Welcome to Eden Prairie Band Parent Organization (BPO).
Eden Prairie BPO's goal is to lend volunteer support to the Eden Prairie Band Program in the following ways:
To recruit and train volunteers as required to support the activities of the Band Program
To facilitate two-way communication between the Band Directors and the Band Parents; sharing information and needs
To provide a forum for interaction between band parents to share insights, needs and desires for the students and the band program
To advocate for the Band Program in the Greater Eden Prairie Community
To raise funds for the intent and purpose of supporting all Eden Prairie Band Programs
Thank you for your consideration to join the Eden Prairie Band Parent Organization (BPO) Board.
For the 2025-2026 school year, the BPO Board will elect a Vice President, and up to seven Member-at-Large seats. Members-at-Large are voting members of the BPO board and assist with the work of the BPO.
These seats will be filled by current, active BPO members. The BPO Board seeks diversity amongst the programs and sections their students participate in. As such, the ballot will be crafted to ensure representation from all programs. The term for the Vice President is two years (one as VP and one as President) beginning July 1, 2025. The term for Treasurer and Members-at-Large is for one year, also beginning July 1, 2025.
The expected time commitment is approximately six to ten hours per month for the Vice President, and two to four hours per month for the Treasurer and Members-at-Large. This includes attending Board meetings and performing the work of the Board.
Further, to ensure the strength of the BPO organization, Board members will be asked to fill a specific BPO position if that position is not filled from the BPO membership. This could increase the expected time commitment.
Please complete the BPO Board Application below by May 15, 2025. Email edenprairiebands@gmail.com with any questions.
The Eden Prairie Band Parent Organization is required, upon request, to provide copies of the three most recently filed annual information returns (IRS Form 990) and the organization's application for tax-exemption. To request this information you can email treasurer@edenprairiebpo.org.
Thank you for supporting Eden Prairie Bands. Your donations make it possible to provide quality musical and educational experience to all band students.
Thank you!
