Hayfield Band Boosters (Message 28)--Update on Band Events

Greetings Boosters,

 

I hope that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday. 

 

We concluded our Fruit Sale earlier this month.  We sold over 300 boxes of fruit during the sale.  Many thanks to our Fruit Sale Chairperson, Linda Lichtman, for organizing this outstanding fundraiser.   The band will receive approximately $5 for every box sold.  Thanks for supporting the kids!

 

The new Marching Band jackets arrived!  Regrettably, they arrived too late to be used this season but we will be ready to go next marching season.  In January, we will begin unpacking the new uniforms as well as cataloguing them to streamline jacket assignment to returning band members. 

 

The pace has slowed as we have transitioned to concert season.   However, there are a few near-term events that I would like to highlight.

 

Planning notes

 

Fruit Pickup, 4 December.    We need volunteers to help with fruit delivery on December 4.  The fruit will be delivered sometime during the day.  Our Chairperson will have a better idea about the times that volunteers are needed after the truck is loaded with our shipment.  So if you have some flexibility in your schedule please go to Signup Genius and let us know that you can help.   This is also an excellent opportunity for the students to contribute so please encourage them to help also.  

 

Concert, 13 December.  The first concert of the season will begin at 7 p.m. in the Hayfield auditorium.

 

Tiny Tots Concert,  December 14.  The Tiny Tots Concert will be held in Hayfield auditorium at 9:30 a.m.  The Band will present costumed characters and play holiday music to an enthusiastic audience of elementary school students. We need your help to execute this Hayfield tradition.  We have the following volunteer needs:  Costume Helpers, On Stage Helpers, Front Row Helpers, Back of Auditorium Helpers.  If you have a couple of hours available on the 14th, please go to Signup Genius and let us know where you will help.

 

Spring Trip, April 17-21.  The trip includes lodging, bus transportation, adjudication and performance fees, 2 breakfasts, 2 dinners, a 3-day park-hopper pass to Walt Disney World Parks, dining coupons for the parks and a dinner show experience.  Students will need to bring money for 1 dinner, 2 breakfasts, 4 lunches and money for shopping.  The cost is $680 dollars, payable in 5 payments of $136.  The third payment will be due January 4 with additional payments due February 1, and March 1.  Checks should be payable to Hayfield Secondary School.  Note:  the cost of each student's trip will be adjusted with any fundraising credits that he/she accrues in his/her Booster organization account.

 

Spring Trip Chaperones.  Chaperones are needed for the trip to Orlando.  If you are interested in accompanying the students, please let Mr. Burke know as soon as possible.

Planning notes
Marching Band Awards Dinner. We still need volunteers for setup and cleanup at the Awards Dinner, November 7.

Fruit Sale: We've extended the fruit sale until November 14!  Fruit sales have not reached the levels that we had hoped for. In this final week, please encourage your student to reach out to neighbors, friends and family to give them the opportunity to buy delicious Florida-grown fruit. Linda Lichtman has prepared a flyer with the new end date. Please consider making a few copies of the flyer and distributing it throughout your neighborhood, at other school activities, and community events. We plan to distribute the flyers at the upcoming Touching Base event on 12 November. Let us know if you're willing to do the same.

Navel oranges and red grapefruit are offered for $18.00 for a box of 16-18 navel oranges or 8-10 red grapefruit. Mixed boxes of 6-8 oranges and 5 grapefruit are available for $20.00. Fruit will be delivered in early December.

Ordering online offers two delivery options--delivery to Hayfield or delivery directly to a home address. The price when delivering to Hayfield will be the same as quoted above. The price per box when delivered to a different location will be $35.00 per box.  I've used this option several times and it couldn't be simpler to accomplish.

The trip includes lodging, bus transportation, adjudication and performance fees, 2 breakfasts, 2 dinners, a 3-day park-hopper pass to Walt Disney World Parks, dining coupons for the parks and a dinner show experience.

Hayfield Band Boosters (Message 24)--Final Home Football Game, November 2; Senior Recognition

Greetings Boosters,

 

I hope you are weathering the storm.  Please stay safe. 

 

Our final home football game is scheduled for Friday night.   Please come out and support the Hayfield Hawks.

 

Planning notes

Marching Band Awards Dinner.  We still need volunteers for setup and cleanup at the Awards Dinner, November 7.  The dinner will be a pot luck and you will be asked to contribute a dish.  I will send out a follow-up e-mail that assigns dishes by the first letter of your last name.

   

Fruit Sale:  Only one week remains to sell more fruit!  Fruit sales have not reached the levels that we had hoped for.  In this final week, please encourage your student to reach out to neighbors, friends and family to give them the opportunity to buy delicious Florida-grown fruit.  Lindahas prepared another flyer that  can be distributed throughout your neighborhood and at other school activities.  I've attached it to this e-mail.

 

Navel oranges and red grapefruit are offered for $18.00 for a box of 16-18 navel oranges or 8-10 red grapefruit. Mixed boxes of 6-8 oranges and 5 grapefruit are available for $20.00. Fruit will be delivered in early December.  Students will earn money in the form of credits toward their spring trip account for each box of fruit sold. The more they sell, the less the trip will cost.

Senior Boutonnieres.   Kristy Baik will lead a team in making the boutonnieres for our recognition of our Senior Marching Hawks.  I am looking for 1 additional volunteer with a Freshman or Sophomore student to help in this effort.  It is important that we are able to keep the tradition going by always having Boosters familiar with the process.  Please go to Signup Genius and let us know if you can help.
 

Spring Trip.  The Spring trip is scheduled for April 17-21.  The trip includes lodging, bus transportation, adjudication and performance fees, 2 breakfasts, 2 dinners, a 3-day park-hopper pass to Walt Disney World Parks, dining coupons for the parks and a dinner show experience.  Students will need to bring money for 1 dinner, 2 breakfasts, 4 lunches and money for shopping.  The cost is $680 dollars, payable in 5 payments of $136.  The second payment is due November 15 with additional payments due January 4, February 1, and March 1.  Checks should be payable to Hayfield Secondary School.  Note:  the cost of each student's trip will be adjusted with any fundraising credits that he/she accrues in his/her Booster organization account. 

 

Pictures and Videos.  I'm still looking for pictures and videos.  Thanks to those who have provided pictures of the band.  We still need more.  If you have taken pictures and recorded videos of the band throughout the season, please share them with us. We would like to show some of them at the Band Awards Dinner in November.
