Hayfield Band Boosters (Message 15)--Band Booster Meeting & Homecoming This Week

Greetings Boosters,
 
Congratulations to the Marching Band for a 3rd place finish in the Level II Open category Saturday at the Herndon Invitational Marching Competition!  This is the first of 3 competitions that the band will participate in this fall.   Thanks to all of the volunteers who stepped up to make the band's trip to the competition successful. 
 
Dawni Kissler, Yvette Schuler and Eva Romero for help with uniforms
Leslie Bell, Eva Romero, and Bryce Wolfe for chaperoning and pitching in when/where needed.
Russell and Michelle Booth for driving the vans
Paul Loyola, Russell and Michelle Booth, Andre Copeland, Rogerio Silverio, John Hishta, and several Hayfield Band alums for being an awesome Pit Crew
 
Concert Uniforms.  Thanks to Michelle Haskel for measuring our girls for concert dresses.  If your daughter did not get measured last week, please let me know by Wednesday, October 3, so that we can arrange for the measurements to be taken.  We will order the dresses in one shipment.  Dresses must be ordered within the next week in order to ensure arrival before the first concert in December.   
Reminder:   Boys require a black tuxedo with black cummerbund, white shirt, and bowtie. You can get them at JC Penny's, The Men's Wearhouse, or online. We have received feedback that the Formal Fashions Inc website www.formalfashionsinc.com has been used successfully. This site offers a $92.50 package that includes the tuxedo, shirt, cummerbund and bowtie (select Value Packages under the menswear tab).

 
Planning Notes
The Band Boosters will meet on October, 7:00 p.m. in the Band Room.  The Agenda for the meeting follows.  If you have an item that you would like to have added to the agenda, please send me a note by Tuesday.  It will be a short meeting and we look forward to seeing all of you there.

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. We will collecting membership forms at the Booster meeting Wednesday night.
 
We will celebrate Homecoming at Friday night's game against Wakefield. The Marching Band will participate in Homecoming Parade at Hayfield Farm then return to the school for a Pizza Party before the game.
 
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. Please send copies to HawKBandBooster@verizon.netor call me to get the details on how to upload them directly to the Band's Shutterfly account.
 
Volunteers
The Band Booster program is fueled by volunteerism. Thanks to all of you who have already signed up for the various fall activities.  We could not provide the support without your help.  However, there are still a few vacancies:
 
Pizza Party.  Need additional volunteers to help setup for the party and clean up afterward.
 
Football Game.  Need additional equipment helpers for the Pit Crew.
 
Restaurant Nights. If you are interested in organizing a restaurant night, please send me a note. In the past, we have worked with area restaurants to designate a night where a portion of the sales generated by the Hayfield community are given to the Band Boosters. You will be responsible for negotiating the details with the restaurant.
