Recently a mailing went out to all 2009-2010 Pioneer Band Families containing several documents about what to expect in the way of fees and fundraising expectations for the upcoming school year. These same documents are available online on our new Financial Information for Pioneer Band Families page. We hope this information will provide some clarity and help families better anticipate their financial participation in the band program.

If you have questions or comments, feel free to contact our PBA bookkeeper, Daryl Hurst, at bookkeeper@aapioneerbands.org.

Dear Band Camp Families

We’ve started counting down to Band Camp! By now you should have received your Band Registration Packet. If you’ll be meeting us up at camp, please mail your forms in soon so we’ll have them before registration day on August 10. Check out the Band Camp 2009 Issue of our PBA Newsletter (”Notes”) for further details.

We still need more people to sign up for the Charter Bus to Band Camp Sunday. Please read the following flyer and sign up at our website: http://aapioneerbands.org/wp-content/forms/interlochen_bus.htm. We’re looking forward to visiting, watching Interlochen history and even playing games, or napping (my husband suggested that) on the bus instead of all driving separately.

Since we now have our bookkeeping in order, we’ll be sending out a mailing with PBA Financial Information. We’re including a FAQ, to help you figure everything out. You can even choose how you’d like to get billed for your band camp balance if you have one!

Hope you’re enjoying the relatively cool July summer days
Gloria Wilson, President
Pioneer Band Association
