Congrats to the band for an EXCELLENT performance at VBODA on Saturday; and for doing such a great job leading the Hayfield Farm Halloween Parade on Sunday. I've received many grateful comments and positive reviews from the Hayfield Farm community ~ the parade wouldn't be the same without your contribution.
THANKS also to the amazing team of parents who stepped up to help on Saturday .... especially after our last-minute plea for more help. Everything went smoothly thanks to YOU!
This Week:
SELL FRUIT!! It's time to make your final push selling Florida Fruit ~ the orders are due Friday. If you need info or forms, check out the Fruit Sale page of the band web site (http://www.hayfieldbands.com/ ) or send me an email. You also can contact our Fruit Chair, Linda Lichtman. NOTE: when you submit your order, please make sure that your student's name is on the order and that you double-check that the correct amount of money is enclosed. (Thanks for your help!)
Senior Recognition Night is at Friday's football game (I've heard there's a fireworks show after the game!):
Atsuko Russell will lead the effort to make boutonnieres for all 27 of our graduating seniors. If you can help, please come to the band room from 5-6pm (we may stay later depending on how it's going!) on Thursday, November 4. (Parents of Freshmen, Sophomores and Juniors: It's a nice tradition if parents of younger classes help make the boutonnieres for the outgoing senior class. I'm all thumbs when it comes to this sort of thing, but Atsuko is a great instructor, and we had a lot of fun last year! )
