Greetings Boosters,
Friday night was another great night for football. The band's half time show was fantastic with the God Bless the USA finale being a real crowd pleaser. Thanks to the many Boosters that helped support the band Friday night:
Pizza Dinner. Thanks to Kristy Baik, Linda Lichtman and Kristy Moon for helping with setup, serving and teardown. Also, thanks to the parents who donated baked goods for the pizza dinner. It was a pleasant surprise and the students enjoyed the treats.Uniforms. Thanks to Yvette Sutton, Julie Do, Eva Romero, and Veronica Quezada for helping to create calm out of the chaos in the uniform room. They were able to distribute and store uniforms in record time. Thanks to Kelley John for handling plume distribution.Snacks and Water: Many thanks to Michelle Paxton, Ellen Hishta, Carol Citron, Eva Romero, Nancy Harris, Kelley John, Mark Dalton, and Nava Ezra for your generous water and snack donations. You ensured that we had more than enough food and drink for the students and we truly appreciate your generosity.Pit Crew. Thanks to John Hishta, Simon and Kelley John, Obaid Tawakul, Mark Dalton, Michelle Paxton, Patrick Cloud, Melvin Cloud, Rafael Quezada and Julie Do for getting the equipment out to the stadium, supporting half time and returning the equipment to the band room.

Other Notes
Spring Trip. The Spring Trip is planned for May 1-3. This year the band will be traveling to New York, New York. The purpose of the trip is to perform and participate in an informal workshop with highly skilled clinicians at a leading national university. The trip includes bus transportation, two nights lodging, clinicians' honoraria, two breakfasts, one lunch, three dinners, a ticket to a major Broadway performance, and admission to New York attractions. Students will need to bring money for one breakfast, two lunches, and leisurely shopping. The cost is $600 and will be divided into 5 payments of $120.00. Payment 1 is due by October 4. The remaining payment schedule follows: Payment #2 is due by November 1; Payment 3 is due by January 10; Payment 4 is due by February 7; and Payment 5 is due by March 7.
Checks should be made payable to Hayfield Secondary School. Payment 5 may be adjusted using any credit in a student's fundraising account (from Tag Day participation or fruit sales). There are also chaperone opportunities for the trip. Chaperone costs are the same as the student cost; payments are due on the same schedule.
Fruit Sale. The Fruit Sale is coming! Our second fundraiser of the year will begin mid-October. The students sell oranges and grapefruit from Florida's Indian River Groves for $20.00 per box from October 15-November 1. A portion of each sale is credited to the student's fundraising account. Additional information will be coming home with your student.soon.
