- Football Game vs. Cane Ridge is Thursday; also Senior Night. This week's football game is currently scheduled for Thursday evening. Senior parents need to be at the school no later 6:00 PM to participate in the festivities. Continuing with tradition, we will have a small reception during 3rd Quarter for our seniors. We hope to see you there!
THERE IS TALK OF A DATE CHANGE FOR THE FOOTBALL GAME. PLEASE CHECK YOUR EMAIL FOR ANY CHANGES.
- 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.)
- Fall Break Rehearsal Reminder. The band will be rehearsing Thursday (10/22) and Friday (10/23) of Fall Break, culminating in their last competition Saturday, 10/24. We hope our band families will be able to enjoy a much needed break and come back ready for one last push for a great competition.
Because the Thursday rehearsal will be rather long (1PM - 9PM), the Band Boosters will be providing a spaghetti dinner for the band at a cost of $2 per band member. The $2 needs to be placed in a sealed envelope with the band members name on it and turned in to the locked box in the rehearsal hall no later than Thursday, October 15.
- Volunteer Badges Missing. Please remember to turn in volunteer badges as quickly as possible after an event. We already have FOUR missing and we need each one we have. THANKS!
- 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.

Additional Comments
From Philip Perry (Colin's Dad) letting everyone know about a bit of fun:
Saturday Oct. 17, the band has been has been offered a great discount at the new "Haunted Nashville" which is three haunts under one roof! If we can all get together and go as one group of 30 or more, they will give us $5.00 off of the triple pass, which would be $18.00 total for all three! Those of you who know, one haunt is generally $12.00, so this is a great deal. Instead of the usual eat and skating, I thought this would be fun for all including PARENTS. I would like for everyone to meet around 6pm at Cancun in Bellevue or next door at The Snappy Tomato or if you're not eating just in the parking lot by 7:30pm and leave from there. Also, sadly, Thunderbird Castle will not open this year, instead on Saturday Oct. 31, the Skate center and I are having a costume contest with a $200.00 first prize! Doors open at 7pm. Parents are welcome as well. Hope to see everyone there.
Thanks-
FLIP
