Band Booster Family,

 

First of all, congratulations!  Hayfield beat South County in football this past Friday.  Hopefully, this is a good sign for things to come this season;)

 

Secondly, school officially begins Tues, 6 Sep for our students.  Now, the hard work and fun really begin: )

 

Thirdly, HELP HELP HELP!  We need all the volunteers we can get for our STAPLE PARTY” from 6 to 8 pm, Tues, 6 Sep to help prepare the 2,500 to 3,000 TAG Day packages for this coming Saturday, 10 SepPlease come for even an hour if you can’t make the entire two hours.  Meet in the Band Room.  Remember, this is the #1 fundraiser for the Band Boosters & students!  Erin Fitzsimmons is leading this with the help of Michelle Booth and Jocelyn Valdez. 

 

NOTE:  If your student is working TAG Days (8 am to 4 pm, Sat, 10 Sep/8 am to 12 pm, Sat 17 Sep), then they should be signed up with a group & have a designated parent driver.  Please ask & confirm they have done so.

 

Fourthly, the first Marching Band performance is a home football game 7 pm, Fri, 9 Sep vs Stuart HS.  We still need a few volunteer slots filled.  Please see either Sign-Up Genius (http://signupgenius.com/go/hssband1 ) or the attached Excel spreadsheet.  Hope to see you all there.

 

Fifthly, next need for volunteers.  We have a performance at Island Creek next Wed, 7 Sep, right after school, and we need cars for transportation over there.  Please e-mail meJ

 

Sixthly, next next need for volunteers, Mr. Helm is asking to get some volunteers to paint the drum line floor on Tues, 6 Sep during band practice at 6pm. Wear old clothes as we will be spray painting. Mike Adams will be thereJ

 

Finally, our students REALLY NEED YOU!  As most teenagers, they will NEVER admit this.  Your VOLUNTEERISM is ESSENTIAL to THEIR SUCCESS!!!  Additionally, they really do APPRECIATE seeing you @ their various events cheering for them.  I hope to see ALL the parents volunteering @ various events throughout the year: )  If there is ANYTHING I can do or answer, please let me know.  Please keep the following links for future reference:
