Band Booster Family,
NOTE: Here is the YouTube video of the Hayfield Senior Slideshow in case you missed it: http://youtu.be/u_K8z0vfgiY Please feel free to share with those that couldn't attend;)
Prelude: Please note the remaining volunteer opportunity to close out this band season:
Jun 14 Graduation – We have some volunteers, but more are needed to serve lunch (Set up in Mr. K's room at 12 noon and serve lunch at 1:30 pm. I'm guessing clean up between 2:30 and 3:00 pm. If you can only stay for part of the time, that's fine, just come when you can. We're serving pizza, cookies and/or brownies, and drinks to 225 music dept students.)
If you can help with graduation lunch Jun 14, please send me an e-mail or just so up. Thank you in advance;)

Second, as I begin to transfer Band Booster responsibilities to the new President Patricia “Pat” Cloud, I’d ask for the following:
- Treat every kid as if they’re your own (not only taking care of your own child but sharing the responsibility for the well being of every student)
- Support the Band Director, Mr. Patrick Burke and Mr. Dan Helm
- Volunteer and see your student succeed and watch the Band Boosters shine
NOTE: If you’d like to be taken off the Band Booster e-mail list, please reply to me.
Finally, the Russell family has truly been blessed these past seven years. THANK YOU – two simple words that hold a lot of meaning and gratitude:
- Jonathan & Justin are better because of their band experiences
- Mr. Burke and Mr. Helm have been great teachers and mentors to our boys, helping instill hard work, discipline, teamwork, and leadership through the gift of music
- Your students (either in the same grade, higher, or lower as our kids) have helped them grow and have developed a common bond that will last a lifetime and some truly lasting friendships
- Fellow parents have donated money and time, but most importantly, given of themselves through volunteerism…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. HAWKS ROCK!
