Senior Night - Home Playoff game November 9th

Hello Band Family!


This email is to inform everyone of the plan for tomorrow night.


The entire band will stay after and have a pizza dinner tomorrow.  We will treat this like any other home game.  We are still asking for pizza servers and any parent support (pit crew) to come tomorrow night in case the weather clears!


The Marching Seniors decided to have their announcement BEFORE the game. All escorts should be inside the stadium no later than 6:30.  If it stops raining, the rest of the band will be out there with them. If it is still raining, Seniors will  be announced but we may disband the group shortly thereafter (if the group disbands, students may go home or stay for the game on their own).  Please bring large umbrellas just in case!!!  (Senior Night tomorrow is for those in the competition band.  The concert band has their Senior Night that acknowledges ALL Seniors in band during the last concert of the year.)


Thank you again to all the parents who constantly come help with uniforms, serving dinners, moving equipment, chaperoning, driving the trucks, donating snacks and water, and those that hold props down in high winds during competitions/games!!  It takes many, many hands!  This has been a wonderful season, despite all of the weather challenges!  Thank you!  We still have LOTS of band events happening during the rest of the school year!  Stay tuned and please know that we need YOU!!

Senior Night - Change in Plan

Hello Band Family!

Unfortunately, due to heavy rain in the forecast this evening, the band will not be able to attend the game.  There is an anticipated home playoff game next Friday, November 9th and we hope to honor and celebrate our Seniors then.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused, but mother nature has not been a friend of the band this football season.  We will surely find a way to acknowledge and celebrate the accomplishments of our Seniors!!  Stay tuned!!!

Thank you so much for your support!

This Week in Band - October 21-27, 2018

Hello, Band Family!

Thank you to all the parents/volunteers who assisted the band this weekend at their VBODA Assessment. We had many come help with uniforms, chaperoning, moving equipment, loading/unloading the truck, driving the truck, and even holding down props in the middle of the show because of high winds!!  Your help is always greatly appreciated (not to mention desperately needed!)!! 

Congratulations to our Marching Hawks on an awesome showing!!  They received an "EXCELLENT" rating!!! Thank you for a fun and amazing season!!!

We have several events this week!  Please join us for a Booster Meeting on Tuesday, October 23rd at 7:00 p.m. in the band room!!  We will discuss upcoming events, band needs, and fundraising opportunities.  One idea we are considering is a Band Yearbook of sorts.  If you would please take the following questionnaire so that we can gauge interest, it would be greatly appreciated.  https://goo.gl/forms/WHOajM1jToUqtax53  

We have a home football game on Friday, October 26th.  We will need help with everything!!  Dinner, uniforms, equipment, props.  You can volunteer here:  https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e0b4baca92ea1ff2-2018

Band Tag Day #2 - SEPTEMBER 29th

Good Morning, Band Family!!

We have rescheduled tag day #2 for Saturday, September 29th!  We need drivers!

As you know, the weather has not been kind at all this summer, and we had to cancel our original date because of Florence, but it's supposed to be beautiful weather on Saturday!!

If you can drive, please sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e0b4baca92ea1ff2-2018
Students are signing up in the band room.

Another bonus for your student signing up for tag day is it helps defer the cost of their Spring Trip.  In case you didn't know, the band is traveling to Universal Studios Orlando in March!!  Your student earns credits for participating in tag day, $50 for 1 day, $25 for the 2nd day, for a total of up to $75 off the cost of their spring trip.

Please consider driving on Saturday.  This is our largest fundraiser of the year!  Your help is needed and greatly appreciated!!

Thank you so much!!
