Fruit Sale: The fruit sale is underway; only 2 weeks remain! Fruit sales have been lagging expectations. Please encourage your student to reach out to neighbors, friends and family to give them the opportunity to buy delicious Florida-grown fruit.
Navel oranges and red
grapefruit are offered for $18.00 for a box of 16-18
navel oranges or 8-10 red
grapefruit. Mixed boxes of 6-8 oranges and 5
grapefruit are available for $20.00. Fruit will be delivered in early December. Students will earn money in the form of credits toward their spring trip account for each box of fruit sold. The more they sell, the less the trip will cost.
Remember, you can order online this year at https://www.floridaindianrivergroves.com/shopnow.asp?id=593029. If ordering online, please use your student's seller ID (obtainable by e-mail from lindalichtman@yahoo.com) to ensure the sale is properly credited. Ordering online offers two delivery options--delivery to Hayfield or delivery directly to a home address. The price when delivering to Hayfield will be the same as quoted above. The price per box when delivered to a different location will be $35.00 per box.
Drum Line. Mr. Helm is making the initial announcement for Drum Line.
The first indoor drumline rehearsal will take place this Wednesday, Oct. 24 from 2:30pm until 4:00pm.
Initial instrument assignments will be made and we will work through some of the music. All band students are welcome to try-out for the group regardless of their primary instrument. An updated schedule will be available soon, including a list of rehearsals (usually on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:30pm-6:30pm), a parent meeting (soon), and competitions.
Spring Trip. The Spring trip is scheduled for April 17-21. The trip includes lodging, bus transportation, adjudication and performance fees, 2 breakfasts, 2 dinners, a 3-day park-hopper pass to Walt Disney World Parks, dining coupons for the parks and a dinner show experience. Students will need to bring money for 1 dinner, 2 breakfasts, 4 lunches and money for shopping. The cost is $680 dollars, payable in 5 payments of $136. The second payment is due November 15 with additional payments due January 4, February 1, and March 1. Checks should be payable to Hayfield Secondary School. Note: the cost of each student's trip will be adjusted with any fundraising credits that he/she accrues in his/her Booster organization account.
Band Booster Membership. I am attaching a Band Booster membership form. Annual membership in Band Boosters is $10 per person and $20 per family. You can become a patron by donating $30 or more. Patrons are acknowledged on each band concert program. You can mail your donation or have your student place it in the Booster drop box across from Mr. Burke's office.
Pictures and Videos. Thanks to those who have provided pictures of the band. We still need more. If you have taken pictures and recorded videos of the band throughout the season, please share them with us. We would like to show some of them at the Band Awards Dinner in November.
