Our concert time is nearing and now would  be a good time to think about uniforms.

The boys are your responsibility.

With the girls, we will have our dress fitting  next week. The girls who were in Middle School advanced symphonic band  band last year, or any of the  high school bands already have this dress.

The girls new to the program, or needing a dress will need to bring in a check for $65 dress fee. Please make the check out to

the Hayfield Band Boosters.

If you cannot afford a dress, we have a few gently used dresses.

 

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Fundraising Opportunities - We Need Your Help!!!

Dear Marching Hawk Families,

With the support of Mr. Burke and the Band Booster Board, we are ready to kick our fundraising into high-gear! 

Here's what YOU can do:

-Print out the Sponsorship Request Form, attached, and share it with your employer. Does your Employer have a matching gift program? Many companies offer matching gift programs to encourage employees to contribute to charitable organizations. Most of these programs match contributions dollar for dollar, and some will even double or triple the amount of your gift! 

-Consider the businesses you frequent. Take a copy of the Sponsorship Request on your next visit and just ask!

-Share the Razoo Crowdfunding link on ALL your social media accounts: https://www.razoo.com/us/story/Marchinghawks

The more exposure we get, the more likely we are to reach our goal!

 Remember, though donations do not directly fund your child's uniform costs, gifts may be made in sponsorship of your child - benefits of Sponsorship are listed on the request form, attached.

Please reach out to your Band Booster Board with any questions, concerns, and successes! We are all in this together, with a common goal, in support of our Marching Hawks!

Warm Regards,

Trina Estrada-Good
