Dear HHS Band Parents and Students, I hope you are enjoying your last few days of summer vacation, and that you’ve found some time to practice and reinforce all that we worked on during Band Camp!

Hello Band Students and Parents!   URGENT:  If you have not confirmed to anyone (band council members or myself) either through phone or email that you will be attending camp, please be sure to do so right away.  If you did not receive a phone call from a Band Council student today it means I do not have a current telephone number for you.  If you did not speak with a band council officer because of not receiving a phone call or just receiving a voicemail message, please email me as soon as possible.  I am in the process of finishing writing our first halftime show that we will learn at band camp and need an accurate head count in order to make sure… Read More »Band Camp Details

Hi Everyone Well, this unexpected Snow Day has created some problems for our concert tomorrow.  When school is canceled all activities for the day must be canceled as well.  That means tonight’s concert dress rehearsals must be canceled.  This decision is out of my control. After consulting with school officials, student band council officers, coaches/advisors, Mrs. Ritenburgh (middle school concert is Thursday) and many more I have decided to move tomorrow’s concert to next Tuesday, March 14 at 7:30pm.  We will also reschedule today’s canceled dress rehearsals for tomorrow, March 8, from 4 to 6pm for Symphonic Band and 6 to 8pm for Wind Ensemble. These dress rehearsals are crucial to the success of our concert, since this is the… Read More »SPRING CONCERT AND REHEARSALS RESCHEDULED
