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!

We need water!

Hello, again –

 

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!

Angie

Saturday Performance and Booster Meeting Change

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

10:00am – Band reports to the band room to dress; pit crew to take instruments to the field

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

After performance – 12:30pm – Clinic on marching to prepare for VBODA assessment

 

If you haven’t seen the show yet, please come out and see the hard work your kids have put into the marching band season!

 

NOTE:  Due to the College Night activities on Monday, October 16^th, the Band Booster meeting will be rescheduled to Monday, October 23^rd at 7:00pm in the band room.  Hope to see you all there!

 

Thank you all for your time and support!

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. 

 

Thank you all for your time and support!  Hope to see you on Friday!
