ABOUT THE
PT BAND
PT BAND PARENTS ASSOCIATION
FOUNDED IN 1976
The Penn-Trafford Band Parents' Association is comprised of the parents and legal guardians of student members of the Penn-Trafford Concert and Marching Bands, Auxiliary, and Managers. As such, it has as its purpose the financial and logistical support of the band.
The association members volunteer their time and abilities to raise funds for those band activities not provided for in the school district budget that directly benefit the students, serve as chaperones for all band activities, and support the director in attaining goals set for the band.
We accomplish all of this with mutual respect and friendship between students and adults, not forgetting to have fun along the way.
OUR MISSION
To provide financial and logistical support to the Penn-Trafford Band program and ensure every student has the opportunity to perform, compete, travel, and grow as a musician and a person.
WHAT WE DO
THREE PILLARS
FUNDRAISE
Monthly hoagie sales, Raise Right gift cards, home show concessions, and sponsorships fund what the school budget doesn't cover.
VOLUNTEER
From uniform crew to equipment loading to chaperoning trips, parent volunteers are the operational backbone of every event.
SUPPORT
We show up. At competitions, concerts, and community events. The PTBPA is in the stands, behind the scenes, and cheering every performance.
GOVERNANCE
BYLAWS & MEETING MINUTES
The PTBPA holds monthly meetings during the school year. They are open to all band parents. The most recent meeting minutes are posted here after they are approved. Meeting minutes from past meetings can be found on the Forms and Documents page.
