Charms is a program we use to help meet the many needs of our band program including email communication, volunteer sign-ups, inventory assignments, and book/polo orders. Charms is used by every band in our district.
Click HERE to go to charmsoffice.com and click the “ENTER/LOGIN” button in the upper right-hand corner.
Under the “Parents/Students/Members” section, enter our school code (AnkeneyBand)
Enter your student password. The default password is your student’s school ID number, however, if your child was in band last year, you may have changed the password then.
Update info - Please update your information! We use Charms as our main communication tool so it is vital that we have a valid email address and phone number for the PARENTS, not just the students.
Change Password – We recommend that you change your password after the initial login. The “lock” icon should allow you to do this.
Store – Students will need to order certain items for band by using the Charms Store. Please note: this only places the order. Your student must bring cash/check (made out to Beavercreek City Schools) to school to pay for your items. As a note, all items in the Charms store are sold at cost - this is not a "fundraiser" for our band program.
SMARTMUSIC – Every student will need to place their order for a 1-year subscription to SmartMusic. This costs $14/year. Siblings who are not in the same band period can share an account.
RENTAL FEES – If you play a school-owned instrument (excluding double reeds), you need to “order” your rental fee. Rental fees are $100/year. Note - 6th graders do NOT need to do this at the start of the year - we will help you with it later.
BOOK 2 – All 7th grade students will need to purchase the Essential Elements, Book 2 – You may choose to purchase it in the Charms store or through another vendor.
AMS BAND T-shirt - All band students will need to order the AMS Band T-shirt to wear with jeans for performances and for our Kings Island Trip.
Volunteers – We will periodically ask for volunteer help. We will email you with volunteer opportunities and you can sign up in Charms.
