AEB Weekly 11/27/17 to 12/3/17

W. Charles Akins High School Band - Austin, TX

Welcome Back!

Sectionals and Full Ensemble Rehearsals Begin!

All students are responsible for checking the website calendar for full ensemble and sectional times on a regular basis.


Schedules are subject to change weekly and "I didn't know" is never a valid reason for missing a sectional or rehearsal. We do our best to keep changes to a minimum, but there are always some unforeseen adjustments that need to be made.

All Accounts Must Be Brought Current Immediately!

There is a significant amount of money that is currently owed on Band Fees.


Please, please, please take a look at your CHARMS account to see what money is owed and settle your account balance this week.


Directors will be calling home to work out payments this week...we must settle all accounts ASAP!

Chocolate Money is Past Due

Turn in chocolate money ASAP for credit to your CHARMS account!


Any money not turned in by 5:00pm on Friday, December 1st will be charged to student CHARMS accounts and no profit will be credited.
