HSS Band 2009-10.4 The Week Ahead: Rehearsals, Pool Party, Performance and Potluck

Hi Band Family,
Thanks to all the parents who joined us last week at our first ever Welcome Coffee for band parents. It was great to meet some new faces and re-connect with returning families.

Note - the calendar for the 2009-2010 year is now posted on the Hayfield band web site:
http://www.hayfieldbands.com/ The first home football game is Thursday, September 3!

The week of 8/24-8/28/09:
Marching band Rehearsals from 8am-5pm Monday - Friday

Monday and Tuesday: Dottie Andrews will organize volunteers to measure and assign uniforms to the students from 1pm-5pm in the band room. If you can help, please come by the band room between 1 - 5pm Monday 8/24 and/or Tuesday 8/25.

Thursday: Pizza party at Hayfield Farm Pool 5pm-8pm. (Band rehearsal will finish around 4pm.) The pool is located at the end of Hayfield Rd in the Hayfield Farm community (across Telegraph Road from the high school). More details coming this week. (If you can help with this event, please reply to me -- we'll need someone to purchase drinks and paper goods, and arrange for pizza delivery.)

Friday: Performance and Potluck starting at 6pm. The marching band will perform on the blacktop near the tennis courts at 6pm. We'll follow the performance with a potluck dinner in the HS cafeteria. At the potluck you'll have the opportunity to sign up for volunteer positions, pay for marching shoes, and order a band booster T-shirt (optional). Thanks once again this year to Mary Anne Mulligan for organizing our booster shirts. The t-shirts are $10, and polos are $25 -- please bring money or check made out to Hayfield Band Boosters if you'd like to purchase a shirt. We'll have several shirts available so you can check out the size and style before ordering. Families with last names A-M please bring side dish or dessert; last names N-Z please bring a main dish to share.

Let's hope for good weather for our marchers this week! Mr. Burke reminds the students to wear sunscreen and sneakers, and to bring lunch, water, and a hat to rehearsals.

(Che graciously told me I could use his wonderful sign-off:)

Humbly serving our kids,
Lorraine Monaco
