2026 NPMK Yearbook
We are producing a digital yearbook to commemorate the 2026 season. It will be available to download at Community Knight on Nov 9. We also intend to make a print version available for purchase (details TBA). The yearbook will include the group photos taken on picture day, candids from the season, section pages, and senior baby pictures (on a “Guess who?” page). To make this book even more special, you have the option to submit Parent Ads and Shout-Outs to recognize your favorite band members.
Here’s a summary of the ways you can contribute to the program book:
Parent Ads (view sample half-page ad)
Create an ad to show your pride in your favorite Marching Knight! Your ad should be submitted via email as a jpg or pdf. Size options: Senior full-page ($5), Senior half-page (FREE), Underclassmen half-page ($10), Underclassmen quarter-page ($5).
Shout-Outs
Shout-outs are short messages that will be printed in the program. You may submit multiple shout-outs. Shout-outs are FREE.
Senior Baby Pictures
Parents of seniors: Please email a baby/toddler/childhood picture of your Marching Knight in jpg or pdf format. There is no cost. We want to make sure ALL of our seniors are included!
Section Pages (view sample section page)
Student section leaders are responsible for creating a full page for their section. If you are a section leader parent, please encourage your child to get this done!
Additional Info
- Show art and the NP logo are linked on the Graphics Archive webpage.
- Parent Ads and Senior Baby Pictures should be in jpg or pdf format and emailed to npmarchingknights@gmail.com with “Yearbook Ad – Student Name” in the subject line.
- If you owe a payment, place a check payable to NPMA with “Yearbook Ad” in the memo line in a labeled envelope and deposit in the Blue Box OR pay online via PayPal. All proceeds will benefit Knights in Need.
- Deadline for submissions and payment is Sunday, November 1.
Please complete this Google form to indicate the submissions you will be making to the yearbook.

Thank you for adhering to these guidelines!
