Hello BEA Performing Arts parents, guardians and supporters!
The Boosters is excited to kick off another amazing year for our Performing Arts programs with Marching Band Camp, which begins the week of July 28th! Band Camp is quickly followed by the Marching Season, the Fall Play, Band and Chorus concerts, Indoor Competitions, and the Spring Musical.
To ensure our students have the tools they need to shine on stage (and on the field, and in the gym!), we’ve created an Amazon Wish List filled with items that will directly support student performances, rehearsals, and behind-the-scenes work. These are materials that help the ensembles & groups we support to run smoothly—from props and costumes to classroom supplies and tech equipment. And snacks!
Our fundraising this year not only covers normal operating costs, but will also be applied to our Fall 2026 trip to Disney World (information about who is eligible will be forthcoming from your teachers!). We are hoping to be able to defer as much as possible from individual student costs for transportation and meals. In order to make this happen, we are asking you to visit our Amazon Wish List and choose an item (or a few!) to purchase. (Prime Days are July 8-11!) Your donation will be shipped directly to us and put to good use by our dedicated students and staff.
Whether you’re a proud parent, alum, or community supporter, your generosity makes a difference and keeps the arts alive and thriving in our school. Thank you for your continued support of the Performing Arts at Bald Eagle Area. Let’s make this season unforgettable!
