Spirit Wear Order - Canceled

Good evening and Happy Thanksgiving!

As a follow up to the message about the spirit wear on sale this week, I’m sorry to report that we had to cancel all three of the shops (sweatpants, scarf, and duffle bag)  due to low sales.  If you placed an order, you will be refunded to the credit card you used to place your order. 

Thanks for your support! I hope you all have a great rest of your holiday weekend!

Band Update

Good evening, everyone - 

I apologize that it has been so long since I’ve been in touch.  I would just like to make a couple of announcements and then you can get back to your pie baking and turkey basting.

There will NOT be a band boosters meeting this Monday evening (which is probably the same day most of you will be reading this message).  We had previously scheduled a meeting for 11/20 at 7:00pm, but due to the Tri-M induction ceremony taking place, we have canceled the meeting.  We will most likely not meet again until January, but will keep everyone posted.

We have opened a holiday store to buy a few branded items for the holidays.  There is a nice quality, heavy duffle bag: https://www.customink.com/g/xzr0-00b8-959h, a fleece scarf: https://www.customink.com/g/xzr0-00b8-94xq, and sweatpants: https://www.customink.com/g/xzr0-00b8-93aj for sale, but only through this week.  The store closes at midnight on 11/24, so don’t wait to put in your orders.  Also, these items require a minimum sale, so if we are not able to meet the minimum, the orders will need to be canceled.  Please also see the boosters Facebook page for more info. (www.facebook.com/HayfieldBandBoosters)  Additionally, we will have spirit wear for sale at the concert on December 7.  Great for stocking stuffers!  

All young ladies should have either made sure that their concert dresses fit by now or placed an order for a dress with Mr. Burke.  If you have not done so, please see Mr. Burke ASAP.  Also, all young men should have tried on their tuxedo apparel by now and made sure it still fits or have made arrangements to purchase what is needed.  Only two and a half weeks until the concert, so please make sure all tailoring is done and ready to go by Thursday, December 7!

I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who helped during marching band season!  It was great meeting many of you for the first time.  Your help was sooo greatly appreciated!  Also, thank you to everyone who pitched in to help with the mattress sale at the beginning of the month.  I don’t yet have information about the totals from the sale, but we will definitely be able to report about it at the next booster meeting.  

I wish everyone the happiest Thanksgiving and look forward to seeing you all at the concert!

Cheers -

URGENT! Need at least 9 more parents to help with mattress sale tomorrow!

Ask not what your Marching Hawks can do for you, but what YOU can do for your Marching Hawks...

That's right, the Mattress Sale is this Saturday, 11/4! (Details in flyer attached.) This is a great way to bring home lots of bacon for the band program, but we CANNOT make this fundraiser a success without your help.

Therefore, we ask, plead, beg you to volunteer just 1 - 2 hours of your time to help manage the crowds. We need at least 9 more parents! As soon as possible, please sign up here---->https://www.signupgenius.com/index.cfm….

Mr. Burke has also asked the students to come out and go crazy, using their youth, enthusiasm, and energy to advertise curbside and draw in those crowds. So when you come on down to volunteer and check out the merchandise, don't leave your Hawk at home. Bring your Hawk with you--and hey, he or she may get the chance to dance around in th​

This week in Band

Good morning –

 

I hope you all enjoyed a nice, quiet weekend and didn’t get too “walloped” in the rain storm!  Here’s what’s going on in band this week:

 

·         We are NOT playing this Friday’s away game.  The Hawks are now in playoffs and we WILL play the first playoff game at home next Friday, November 10.  We will be playing this show in the new uniforms, so please come check them out!

·         Mattress Sale This Weekend – Saturday, 11/4!  This is a great sale that could potentially bring in lots of money for the band program.  Please consider volunteering for a 1-2 hour slot to help manage the crowds.  It’s up on the SignUp Genius.  Mr. Burke has also encouraged the kids to come out to help generate interest at the street level.  Please let them come out and burn some energy on Saturday.  From what I hear, someone might even be able to wear a mattress costume! ;)

·         Awards Banquet:  Please see the message from Ann Veiga that was sent out earlier today.  We would like for parents to bring a dish to share and a 2-Liter drink.  The Boosters will cover the rest (including dessert)!

 

I would like to give a big thank you to Tamara Stolpe, Lori Graziano, and Rachel Hamilton for unpacking the new uniforms and getting them organized, fitted, and ready to go for next Friday.  Your help is very much appreciated.  Thanks so much for taking time from your busy schedules to get this done!

 

I am off on vacation tomorrow and will miss seeing you all at the banquet next week.  If I were there, I would say, “Thank you all for your continued support!”  I know that we are constantly asking for your time, your muscles, your money, and your good cooking, but at the end of the day, this is for our kids and for their love of this wonderful band program.  We couldn’t do it without you!

 

Cheers to a great weekend!

Sunday Parade Cancelled!

Good evening, all - 

The headline that I just read from The Washington Post says, “Major coastal storm to wallop Mid-Atlantic and Northeast Sunday into Monday”.  WALLOP – fun word!  

Anyway, because of the impending walloping storm, the parade that was scheduled at the Hayfield Farm community on Sunday is cancelled.  The kids get a whole two days off this weekend.  Woohoo!

Everyone enjoy your weekends and try to stay dry!

P.S.  The. Uniforms. Have. Arrived!!!!

This Week in Band

Good afternoon, everyone –

 

I hope everyone is enjoying a great week so far!  Here are a few updates/announcement from your band boosters this week:

 

·         Concert Dress – It’s time to make sure your kids have concert attire as the first concert will be on December 7.  Please have your young ladies try on their dresses from last year to see if they still fit.  If not, they will need to be measured during class tomorrow and/or Friday to have a dress ordered for them.  Gentlemen must wear a tuxedo with a wing-tip pleated shirt and black tie and cummerbund.  A popular place to get tuxes for the guys is JC Penney.  Please don’t wait until the last minute in case pieces need to be tailored!

·         Away Game this Friday – Come out and support our team and band students at the away game in Annandale on Friday night.  Please see the SignUp Genius if you would like to chaperone or provide snacks/water.  Thank you!

·         Mattress Sale – The mattress sale is on for November 4.  I have attached the flyers and your kids should have brought home a packet explaining the event with extra flyers.  Please tell your friends and family to come out and support their Marching Hawks and get a comfy new mattress, sheets or pillow.  There are incentives for the kids who get referrals!

 

Have you “liked” our Facebook page?  If not, please stop by and Like us to get up-to-the-minute announcements, thoughts, and photos/videos of the kids in action.  https://www.facebook.com/HayfieldBandBoosters/

 

Thanks for all you do.  Have a great rest of the week!

Thanks to everyone who has donated snacks this season and for those who signed up to donate tomorrow.  Instead of snacks, though, we could really use cases of water.  We need enough to get through pizza dinner tomorrow, the game, and the assessments on Saturday.  If you are able to donate water, please sign up under snacks on the SignUp Genius for tomorrow’s game.

 

Thank you VERY much!

Good afternoon –

 

It’s a quiet-ish weekend on the marching band front, but we would love to see you on Saturday morning as the competition marching band performs the show for adjudicators to prepare for next weekend’s VBODA assessment.  We are treating this performance as if we were preparing to take the field during halftime at a football game, so parent volunteers will be appreciated to help us get the show on the field.  Here are the details:

 

Saturday, October 14

11:00am – Performance in the stadium for adjudicators.  Parents and guests are welcome to attend!

Homecoming Week!

Good afternoon –

 

Congratulations to our Marching Hawks for the great showing at the North Stafford competition last Saturday!  They have been working hard and it’s paying off.

 

Can you believe that it’s Homecoming already?  This year, the HSS Activities Dept. has approved our band to perform the show BEFORE the game!  Here’s the schedule for Friday:

 

3:00- students come down to band room, get ready for parade

4:00- head over to Hayfield Farm for parade

4:30- Parade

5:00- pizza and water dinner in band area, then dress for game

6:15- head outside

6:35- perform competition show, then head into stands (pit equipment can go back inside school)

7:00- choir sings star spangled banner

 

We could use volunteers to help with serving dinner promptly at 5:00 to give kids time to eat, get dressed and report to the field.  We also need water and would very much appreciate donations of the small bottles of water for the kids in the stands.  Please use the SignUp Genius so we know which volunteer slots need to be filled as we get closer to Friday.

 

Also…if you ordered spirit wear through the online store, your items will be available in the band room on Friday evening for pick up.  If you are not able to pick up your items on Friday, please let me know so that we can make arrangements for pick up.

 

Looking ahead…

·         10/14, 10:00am – 12:30pm – Performance/Exhibition to prepare for the VBODA assessment.  Parents/Guests are invited to watch the performance as well as help with uniforms and pit crew. J  It will be as if we are setting up for a football game, so your help is appreciated!  After the kids perform for the adjudicators, there will be a marching clinic for the band.

·         Spring Trip:  Forms were sent home for spring trip, but if the form didn’t make it from the band room to your hands, I have attached it to this message.  You can also get the info on the Hayfield Bands website: http://www.hayfieldbands.com/hs-spring-trip-2018.html.  Please note, the first deposit is due next week, October 13^th.

Weekend Successes

Good morning –

 

Hopefully, everyone (kids especially) have had a chance to sleep in today.  Our kids worked so hard this weekend, and we should all be very proud of them!

 

First of all, thank you to all of the parents who chaperoned and brought in snacks and water for Friday’s game. Another win for Hayfield!  (P.S.  At this rate, don’t make solid plans for mid-November.  I see a possible play-off scenario in our future…)

 

Second – Tag Day.  Thanks to everyone’s hard work, we were able to make an additional $4,827.16 on Tag Day #2, bringing our grand total to $14,231.16 for both days!  That’s amazing!  Thank you very much to our Tag Day Chair, Theresa Larsen, for coordinating the days and getting us all out into the neighborhoods armed with envelopes and orange receipts.  Big thanks to all of the parents who drove, organized, and counted money.  Thank you to Mr. Burke for coming in early both days – especially after teaching all week and Friday night games.  And most of all, thank you to the kids who sacrificed their Saturday mornings to go door-to-door explaining to strangers what this band program means to them.  Their enthusiasm astounds me, and I am so proud of them! 

 

And as if that wasn’t enough…our kids went to competition on Saturday evening and won SECOND PLACE in their class!  We got a big trophy and also scored “Best Percussion”! 

 

Looking ahead to next week –

·         Marching Band rehearsals Tuesday – Thursday, 3:15 – 5:15pm

·         Home Football Game – Friday, 9/22 – there is no school this day, so the band reports to at 5:15pm

·         Please Note:  The Band Booster meeting previously scheduled for tomorrow, 9/18, will now be an officers’ planning session.  Please join us for the next scheduled Booster meeting on October 16 at 7:00pm. 

 

Thank you all again for your time and support!

Tag Day #1 Recap and Next Saturday Schedule

Good evening - 

I wanted to send a HUGE thank you to all of the parents and kids who participated in Tag Day today.  Our total today was $9,404.49, beating last year’s total by over $1,000!  This is enough to pay off what we owe the school for the new uniforms and will put some money in the bank to use towards other band needs.  Again, this would not have happened without your help, so thank you!

As hard as we tried, we were not able to complete all of the neighborhoods today, so we will have to go out again next Saturday.  Next weekend is going to be packed with an away game on Friday and a competition on Saturday.  We will attempt to start Tag Day next Saturday at 9:00am (with kids arriving early to catch breakfast, change into uniforms, and grab their instruments).  We will end the Tag Day portion at 1:00pm unless we are done sooner, which is possible.  Our wonderful Mr. Burke has offered to buy the kids participating in Tag Day pizza before loading the bus to the competition!

Here is the schedule for the competition:

September 16, 2017, Wood Grove Invitational

2:00pm- report to Hayfield

2:45 pm- depart

4:30pm- arrive at Woodgrove HS

6:00pm Perform

7:45 awards

8:30 Depart

10:00pm return to Hayfield

We are still looking for a few drivers for Tag Day and for a couple more chaperones for the competition.  Please visit the SignUp Genius if you can sign up to help.  

Thanks again and enjoy your Sunday!

Tag Day is (almost) here!

Good evening, Band supporters –

 

There is no doubt about it - music is our life! And we need your help to keep the life in the Hayfield Band. Sign up now as a volunteer to drive our kids around the neighborhoods this Saturday, Sept. 9, for Tag Day, our biggest fundraiser of the year!

 

Don't miss out on the fun of shuttling around our band students who will be in full uniform, knocking on doors, and gleefully playing their instruments for money...uh, we mean, donations.

We need your help to make this fundraiser a success!

Hayfield Band Boosters Bylaws

Good Evening –

 

The Hayfield Band Boosters (acting) officers have been busy organizing for the new season.  Part of getting organized includes adopting bylaws for the organization.  Hayfield Band Boosters is a  501(c)(3) organization and as such, we must adopt bylaws to be in compliance with this distinction. 

 

I have attached bylaws that have been written by the current officers.  As a member of the Hayfield Band Booster organization, (if you have paid the membership fee), you will have an opportunity to vote to adopt and ratify these bylaws at our first band boosters meeting on Monday, August 21 at 7:00pm in the Band Room.  Please take a moment to read through the attached document and bring any questions, concerns, or edits to the meeting on Monday evening.  Also, at the meeting on Monday, we will vote on those who have volunteered to be officers to the Board of Directors.

 

I have also attached the Hayfield Band Boosters sign-up form.  If you haven’t already, please consider becoming a member of the boosters.  All proceeds of your membership fee and booster fundraising efforts go directly to supporting the Hayfield bands programs. 

 

Thank you very much for your time and attention.  We look forward to seeing you tomorrow evening at the potluck dinner (5:15pm in the Middle School Lecture Room) and again on Monday evening! 

 

Best regards –

Angie
