Eagle Band Activities Association

About the EBAA

The Eagle Band Activities Association (EBAA) is made up of parents of the Pennsville Eagle Marching Band.  The EBAA meets almost every month of the school year.  The EBAA provides many things for the band.  It organizes and runs all fundraisers, band jacket sales, shirt & hat sales, plans the end of the season Banquet, Showcase of Bands, fits & repairs uniforms, all while trying to keep parents informed about activities of the band.  We also lend assistance to the Band Director and staff when needed.  We have a Chinese Auction every year, and plan lunches & snacks for competitions.   We provide scholarships to every graduating member of the band.  We also have a breakfast for all Senior Band Members & their families.  We cook, bake, type, chaperone & sew our way through the year.  The membership is free, the hours are long, but the rewards are priceless! 
 

EVERYONE is WELCOME!! 


I realize in this hectic life we lead that everyone is being pulled in so many different directions, but if everyone can help a little, then we can accomplish much for the band.  There are many ways you can help such as donating sodas, sandwiches, cookies or candy when asked to.  Throughout the year you will get calls for donations of these things, PLEASE do what you can to help the person calling as they are also volunteering their time to call.  We have one very big event each year, Showcase of Bands.  We need EVERY available person we can get for this event. Please clear your calendar and come help with this event.  We have a lot of fun and it’s a great way to get to know other parents & watch your Band Member in their first performance of the year.  Whatever help you can give this year will be greatly appreciated!  Suggestions are always welcome to improve the Association, so let your voice be heard, come to the meetings and support the students.    If you ever have any questions, please feel free to contact me at eaglebandactivitiesassoc@yahoo.com
