Know someone who would be great at performing in the Akins Color Guard? Have them contact Mr. Fincher or stop by the band hall ASAP! We are actively recruiting new members for the upcoming year!

There are quite a few families that are behind on band fee payment arrangements.

Please stay on top of your band balances.

As we look ahead to 2017-2018, no student will be permitted to register for Band in 2017-2018 if there is an outstanding balance.

Invoices will be coming home this week. Please make plans to take care of your outstanding balances.

Contact Mr. Fincher if you have questions about your current balance.

The Akins Wind Symphony performed in the Dallas Winds Invitational Festival on Saturday, April 29th. The ensemble enjoyed an amazing performance in one of the most beautiful performance spaces in the nation!
