AEB Summer Band 2017
All members of the 2017-2018 Akins Band start July 31st!
It is hard to believe, but it is already time to get started with the 2017-2018 school year for the Akins High School Band!
The scheduling information on this document is critical for all members of the 2017-2018 edition of the Akins Eagle Band.
If, for any reason, you were not able to attend Music Camp in June...NO PROBLEM! Come to the Akins Band Hall on July 31st at 7am and we will get you setup.
If you have any questions or scheduling challenges, please contact Tate Fincher, Director of Bands at Akins High School immediately via e-mail (click here) or phone at 512-841-9804.
All events and schedules are available at any time on the calendar page of the Akins Band website (www.akinseagleband.org).
Note: If you have a friend who did not attend Music Camp, but is wanting to be in band at Akins HS, please have them contact us immediately!
All rehearsals are required of all members of AEB. Conflicts and/or excused absences should be communicated early so alternate plans can be made.

Marching Band Rehearsal Weekly Schedule
The weekly rehearsal schedule changes from week to week based on when Football games occur, holidays, and contests.
The best way to know what the schedule looks like is to use the band calendar on the band website and/or subscribe to the calendar. All marching band events are listed under the "AEB Main" calendar. You can select different calendars using the drop down in the upper right hand corner.
You can view the calendar here.
Scroll through to August of 2017...that is where the information for the Fall of 2017 begins.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to give a static calendar that never changes...but all dates and times are updated in real time.
All performances are required of all members of AEB. There are no excused absences from performances except: severe illness or death in the family.
