This Week's News
- FRIENDLY REMINDER: Anytime band members are in uniform representing the school, ladies should refrain from wearing makeup. The only ladies allowed to wear makeup are those in the Color Guard. Gentlemen should be clean-shaven. All jewelry is also prohibited. DO NOT WEAR LONG-SLEEVED UNDER ARMOR SHIRTS UNLESS THERE IS AN ANNOUNCED CHANGE IN UNIFORM. Thanks!
- Football Game vs. Antioch Friday. Call time is 3:30 PM dressed in Field Uniform ready for a brief rehearsal. NO inspection. No hospitality. Make sure you band member has something to eat before call time or has money for the 3rd quarter break.
- Competition at Overton Saturday, Oct 3. The gig sheet is attached; abbreviated information is below.
This contest is a prelims/finals format. This means that there is a slight chance (5%) that the band would be selected to perform again in the evening show. However statistically speaking because they only take the 10 highest scoring bands into finals this means because we are the 3rd band of the day that our chances would be mathematically impossible for us to land a spot in the night show. If for some reason however we were to get a spot we would make the necessary arrangements to stay and perform. Student would be asked to notify family immediately in such a case.
- Next Band "Fair Share" Payment Due Oct 15. Don't forget to make your next installment payable to the Hillwood Band Boosters. You may drop your payment off in the lock box in the band room (please place payment in a sealed envelope with name) or mail the payment to the post office box (P.O. Box 58405, Nashville, TN 37205).
If you would like to use PayPal to make your payment, please pay $103.30 to get $100 credited to your account. (Remember PayPal charges 2.9 % plus $0.30 per transaction.)
- 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.
