 * What is BAMPA????**

// BAMPA is short for "Balfour Area Music Parents Association". It is an organization run by the parents of band students in the program. BAMPA assists the Elementary Band Program in a variety of ways including fundraising, clinics, trips, uniforms, scholarships, special events, concerts, awards, and more. Without BAMPA, the Band Program would not be possible! //
