Inclement Weather Procedures
Students will never be placed in a situation where they are in danger.
We will rehearse indoors or, if weather permits, outdoors. In the case of a light drizzle that would permit us to rehearse outside, we will do so in panchos with no instruments or brass instruments only.
The safety and well-being of our students is the first priority. We must also do everything that we can to continue working on our production of Strangers in the Night!
Events, Announcements, and Information
SNAP! Fundraising Kickoff Meeting
"Snap is a social donation platform that allows our band to receive donations from our networks, communities, and supporters. Snap uses the power of social media with a safe, fun, and interactive approach. All we will ask is that each parent/guardian help their student gather 20 or more e-mail addresses of their biggest fans and family members. Your contacts are strictly private and protected."
- Safe and Protected - Snap! Raise is the safest online donation platform available. All data is private and never redistributed.
- No Product Sales - Members will not be asked to sell products for this fundraiser. Every effort is made through our own custom built page and shared via Email, Facebook, Twitter, and Text.
- E-mail Strategy - All supporters will receive a receipt for their gift that is tax deductible, included with a personalized thank you from the band member. There are three reminder emails sent to donors, with an option to unsubscribe.
- Reverse Flow - Snap's platform and process is what makes the fundraiser so successful. It allows an extensive reach across communities by providing options to connect with multiple donors and their social networks; maximizing our fundraising efforts.

The per person cost for this year's trip is $499.
Payments will be made directly to Educational Travel Adventures (ETA), our new travel company. ETA has an online portal where you can make payments. Students who wish to fundraise for the trip can still do so, but must have money in the account prior to each payment due date. Otherwise, payments will need to be made directly to ETA. In other words, you must do fundraising prior to trip due dates, not after.
AEB Band Staff will have no control over students being dropped due to late or non payment.
