Weekly News UPDATE

This Week's News
  • Thomas Tours will NOT be on campus Saturday afternoon.  Look for information in the coming emails. They are tentatively scheduled to be at our August 11 Booster Meeting.
  • Students Supply List Set. Students need to have several supplies with them EVERY TIME they come to rehearsal. Aside from being dressed in their rehearsal uniforms, they need to have string, mechanical pencils, sheet protectors (for music and drill), and "permanent" water bottles.
  • Mid-State Music Handed Out.  All band members who play an instrument were given their Mid-State music. Please make sure your student keeps up with their music and practices at home. This music will be used not only for Mid-State auditions in December, but also for wind ensemble auditions. It's never too early to start learning your music!
  • Band Camp July 27 - August 1. Band camp will begin at 10:00 AM Monday morning and conclude with a performance Saturday at 4:00 PM.  
  • Fundraising Opportunities - Smart Cards and City Books. Please address all questions regarding fundraising to Andi DeJarnette at adegarnette@hotmail.com or call 646-0931.
  • Now Accepted: Visa, Mastercard, Discover, AMEX, and PayPal. Band fees can now be paid by using a variety of methods through PayPal. Don't forget donations! We have a place for that now, too. Visit the HHS Band website at http://www.hillwoodband.com/ to see (and use) them.
  • Fundraising Opportunities:
    • Smart Cards (August)
    • City Book discount coupons (August)

Greetings Parents!
 
We're still finalizing the calendar, so don't forget to check the "hold the dates" sheet we mailed/sent home with the students.  Times for rehearsals and sectionals are still being set, but will begin the week of August 18.
 
So, I guess you'd like to see the pictures? Well, I updated the links on the website under "Booster Blog." I'm also including them here in case you missed them. They are in an unlisted on Picasa.
 
 
Dinner is being organized by sections this week.
Friday (hotdogs, chips, fruit) Color Guard
Saturday NO DINNER
(We also have a few leftovers for those who would prefer something different, not to mention PBJ.)
 
The kids are sounding VERY good, you should be very proud of the hard work they've put in this week - it's paying off. If you come to pick up your student early, you'll be able to catch part of the sound. Our end-of-week show is still on schedule to be performed at 4:00 PM. We hope to see you there!
 
Have a good evening and hope to see you around soon!
