This Week's News
- April General Band Booster Meeting Postponed. The general band booster meeting for April will be postponed. The only thing up for general board approval is the new Booster Board, but there are still vacant positions.
Band statements will be mailed Saturday, April 3.
- Revised Calendar Available. The calendar for the remainder of the school year has been revised and was sent home earlier this week. You can also find it on the band's website here. The most noticeable change: Solo & Ensemble was moved from April 10 to April 24.
- Band Banquet MOVED to May 2. The 2009/2010 Band Banquet has been set for Sunday May 2nd from 1pm to 3pm. This is a change from the Saturday night banquet that we had planned. Because of situations beyond our control we were left with this date. We will have a luncheon instead. Tickets will be ?sold' to ensure participation. The ticket price will be set at $10.00 per person which will be returned to you on that day or you may request to have the money placed on your band account. The tickets may be purchased from Ms. Reeder at Hillwood and please limit the number of tickets to 4 per family.
Ticket price for non competitive members will be $15 per person.
- Last Band Fees Payment DUE March 31. Don't forget to make your final payment 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.
