Elkins Area Bands Auxiliary

Welcome to our web site!

This web site is operated by the Elkins Area Bands Auxiliary (EABA). We are the organization of band parents who volunteer their time and talents to support the Elkins High School and Elkins Middle School bands.

This support includes fundraising activities to pay for the monetary needs of the bands such as buying uniforms, instruments, music and paying transportation costs, as well as providing the help in keeping track of, collecting, and repairing uniforms, providing band camp and trip chaperones, pulling the trailer, and the parent pit crew that helps set up the pit at band shows.

For our organization to be successful, we need the help and support of all our band students, parents, and our local community.

*ANNOUNCEMENT*

EHS Band Parents and Students

     Let me start off by saying that I am very excited to be the new Band Director of "The Spirit of the Mountains." I know that many of you have a lot of questions about what is going to happen this Summer and Fall, and I will answer as many questions asap. We need to have a Parent/Student Informational Meeting very soon. Hopefully you will find that the Band Activities this summer are not that much different than last year. This should make for a smooth transition for the up coming season. I know that it is almost July and we don't have very much time to get things going so I am providing some dates so we can get everything organized.

Thursday July 1st - Parent Informational Meeting EHS Auditorium 6:00pm

At this meeting I will hopefully answer many of your questions about the activities this Summer and Fall. I know that this is short notice but we need to get started very soon.

June 30th July 1st & 2nd - Tigerette Clinics and Auditions
EHS 9:00am - 12:00pm    Auditions July 2nd Time TBA
All interested girls need to be at these Clinics and Audition. If you have any questions please address them at the July 1st meeting with Farrah. I know that this is also short notice and that there is a possibility that these dates will not work for everyone. We may be able to have a Make-Up date but remember with this short of a timetable I may not be able to accommodate everyone. For this I do apologize, but I will do my best so that everyone interested will get a chance. Pass the word.

July 1st and 8th 9:00 am to 12:00pm   Drum Major Clinics
July 9th @ 9:00am   Drum Major Auditions
All who are interested in trying out for Drum Major must be there for these clinics and auditions.

With all of this that I am trying to get done I need your help. If you know of anyone that is going to be, or wants to be in band this fall please let them know about these dates. I know that we are trying to get this information to everyone but there may be some that we missed. So please pass the word. If you know anyone that used to be in the band and wants to come back, tell them about the meeting on the 1st. I would like to have everyone in the band this fall.

I know that we have a lot of work to do and not much time to do it in. However, I am looking for an exciting and productive season. Hope so see you on the 1st.

Joseph Bowen
Band Director EHS
