Food Allergies/Dietary Restrictions

Meal plans are being set for the first football game, and we want to make sure that everyone has safe food to eat!
Questions? Please contact Katie Geier at foodallergies@unionbands.com

It is our desire to take great care of our Union Bands members at all times, and we want to make sure there is safe food to eat at every snack and meal with us. In order for us to accommodate a food allergy or dietary restriction of any kind (this includes vegetarians/vegans, and those who follow religious guidelines regarding food, but should not be used for foods that are simply disliked) you MUST UPDATE CHARMS TO LET US KNOW. If you have not indicated any special dietary needs in CHARMS, we have no way of knowing and will not have alternative foods at snack/mealtime. This is incredibly important, especially when we are traveling.

 

*For a peanut allergy, please indicate in CHARMS if meals from Chick-fil-A can be eaten or not. Chick-fil-A uses peanut oil in their fryers.

For example, FOOD ALLERGIES: All Tree Nuts/Peanuts, cannot eat CFA.

 

To update information in CHARMS, log in to your/your student’s account. From the HOME page, click on the icon that says UPDATE INFO. Once on the STUDENT INFO page, fill in the box next to FOOD ALLERGIES. Be sure to click the green UPDATE button at the bottom of the page when you are finished.

 

If there is a food allergy situation that requires special attention, please feel free to contact Katie Geier, UBPC Food Allergy Coordinator, at foodallergies@unionbands.com to discuss your concerns.


Uniform Fittings/Member Gear Pick up - August 6!

August 6th for ALL High school concert band students! All students participating in the high school band program will be issued a concert uniform for band concerts. Please make every effort to attend this uniform fitting day. If you have any questions, please email uniforms@unionbands.com.  

You will also have the opportunity to pick up any necessary member gear. These required items are worn by all high school band students to football games and pep assemblies. For questions about member gear, please email membergear@unionbands.com


VOLUNTEER TO BE A SECTION PARENT

The Section Parent Coordinator organizes the efforts of the parents within their student's section to support the section by assisting in uniform dressing before each game and competition, preparing a comfortable place for them to rest and bond in our competition tent cities (with shade tents, chairs, drinks, etc.), encouraging bonding activities outside of the regular schedule, encouraging communications within the parent group, and generally supporting the efforts of the staff, UBPC, and the student leadership in making the section a positive environment and a success.


Build your band account balance this month through Drillers, "Raise Right" (formerly "Shop for Scripts"), work at Palen, and Tuttle Concessions! Get ready for our fall sales fundraisers coming soon! We plan to offer Blue and Gold, QT Fundraising cards, and Texas Roadhouse Rolls. Chocolate is anticipated to be available after the start of school this fall. https://www.unionbands.com/currentfundraisers

Sign up for the Fundraising REMIND for monthly fundraiser information, money turn-in dates, product distribution dates & locations, and chocolate distribution dates. Text @ubpc-fundr to 81010

*Where possible UBPC prefers ONE BIG CHECK for your fundraising payments!


STUDENT ACCOUNTS ARE DUE

Renegade Regiment fees are currently due. Please log into your student’s CHARMS account to ensure your June and July fees are paid and your account is current. The next payment is due by August 15th. Have questions? Visit

DRILLERS OPPORTUNITIES

There are still wonderful fundraising opportunities at OneOk Field this summer for your band account!  There are plenty of Drillers and FC Tulsa games remaining on the schedule this season.  If you volunteer to work at one of the concession stands, you will make money for your Charms account.  The Drillers will pay you $45 PER VOLUNTEER for every game you work.  This is easy money and a great way to raise funds without the pressure of selling something to your friends or family.

 

Plus if transportation is an issue, we now have the ability to coordinate a bus if enough volunteers need a ride to OneOk Field!  Click the link below for more information:
