Boosters,
The band is headed to UVA for a clinic on February 7. We need at least 2 chaperones to accompany the band. If you can help, please sign up at our Signup Genius site http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0D49AEAD23A02-hssband2 . Please sign up as soon as possible so that we ensure that we have all the support needs covered.
Other Notes
Reminder: It's All District Weekend. Hayfield is hosting All District Weekend, January 30 - February 1. The Band Boosters are manning a hospitality suite for the Directors & providing concessions for the student participants on January 31 and February 1. If you are interested in volunteering for the event, there are still opportunities available.
Transition Planning. We are looking for volunteers for the Band Booster Treasurer position. Ken Lichtman has graciously served for two years; his daughter will graduate this spring. If you are willing to shadow Ken through June and to assume this role, please send me a note. Likewise, John and I will have Seniors for the 2014-2015 school year. I would like to identify volunteers to shadow us so that we can begin the transition during the Summer of 2014--you will assume the President/Vice President roles for 2015-16 school year. If you have questions or would like to discuss the requirements of any of the positions, please send a note or call.
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 #4 is due February 7; 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).
