HSS Band 2009-10.27 Homecoming Week Ahead!

Hi Band Boosters!
I was impressed with our whole group on Saturday at the Oakton competition. With a very full list of bands in our division, Hayfield wasn't in the top 3 finalists; but, I thought they sounded terrific! (Too bad I'm not a judge, eh?!?!?)
Many thanks to all the supportive parents who helped out: Dave "The Driver" Collins; Mary "Slim Jim" Hess, Nick, Sabrena, Dottie, Gwen, Donna, Don, Ralph, Che, Jean, Bao, Lory, Mary Anne, Ed, and, a special note of thanks to all the student helpers who carried equipment and bags, went looking for extra gloves, and generally are so supportive! I'm sorry I don't have all your names; but you should know you are appreciated.

Our big event this week will be the Homecoming festivities on Friday. There will be a parade through the Hayfield Farm neighborhood starting at 4:45p. The marching band will march in that parade (not in band uniform). We'll then take the kids to the band room and feed them pizza and dessert. (The boosters will provide the pizza and drinks; we'll ask for volunteers to send in desserts.)
After they eat, the kids will get ready for the game. Because of the Homecoming Court activities at halftime, the schedule for band is different from a regular game: the band plays for some of the halftime festivities, and then they perform their program AFTER the game.

Thanks to Leslie, Bettina, Yvette, and Mary who have offered to help with the Homecoming activities. If there's anyone else who would like to help with the pizza and drinks, please email me at bandlsm@gmail.com If you'd be willing to send in cookies or brownies for the kids on Friday, please reply to bandlsm@gmail.com.

We also will need our full complement of game helpers (uniforms, equipment, and snacks). Here's who signed up to help:
Uniforms: Sabrena, Sandy, Elsa
Equipment: Ed,Mary, Nick, Hal, Robert, Don, Ralph (Please let me know if you can stay after the game for the performance.)
Stands: Bettina, Mary Power
Water (send in 1 case of water bottles): Sandy (we'll need 3 more)
Snacks (send in about 2 dozen snacks): Tawnie, Mary H., Amy, (we'll need 1 more)

Thanks in advance for allyour help; if you have any questions or ideas please feel free to get in touch with me!

Humbly serving our kids,
Lorraine Monaco
