Dear HHS Band Parents and Students, I’m excited to announce a new and exciting fundraiser our HHS Music Booster Club is sponsoring.  The proceeds from the fundraiser will go to support the music program, as well as those of you who wish to fundraise part or all of your travel costs toward this year’s Spring Performance Tour to Honolulu, Hawaii! This year, we will be printing up FULL COLOR PROGRAMS for all of our band concerts.  In addition to listing the pieces to be performed at the concert, the programs will feature information on the band ranging from current band members to past awards, and be laid out similar to the wonderful programs put out by many of our school’s sports teams… Read More »ADVERTISEMENTS AND DONATIONS NEEDED FOR UPCOMING SCHOOL YEAR

Dear HHS Band Parents and Students, One of the highlights of participating in band here at Hockinson High School is the opportunity to choose to travel with the band every two years to an exciting destination.  Over the years, the band has traveled so such destinations as Disneyland/Southern California (twice), Washington D.C., and even Beijing, China!  The Music Boosters and I believe these Performance Tours provide our band students both an enjoyable travel experience with their extended “band family”, and also a great music learning opportunity through the performance and clinic opportunities.  Plus – they’re always fun!
