Quick Fact...
College admissions officers continue to cite participation in music as an important factor in making admissions decisions. They claim that music participation demonstrates time management, creativity, expression, and open-mindedness.
- Carl Hartman, “Arts May Improve Students’ Grades,” The Associated Press, October, 1999.
Quote of Note...
“During the Gulf War, the few opportunities I had for relaxation I always listened to music, and it brought me great peace of mind. I have shared my love of music with people throughout this world, while listening to the drums and special instruments of the Far East, Middle East, Africa, the Caribbean, and the Far North, and all of this started with the music appreciation course that I was taught in a third-grade elementary class in Princeton, New Jersey. What a tragedy it would be if we lived in a world where music was not taught to children.”
- General H. Norman Schwarzkopf — United States Army

KOGER COMMUNITY REWARDS PROGRAM
Thanks to all that have been using
the Kroger Community Rewards Program to benefit the Anchor Bay Band
Boosters. This program benefits the students of the Anchor Bay Bands by
allowing our organization to receive 5% of your total purchases at Kroger
Stores.
Kroger has recently changed how
their program works. The change eliminates having to use/charge the
"gift card," but does require all participants to register their
"Kroger Plus Card" online.
Kroger has assigned the Anchor Bay Band Boosters a new NPO number of 82352 (you
will need this number to register your Kroger Plus Card). There are
basically two steps to registering. Follow the directions below to get
enrolled and start benefiting the Anchor Bay Band Boosters!
STEP 1:
- Have your Kroger Plus Card handy and register online
at www.krogercommunityrewards.com.
- If you do not yet have a Kroger Plus card, they
are available at the customer service desk at any Kroger. You can
get one there.
- Click on Sign In/Register
- Most participants are new online customers, so they
must click on SIGN UP TODAY in the "New Customer?" box.
- Sign up for a Kroger Rewards Account by entering zip code, clicking
on favorite store, entering your email address and creating a password,
agreeing to the terms and conditions
- You will then get a message to check your email
inbox and click on the link within the body of the email.
STEP 2:
- After clicking on the link in the email, click on My
Account and use your email address and password to proceed to the next
step.
- Click on Edit Kroger Community Rewards Information (on the right of the page) and input your Kroger Plus Card number.
- Update or confirm your information if needed.
- Enter NPO number of 82352 (or name of organization) and
select the Anchor Bay Band Boosters from list that pops up and
click on confirm.
- To verify you are enrolled correctly, you will see
your organization's name on the right side of your information page.
OTHER INFO:
- REMEMBER, purchases will not count for your group
until after your member(s) register their card(s).
- Do you use your phone number at the register?
Call 877-576-7587 to get your Kroger Plus card number.
- Members must swipe their registered Kroger Plus
card or use the phone number that is related to their registered
Kroger Plus card when shopping for each purchase to count.
VG'S COMMUNITY SHARE FUND
Our organization can earn 1% of purchases. Save your VGs receipts and turn them in with your band student in an envelope clearly labeled or bring them to the next band booster meeting. You can also turn the receipts in at the store, designating them for the Anchor Bay Band Boosters.
AMERICAN DIAMOND IMPORTERS
Through the use of our AB Band Booster promo code, ABHSBB, friends and family can help support the ABHS band’s success by making purchases on the American Diamond Importers website. Ten percent (10%) of every sale goes toward raising funds for the Anchor Bay Band Boosters - helping to provide for essentials such as uniforms, equipment, awards, and clinicians. It’s a fun and easy program to use, whether you’re a band booster, a student, a family member, or a friend.
Again, our special online promo code is: ABHSBB.
How it Works:
-
AB Band Boosters and students pass out the promo code to friends and family and encourage them to visit www.americandiamondimporters.com.
-
Friends and family make online purchases and enter the promo code at time of checkout.
-
Quarterly, American Diamond Importers will total all sales under your school’s promo code and donate 10% of those sales to our Anchor Bay Band Boosters.
So, Get the Word Out! Send it out in an e-mail. Phone your Aunt Bea with the promo code and let her know that 10% of any American Diamond Importers online purchase will benefit our instrumental music program. Be sure to let everyone know that American Diamond Importers will ship free in the USA and Canada, too!
