Anyone wanting to renew their membership or purchase a new membership in person may come to the GBCCA headquarters in the education wing at Trinity Lutheran Church, 2701 24th St., (using the south entrance) on April 24 from noon to 7 p.m. or April 25 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Memberships also can be purchased by mailing a check to GBCCA, P.O. Box 1795, Great Bend, KS 67530, or online by credit card at www.goldenbeltcca.org.

The association needs to receive as many renewals as possible during the first two weeks. The third week of the campaign will be devoted to accepting new members, but renewals will still be accepted until April 25. Membership cards will be mailed prior to the first concert.

Joining by the April 25 deadline is important. After May 1 the membership fees will increase by $20 per adult. 

Membership fees from now through April 25: Adults, $50; Full-time students, $10; Family package (two adults and all dependent children living in same household), $110; and Grandparent package (two adults and four minor grandchildren), $110.

Membership fees after May 1: Adults, $70; Full-time enrolled students, still $10; Family package, $150; and Grandparent package, $150. The association will accept memberships until sold out. Memberships will not be available to purchase at the concerts during the season.

Concerts are for members only. No single concert tickets are available. The concerts are held in the Great Bend Municipal Auditorium, Lakin and Stone, beginning at 7 p.m. with doors opening at 6:15 p.m. Because the association encourages young people’s interest and education in music and the performing arts, full-time students will be admitted for a $5 donation.
