Detailed Itinerary & Information for Dallas Trip Coming Soon

Be on the lookout for detailed information regarding the AEB Spring Trip to Dallas.


Important Reminders:

  • Put the Mandatory Trip Meeting on your calendar for Monday, April 16th from 7:30pm to 8:30pm.
  • All students who are traveling to Dallas must be in attendance with a parent or legal guardian. There are no exceptions to this requirement. Students who do not attend with a parent or legal guardian will not be permitted to travel.
  • Students must pass all classes the 5th 6 Weeks in order to travel. This is a Texas UIL rule and there is nothing that can be done to regain eligibility in order to travel. According to the travel company, no refunds can be given. This is a ETA Tours & Adventures policy and not an AEB policy. Directors or Akins admin will not be able to help with this.

Unpaid Band Fees Reported to Akins Front Office & Obligation List

Any unpaid band balances are being reported to the Akins front office for addition to the AHS Obligation List. Students who have a reported balance on the Obligation List are not able to attend prom, receive a diploma, etc.


This is a “last resort” action in order to ensure that all families are taking care of their financial obligations in order to keep the program funded.


Please make any payments ASAP and the obligation can be cleared with the front office.
