The Ambridge Area School District does what it can when possible to support the Music Programs in our School District, but to do the things we do and go the places we go, it takes additional money and fees. The "business side" of the Ambridge Area High School Marching Band is where the financial support lies when it comes to taking care of the uniforms, providing water, snacks, and often food throughout the school year, as well as assisting with bus fees when possible. We try our best to keep fees and payments at the lowest possible amount, especially during these economically challenging times. Below are the Membership and Band Fees for the upcoming School year.

ALL members of the band are responsible to pay these fees. This includes the Marching Band Students, the Color Guard Students and Bridger Belle Students.

You can now pay band fees and purchase necessary items online! For those who prefer to pay by check, please contact aabb@ambridge.k12.pa.us.

To pay dues and purchase items online, please add items to your cart below. Please know that you can add an item to your cart and return to this page to add more items until you have selected everything that you need for the upcoming band season, rather than making individual transactions along the way. Items will continue to be added to your cart until you are ready to make a single transaction to pay for all of the dues/items. Simply click "continue shopping" after you add an item, and complete the transaction when you have added everything you need. You can pay using a PayPal account, or by credit card.
