About

The Band and Orchestra Parent Association is a volunteer group that supports the students and teachers of District 64’s instrumental music program. We deliver opportunities that would not otherwise be possible to more than 800 children in grades 4 through 8. Membership drives are BOPA’s main income source, as well as PTO contributions and your concert donations. Your funds support:

• Instrument repairs & purchases
• Scholarships for summer music camps
• Sheet music, books, CDs & software
• Guest artists & music workshops
• Contest fees & tour costs
• Audio equipment
• Medals for solo recitalists and IMEA winners
• Incentives and parties for the musicians
