HSS Band 2009-10.24 Great game! Dress payment needed; competition next week

Hi Band Boosters,
I woke up with the Hayfield fight song stuck in my head! Congrats to the football team, and great job by the band.

Good job to all the middle-school musicians who participated last night; I especially enjoyed the group who played the "kick-off" song after the marching band had left the stands to get ready for halftime; that was great!

REMINDER: PLEASE - Send in your payments for your daughter's concert dress ASAP! We have to order the dresses this week so they'll arrive in time for the concert. Make checks payable to Hayfield Band Boosters, for $60. THANKS! (And, guys should make sure they have a tuxedo for the December concert - there may still be a sale at JC Penny's; or K&G Warehouse . .. )

A big thanks to Susan Yarwood for being the "Dressparent" and organizing the measuring and ordering of the dresses.

Reminder that we have the Oakton Competition next Saturday (see http://www.hayfieldbands.com/ for details: kids report to school at 10:45a; perform at Oakton at 2:30p; return 6:30p)

Finally, many thanks to all of you who volunteer in big and small ways for the band! Thanks for the snacks and water; thanks for moving equipment; thanks for helping to clean up; thanks for handing out plumes; and so on. Hats off to: Nick and Mary, Ed and Sabrena, Amy, Marie, Erin, Bettina, Leslie, Cheryl, Don, Che, Ralph, M. Hall, Glenda, Dave, Lory, Hal, Ceci, Kevin, all the student helpers, and the MS parents who I met but now I can't remember your names! I'm sorry if I left anyone's name off the list; please know your help is appreciated and makes a difference. Final thanks to Dave Collins for his extra support of the band last night. (We're all going to chip in and buy Dave his own kicking tee!)

Enjoy the holiday weekend.


Humbly serving our kids,
Lorraine Monaco
