Hayfield Band Boosters (Message 1)--Marching Band Rehearsals Start 19 August

Greetings Boosters,
 
I am Pat Cloud, Band Booster President for the 2013-14 school year.  Can you believe that summer break is almost over?  Back to school planning has begun and we are looking forward to an exciting Band Year! 
 
I wanted to pass on a message to the students from Mr. Burke about the upcoming Marching Band rehearsals.
 

Hayfield Band Musicians,

 

Hope you are having a great summer. Marching band is right around the corner, so pull out that instrument and make sure it's ready to go. We begin MONDAY NIGHT, AUGUST 19that 5 p.m.

 

Come on time so we can get right to it.  Don't forget your marching shoes or a good pair of sneakers because marching isn't fun in flip flops or sandals.

 

Email me if you have any questions and concerns.

 

Looking forward to seeing you soon!

-Mr. Burke

-Mr. Helm

 
Reminder:  The students will be meeting evenings from 5 p.m. - 8 p.m. from August 19 - August 29.  Please check the Bulletins at the Hayfield Bands Website http://hayfieldbands.com/id2.html  periodically for updates.  Questions can be directed to Mr. Burke at  pburke@fcps.edu.
 
Please let me know if you would like to be removed from the Booster e-mail list.  I've attempted to remove last year's Seniors from the list but I'm certain I missed a few.
 
 I will be contacting you soon with more information about the upcoming Marching Band Season.  In the interim, please feel free to contact me if you would like to volunteer for booster activities this year.
 
HAWKS ROCK!

Graduation will be held on Thursday, June 13.  The Band, Choir and Orchestra underclassmen will perform during Graduation.  Students have a half day of school, then a rehearsal for graduation, followed by lunch and the graduation ceremony.  Graduation beginsat 4:30pm.
The Boosters will provide lunch for the students.  I need volunteers to help with lunch service for the 250 students that will perform at Graduation.

Hayfield Band Boosters (Message 50)--Awards Pot Luck and Graduation

Greetings Boosters,
 
It is hard to believe that the year is almost over.  We have a couple of activities left this month.  Please continue to provide the same outstanding support that you have provided all year to close out the school year.
 
On Tuesday, June 11, the Music Department will sponsor its annual Awards Pot Luck Dinner in the Middle School Cafeteria, 6:00 p.m.  The department requests the following donations from each family based on the your last name. 
 

A-E         Drinks (plan to bring 2 or more 2-liter bottles)
F-O         Main Dish

P-Z         Side Dish

 
Dessert will be provided.  Please consider bringing serving utensils if your dish requires it.   Also, ensure your name is on any dish that you would like returned at the conclusion of the dinner.  We will need 6 volunteers to help with setup/serving/cleanup for the Dinner.  Please go to Signup Genius and let us know if you can help.
 
Graduation will be held on Thursday, June 13.  The Band, Choir and Orchestra underclassmen will perform during Graduation.  Students have a half day of school, then a rehearsal for graduation, followed by lunch and the graduation ceremony.  Graduation beginsat 4:30pm.
The Boosters will provide lunch for the students.  I need volunteers to help with lunch service for the 250 studentsthat will perform at Graduation.  Parents of underclassmen, please volunteer for this assignment since the parents of seniors will be consumed with graduation activities.  Please go to Signup Genius to let me know where you will help. 
  
If you missed our last Booster Meeting, we recognized  Dottie Andrews and Jessica Tyeryarfor their service as Booster Vice President and Secretary, respectively.  I will be returning as your President for the 2013-14 school year and Ken Lichtman will continue serving as Treasurer.  We are still searching for Boosters to serve as Vice President, Secretary and committee chairs for next year.  No position will take a lot of your time but the impact of your volunteer time will be immeasurable for the band program.  Please consider accepting one of these positions.  Send me a note to let me know that you are interested.

CORRECTION TO DATES: Hayfield Band Boosters (Message 47)--Year end Booster Meeting, 16 May

Date for Band Booster meeting corrected.

Greetings Boosters,
 
We are nearing the end of the school year and I wanted to update you on some of the remaining activities for the year.
 
We will have our final Booster Meeting of the 2012-2013 school year on May 16, 7 p.m., in the Band Room.   This will be an opportunity to close out the current year and accomplish advance planning for the 2013-2014 year.  
 
We are looking for volunteers to fill 2 Booster offices next year--Vice President and Secretary.   Dottie Andrewshas served the Hayfield Bands for many years.  Last year she graciously agreed to be our Vice President even though her daughter graduated in 2012.  Jessica has been our Secretary for two years but her daughter will be graduating this year.  Both Dottie and Jessica have provided exceptional support this year and they will be missed.  We need your help to fill the void.  These offices will only take a small amount of your time (primarily in the Fall) but your efforts will provide immeasurable benefit to the Band Program.
 
The Marching Band will grow significantly next year. During the meeting, Mr. Burke will review the plans for next year's Pep Band.    All Symphonicand Wind Ensemble students will be part of the Pep Band.  Information about the Pep Band can be found on the Hayfield Bands website but I'm providing a synopsis here.
 
This will be a requirement to fulfill the marching component of each class. It has a very limited outside-of-school component, so those with other school activities, such as sports, dance and academic clubs can participate fully in both. Starting next fall, The Pep Band will rehearse during the school day during regular class time. There will be five required Friday after school rehearsals before home football games. The Pep Band will play at home football games and perform a simple and exciting half-time show. Two local parades will be included, and participation in a fund raising event will bring the performances to about 8 total in the fall. A small fee will be included to pay for marching equipment, uniform gloves and cleaning.
 
Over the next week, I will add signups to support the band on Graduation Day.  We will need volunteers to help with lunch (setup, food distribution and cleanup) for the students that will perform at Graduation.  I will send out an e-mail when the slots are available on Signup Genius.
 
Also, the Tri-M Pot Luck Awards Dinner is scheduled for 10 June.   We will send out assignments for entrees, side dishes, and desserts closer to the event.
 
I look forward to seeing you Thursday night.

16 May, Band Booster Meeting, 7 p.m., Band Room
