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 13th.
Thank you all for your time and support! Hope to see you on Friday!
