Mission Statement
The Music Patrons Association of the Upper Moreland High School, Inc. consists primarily of parents and friends of students participating in the music programs in the high school , middle school and intermediate and Primary Schools. Membership in the association is open to everyone interested in furthering the music program in Upper Moreland. In addition to encouraging and assisting the music programs within the school system, the organization oversees and assumes responsibility for raising funds for a variety of projects in the music departments. You may become a voting member by making a tax-deductible contribution of five dollars, per member, per year. Meetings are held the first Wednesday of each month, except for July and August, in the High School Faculty Lounge. The organization supports students by helping to plan activities and by attending, volunteering and chaperoning various events. Money needs to be raised since the school district funds are not sufficient to cover the costs of our entire music program. In addition, the Music Patrons, a non-profit organization, also provide three scholarships to graduating seniors interested in pursuing their studies in music beyond the high school level. There is one available for a member of band, orchestra and chorus.

Donate to a Memorial Brick for Maureen Perilli.
All, As you all are aware, we recently lost a longtime member of the Music Dept. staff, Maureen Perilli. The executive board has determined that a brick be purchased from the district’s buy a brick program in memory of Maureen. Maureen was a great friend and teacher to our kids and to the Music Patrons. She was not only a gifted instructor but she helped our “little” girls grow into fine outstanding young women. We are looking for donations to help offset this expenditure. Any funds received will be placed into a special account and if we exceed the amount needed for the brick ($500) we will determine at that time what to do with the extra funds. If you are interested in donating to this cause please send a check to: UMMP Maureen Perilli Fund c/o Tom Winterberg 601 Orchard Way Hatboro, PA. 19040 The brick will read: In Loving Memory of Maureen Perilli The Upper Moreland Marching Unit Thank You — Tom Winterberg U.M.M.P.
