What We Do

The Newport Band Parents Association (NBPA) enriches our students’ band experience in many ways…

• We provide information to parents

• We encourage parent involvement with the band program

• We plan and host special events

• We coordinate volunteers

• We support the Newport High School Band staff

• We provide a forum for new ideas

• We raise and administer funds to support band opportunities and supplement the equipment budget, allowing us to buy and repair instruments for the students and to provide need-based student financial assistance for various events

2025-2026 NBPA Board

The NBPA and its board meet once per month during the school year, generally on the second Tuesday of the month. Check the Cut Time calendar for exact dates. Families of band members are welcome to join us for any of these meetings. Feel free to email us with any questions you may have.
