Mission Statement

Upper Darby Band and Orchestra Parents (UDBOP) is an all-volunteer community non-profit that serves the instrumental students of Upper Darby High School.  Upper Darby School District is a Title I school district that serves the most populous and diverse township in the state.  Upper Darby prides itself on its award winning and outstanding arts and music programming.  We hold the belief that extracurricular arts and music activities can inspire academic achievement and long-term student success.

Financial participation in these activities can be prohibitive for many families and students in Upper Darby.  The goal of our fundraising is to make activities accessible for all interested students.  Funds raised go towards materials the students need to participate in the activities they love.
