Good afternoon ABBA Members,

I hope this email finds you in good spirits.

Thank you to everyone that was able to make it out to the 2nd Annual Eagle Fan Fest!  It was a great night and the boosters were able to collect a little over $1500 in donations!  This will go to fund the band and colorguard programs in a variety of ways.

Next week Tuesday, August 13, is Premier Night.  Please consider volunteering (
https://forms.gle/mTpuwkoouakY7aHt8 ).  This year ABBA will be offering Band Students and family's the opportunity to purchase a Chick-Fil-A dinner before Premier Night's call time. For $5 you can purchase a Chic-fil-A sandwich and bottle of water.  We will also have chips available to purchase for $1.  We would like to get an idea of how many students will be purchasing a dinner to ensure we have enough on hand. You can find the form at https://forms.gle/mTpuwkoouakY7aHt8

We are in need of some volunteers to serve on different ABBA committees. Most of these committees require a small amount of time weekly, monthly or seasonally.  Please consider serving on one of these committees.  It's a great way to support the band and colorguard programs and meet new people.  Please view these opportunities at https://www.allenband.com/content.aspx?page_id=22&club_id=207916&module_id=313831

We are still looking for a communications chair to assist in social media posts.  If you are interested or have any question please email Christina at publicrelations@allenband.com

The online store in up and running.  Please log in for member pricing.  Questions, email Amber at fundraising@allenband.com
Colorguard spirit wear questions, email colorguard@allenband.com

Football season is right around the corner. Please remember you must have completed and been approved by Allen ISD to volunteer.  All volunteers must be cleared at least 3 days before any game, competition or event.  Apply at https://www.allenisd.org/Page/214

There are a few students we don't have a Dietary Questionnaire filled out for.  If your student has a dietary need and the form has not been completed for them, there will not be a reserved meal for them.  Please fill this out https://forms.gle/nCwUCMWFVGjLjpZ68

Band camp is in full swing and school is about to start.  ABBA was delighted to fund leadership training for all our SLT, Drum Majors and Colorguard Captains.  The 3 days before camp started SLT participated in a student leadership program by SASI.  Drum Majors attend a leadership camp at UNT earlier in the summer and Colorguard Captains attended a a leadership camp at UTA.

Be sure to follow us on social media or visit our website for all the latest band and colorguard information.
