ABBA Web Site Photo and Student Name Policy Statement


The Anderson Band Boosters Association (ABBA) actively supports your student's activities in the Trojan Band and seeks to inform our community of the many individual and collective achievements of our band members and faculty.

We like to include photos in news articles submitted to both the Anderson community and public newspapers, as well as on the web site. Please keep in mind that while full names may be associated with photos in an AHS newsletter or on the Yahoo or in public news articles concerning the Trojan Band, only first names may be associated with photos on the Band's web site. We also do not publish student phone numbers on our website.

The Board of the Anderson Band Booster Association revised the policies for the use of photographs and names on the ABBA web site during the 2002-2003 school year.  Past web site policy was so restrictive that most photographs and achievement announcements could not be posted in a timely manner, if at all.  In some cases, the photos could never be used because parents could not be contacted for release permission.  Attempts to obtain releases from every student's parent or guardian at the beginning of the school year failed miserably.  Logistical and administrative burden on volunteers was unreasonable due to the lack of returned release forms.

While student privacy and safety remains a prime concern, restrictions on the reasonable use of photographs and student's names on the web have been relaxed. We encourage parents to carefully consider the limitations in recognition of our outstanding band students before making such a request.  While it
may be extremely difficult to completely eliminate your student's image on the web site, especially in group
photos, we do understand the desire for privacy. 

If you would like to restrict the use of your student's name and/or photo on this web site, please submit the Opt-Out form by clicking here (requires Acrobat PDF viewer available by clicking GetAcrobat.  Print it out,and give your completed form to the AHS Band Director. If you have questions, concerns, or comments about the web policy, please send a message to the webmaster .
