Who We Are
The Glenbrook North Band Parent Organization (GBN BPO) consists of the parents of the students in any band program at GBN, including the jazz bands and the color guard. Other family members and friends are also welcome and encouraged to support the band by becoming a Friend of the BPO.
| What we do: | We are an active group that seeks to enhance GBN’s band program by raising money to help fund scholarships and enrichment programs, invite guest artists, fund instrument replacement, and other needed band initiatives. We chaperone activities such as marching band contests, concerts and band trips. We are a presence at football and basketball games as we cheer on the Spartans and our bands. And we are a social group that enjoys getting together around our shared enthusiasm for our kids’ music. |
| How you can help: | Parents, grandparents and alumni are all welcome to become a Friend of the BPO with a donation amount of your choice. If you donate $30.00 or more, you will receive a car magnet to proudly display your support. In recognition and thanks, we publish the names of our donors in our concert programs and online. The band needs your support! Please become a Friend of the BPO by filling out the form below and returning it with your donation. |
| Questions? | BPO President Betsy Decker at: gbnbpoprez@gmail.com |
| Timeline: | For budgeting purposes, we appreciate donations at the beginning of the school year, but we will accept support at any time throughout the year. |
