AMB WEEKLY UPDATE 5/19/2025

Greetings Eagle Family! Last week left until graduation!! We are super proud of our band seniors! We are down to the finish line!

To receive a spot on the field for next year: you will need to make sure that before you go to summer camp that you have done the following four things:

1. Orientation: If you missed orientation, it would be best to come to my office so that you can get the orientation paperwork.
2. Evaluation: I believe every student has had an evaluation. If you have not yet evaluated, email me and we will schedule a time.
3. Online forms: go to www.atascocitaband.com and click on register to get started with everything if you haven’t done that yet.
4. Fall break form: that needs to be turned in by the end of the school year. High school students can bring it to us. 8th grade students can either scan it and email it to us at [email protected] or turn it in to your middle school directors, and we will get it.

​Here is the breakdown of what’s left:
