HSS Band 2009-10.20 MB takes Second Place at Herndon

Congratulations to the marching band for placing second in their division at the Herndon Competition, Saturday 9/26/2009! They also received an award for best music! (See a photo of the trophy on the band web site; and some photos from the day on the band booster blog.)

Many thanks to all the parents who helped with uniforms, chaperoning, and equipment ~ this couldn't be accomplished without you! (Special thanks to Davon for stopping by the dollar store to stock up on black socks! Our 'emergency' stash is replenished! Also thanks to Dave, Don, and Ralph for getting the equipment to and fro; and for unloading all the equipment at Hayfield before the buses got back to school.)

I was proud to be sitting with Hayfield as our students cheered on other bands who were performing. Even the increasingly heavy rain didn't dampen our students' enthusiasm and good sportsmanship as they applauded for other schools.

I hope everyone gets warmed up and dried off --- and rests up for another fun week ahead of us!

Humbly serving our kids,
Lorraine Monaco
