The Bridge

The Auburn Knights Orchestra (the current band) is currently seeking donations for new equipment. As of April this year, the Auburn Knights Orchestra, Inc. has gained 501(c)(3) status and would like to welcome any and all assistance to the band. Our bassist, Sidney Simmons, has shown a strong desire to play an upright bass, and we would love to grant him that request. Donations are tax deductible so don’t be shy! If you have any information or would like to contribute, please contact AKO Business Manager Errick Johnson at your earliest convenience. And thanks to everyone for their continued support to both the current band and the alumni association. War Eagle!
