HSS Band 2009-10.3 Parent Coffee; Exhibition & Potluck; Uniforms

Hi Band Boosters!
I heard some promising music already from our students yesterday; and it was only the first day! We're off to a good start.

Here's an update on some coming events:

New Band Parent Coffee: Wednesday, August 19 7pm middle-school lecture hall
If you're new to marching band, please join us for some refreshments and some general info about the fun band season ahead of us. Returning parents, please join us as well to meet our new parents and catch up with everyone. (The Hawk Fly-by to pick up back-to-school forms is scheduled from 4-7pm in the front hall of the school; and the band students will be finishing up at 8pm, so you can drop by the coffee in between.) We look forward to seeing you!

Exhibition and Pot-luck: Friday, August 28 6pm
Come enjoy the first performance of the 2009 Marching Hawks. The marching band will perform on the blacktop near the tennis courts in the rear of the school at 6pm. After the performance, all band students and their families are invited to a pot-luck dinner in the HS cafeteria. You'll have the chance to sign up for Tag Day and other volunteer opportunities; pay for marching shoes; and order Band Booster T-shirts. (Thanks to Mary Anne Mulligan who again is organizing our "Hawk Flight Crew" shirts!) Boosters will provide drinks and paper goods. We ask families with last names A-M to bring side dishes or dessert and N-Z to bring a main dish to share. (FYI - All members of band boosters are welcome to watch the performance and join us for the potluck.)

Volunteer Opportunity
It's time to measure the students and assign band uniforms. Dottie Andrews will again be organizing this effort and could use some helping hands. If you can help out, please meet her in the band room Monday and Tuesday (the 24th and 25th) anytime between 1pm - 5pm. Thanks!

If you have questions, comments, or suggestions, please feel free to get in touch with me. I'd love to hear from you.

Looking forward to a great band season,
Lorraine Monaco
