- Memberships are valid for one year.
- You will not be automatically charged or invoiced for the next year. You will receive an email letting you know when it’s time to renew.
- The IBA membership year begins on July 1 and ends on June 30 annually, but memberships can be purchased or renewed at any time of year.
- Examples:
- If you become a member (or renew your membership) on July 1st, it will expire and need to be renewed on June 30th of the following year to remain active.
- If you become a member (or renew your membership) on May 15th, it will expire and need to be renewed on May 14th of the following year to remain active.
- To renew your account, visit the Join or Renew page and select your membership type.
- You will receive an email prior to your expiration date letting you know when it’s time to renew.
- You can also see your expiration/renewal date by going to My Account and clicking on “Subscriptions”.
- Accounts that have expired will not have access to members-only content.
If you are logged in but you see messages saying that content is restricted to members only, it’s because you do have an account but your membership has expired. Click on My Account, Subscriptions, to see the expiration date. After your account has been reactivated you will be able to see the members-only content.
- Payment for IBA can be made online by choosing Stripe or by check by choosing “Pay by Check”.
- WE STRONGLY ENCOURAGE ONLINE PAYMENT for reasons of ease and accuracy.
- Regardless of your payment type, you will receive an email with a printable pdf invoice.
- If paying by check, submit the invoice to your school office and return payment promptly. Ask the check handler to please clearly indicate the names of the band director(s) in the memo line of the check.
Your username is your email address (whichever address you used to sign up).
If you’re becoming a new member, we encourage you to use your PERSONAL email address, because that is less likely to change over time (if you switch schools, retire, etc.).
If you need to change your username, contact webmaster@bandmasters.org (Alec Garringer).
If you need to reset your password, click Forgot Password and you will receive an email to reset it.
If you need to change your membership type (such as moving from Student to Active or from Active to Retired), simply log in (if your email address/username is still the same), and select your new type.
- After you log in, click on My Account. Add your new details and click Save Profile.
- If you need to update your username to a new/different email address, you’ll need to contact webmaster@bandmasters.org.
