Dear Band Boosters,I'm paraphrasing something I saw on Facebook last night (thanks, Dottie!) ....
The Hayfield Hawks did their finest in 90 degree weather. Played the whole length of the parade. Sounded great!
Many thanks to our terrific band directors, and to the wonderful parents who helped get them outfitted, fed, watered, and watched out for them during the parade.
Hawks parents and kids are the greatest!!!
Hayfield parent, Che Russell, shared this clip from the live coverage of the parade on Military.com (thanks, Che!)

And Hayfield parent Bettina Dowell got a great shot of the band as they passed the White House (thanks, Bettina!)
We should all be proud of our kids for the hard work they did yesterday, and, mostly, for the mature, cheerful, and talented way they did it.
It was an honor to participate in our nation's celebration of Memorial Day.
Proud to be a band parent,
Lorraine Monaco
