This is the opportunity for parents to meet Ms. Meng, fill out forms, join the Bellaire Band Parents Organization (BBPO), pay band fees, and get measured for uniforms. This year, students whose fees are not paid by the second football game, Sept 6 (or have other arrangements agreed to with the band director) will not perform on the field until fees are paid or arrangements made with the band director. We have NOT raised band fees from last year: $250 for band members; $350 for guard members. See Fees page for more information.
