Congrats on a great showing at the TMEA Region 18 Band Auditions! Click below for results!

Excellent Job Hosting Region Auditions!

We received nothing but rave reviews on your hard work hosting the Region Band auditions! AEB Directors are so proud of the hard work of our parents and students in hosting students, parents, and directors from the entire Austin area!

Continue to Check Sectional & Ensemble Rehearsal Schedules Weekly!

All students are responsible for checking the website calendar for full ensemble and sectional times on a regular basis.


Schedules are subject to change weekly and "I didn't know" is never a valid reason for missing a sectional or rehearsal. We do our best to keep changes to a minimum, but there are always some unforeseen adjustments that need to be made.
