We will be playing Stuart on Friday Night at Hayfield. The students will practice after school, have a pizza dinner at 5:00 p.m. and then change into their uniforms for the game. We still need donations of snacks and water as well as help in serving the pizza, distributing uniforms before and after the game, and moving the equipment to the field. Please go to Signup Genius http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0D49AEAD23A02-hssband2 and let us know where you will help.
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 by Friday of this week.
Other Notes
Volunteers Needed. The Band Boosters run on volunteer power. There are many needs throughout the year, particularly during football season. Distributing uniforms, helping with pizza dinners, moving equipment, donating water and snacks, etc. are a few of the many needs. Please pitch in so that we spread the workload. Plus, your kids will get a kick out of seeing Mom and Dad!
We use Signup Genius to organize volunteers. If you haven't volunteered this season, I encourage you to go to our Signup Genius site http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0D49AEAD23A02-hssband2 and let us know where you will help.
Spirit Wear. We have received several requests for another Spirit Wear order. We will accept orders through 18 October. The selection is unchanged. I am attaching two files that contain the items available for order and the order form. If you plan to buy Spirit Wear, please complete the order form and place it, along with full payment, in the Band Booster box. The Band Booster box is located in the Band Room on the wall in front Mr. Burke's office.
Send photos. I am collecting band photos for a slide show that will be shown at the Marching Band Awards Dinner in November. If you take photos during the games, please share them with us. Please send them to Hawkbandbooster@aol.com.
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 #2 is due by November 1. The remaining payment schedule follows: 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.
E-mail. If you know someone who should be getting our e-mails, please ask them to send me a note to Hawkbandbooster@aol.com. Likewise, if you do not wish to receive our e-mails, please send me a note.
Become a Band Patron. You can support the band program with a Band Booster membership. Annual membership is $10 per person or $20 per family. For a donation of $30 or more, you will be designated a patron and recognized on the concert programs. Your contributions help to defray the costs of music, uniforms and instruments. All donations are tax deductible. The form is available on the band web site http://hayfieldbands.com/id72.html. If you are interested, please place your completed form and your contribution in the Band Booster box that is located in the Band Room.
HAWKS ROCK!
