HORIZON BANDS

We are coming to the end of this school year and just about to start up the new marching season, so there is a lot about to happen.

This week we have the final band concert of the year on Thursday at 6:30pm. We will be holding our annual silent auction basket fundraiser to help kick off the marching season, so please come show your support and bid on some fun baskets! Come early to check out and bid on the baskets and take a look at the senior boards (senior parents feel free to decorate a tri fold board full of your seniors best and cutest school moments, we will have tables out to display them).

Graduation is Wednesday May 14th at 7pm. The band does play at graduation and details of the day will be sent out by Mr. Dailey.

We are in need of 3 more parent volunteers to chaperone the band to the Graduation ceremony.Wednesday May 14th – Call Time is 4p.

The expectation is that the chaperones ride on the buses with the band, to Boulder and back to the school (2 chaperones per bus) and sit in the stands behind the band.  Clear Bag Policy applies to this event. Please respond to this email if you are able to chaperone.

We will be kicking of marching season on Thursday May 22. All the students (including incoming freshman) will meet from 5-6:30pm to read through the show and there will be a parent meeting from 6:30-7:30pm in the auditorium. We need all students to attend the read through and all parents to attend the meeting. We will be discussing the 2025/26 budget, discussing fees, meeting the new board members, and seeing where parents can plug in and help out with the band village. We look forward to seeing everyone there!

Lastly, senior parents, please let us know by end of this week what you would like done with any extra funds your senior may have.

-Gift to another student

-Gift to the scholarship fund

-Place in siblings account

**All unspecified funds will go into the general account**

Also, let us know if you have another student in the band, or coming into the band so we can keep you on the email list. June 1st we will delete all senior parents email accounts unless otherwise told!

We hope you all have a fantastic week, please let us know if you need anything!

Good evening band families!

We are getting close to the end of the year and there is a lot going on.

This week, the Wind Ensemble will be heading to the CBA state festival on Monday.

Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday we will be working on getting the uniforms cleaned, and we need your help taking the uniform bags apart and then re-hanging them once they are cleaned. If you are able to help, please sign up on this sign up genius here: Uniform Cleaning

Friday, Jazz 1 will be performing at the UNC Jazz Festival.

If you are signed up with King Soopers Community rewards, please send your screenshot to this email address by May 1st.

If you have a senior, we need to know what you would like us to do with any left over funds that are in their account. We have several options:

• *If you have another band student, or and incoming freshman, we can put the funds into their account.
• You can “gift” the funds into another students account (just let us know what student you want to give it to).
• You can ask for that money to be put into our scholarship fund.
• If you don’t specify where you would like to the funds to be placed, they will automatically go into our general fund.

Please let us know your choice by May 8th.

Also, if you are a parent of a senior, please let us know if you have another student in the program, or an incoming freshman so we can keep you on the email list for next season. We will delete all senior parent emails on June 1st, so please let us know if you would like to continue receiving emails after then.

Lastly for senior parents, you can set up a senior photo board at the last concert (both the last jazz and concert band concert).

Please let us know if you have any questions!
