Hey everyone! If you haven’t heard yet, the district is shutting down today because of the incoming hail storm. Stay safe, and we will resume at 9 am tomorrow!

Hey Hawks!
Last mini camp this week! Tomorrow and Wednesday 9a-4p at HHS! I believe that with the construction, we should now be entering in through the back auditorium entrance.
Students- please hydrate now and tonight to be ready for tomorrow. Also, make sure we are wearing appropriate athletic clothing, with how hot it’s been jeans are not a good option, or flexible enough for marching.
Contracts and deposits are due this week, check out the previous posts or go to horizon hawks.band to pay fees. These will guarantee your spot in the marching show!
The CustomInk fundraiser ends Wendesday! We sold enough shirts to run that fundraiser, but not the other items yet. Last chance to grab those items!

See you all tomorrow!

Weekly Update June 15th
Good evening band families, and Happy Father’s Day to all our band dad’s!
This week will wrap up this summer’s mini camp. The student’s have rehearsal from 9am-4pm on both Tuesday and Wednesday. Thank you to all of you who volunteered to bring fruit and popsicles, we appreciate you!
Please make sure that your student turns in their commitment form by Wednesday and please make the first payment of $100 by Wednesday as well.
Rehearsals will start back up the last week of July, we will send out a reminder email along with sign ups for fruit and popsicle sign ups in July. If you have questions, please feel free to reach out before then. Your student’s section may have rehearsals during this break, please help them make it to them if possible.
We hope you all have a wonderful July!
Weekly Update June 8th
Good evening band families! Thank you to all the students and parents that helped out with the car wash yesterday, we had a great turn out! Many students were able to get a head start with their fees, which is awesome!
This week, the student’s have mini camp on Tuesday from 9am-4pm. It is supposed to be much warmer this week, please make sure that your student has a water bottle, sunscreen, and a hat. The band has water jugs that your student can refill their bottles with.
We have had several questions about how to pay for band fees, so here a couple quick things to know:
- If your student is a freshman or is new to marching band, they will NOT be listed on our accounts sheet. This is because we do not get the “official” class list until fall, once we do, your student’s student ID will show up with how much they have in their account. However, you can still make payments. Just be sure to write in your student’s name in the memo field.
- We accept Venmo, PayPal, Zelle, cash and check (made out to HHSBPA). If you pay by cash or check, you can either hand it in to Mr. Dailey or Mr. Duran (in an envelope with your student’s name and grade) or mail it to our PO Box (the address is found on the website). If you are on our website, click here. The password is in your email, and it was shared at the band parents meeting a few weeks ago by Mr. Dailey.
Remember, two great, easy ways to earn money for your student’s account is to sign up for the King Soopers Community Rewards and RaiseRight.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out. Have a great week!

Hey all! A few important things as we are approaching the weekend:
Here are the updated parts, AND the transposed solos for the show:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1zzJNJkGYILK5Did9Z4if89uDgwkJd86j?usp=sharing
Bb instruments can just read the trumpet part for the first movement solo, and I transposed only to instruments that will be able to also audition for each marked solo. Pre-show alto solo, trumpet solo, and baritone/low brass solos for movement 1 and a few alternate parts in the woodwind quartet in movement 2. The alto flute solo now has a normal flute part for flutes auditioning for that as well, we will transfer it back to alto flute later in the season.
Final reminder, sign up for the car wash fundraiser if you haven't yet and are available, and thanks for those of you who have!!

For the Podcast Fans:
If you've made it this far—thank you! I wanted to share a podcast you might enjoy. It’s called Band Dads by Scott Lang (some of our leadership students have worked with him before). The show is all about band life from a parent’s perspective, covering a wide range of interesting and relevant topics.

Sorry for the late post! Looks like the construction team didn’t follow the map. Please drop off/park on the front of the school instead tomorrow morning. Either walk to the theater entrance or come through the front doors to go to the band room to start. Thanks for your flexibility!

Weekly Update June 1st
Good evening band families, it was great to see so many of you at Frolic on Friday, please be on the lookout for information for our next band parent meet up!
It’s the big week…mini camp begins THIS Tuesday! Mini camp will be held on Tuesday and Wednesday from 9-4pm. Please make sure that your student has eaten breakfast, has sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, athletic shoes, a water bottle, their instrument, music, lyre, a lunch, and a good attitude!
The school’s parking lots are being paved this summer, I have attached a map on what will be closed off this week, here are the instructions:
For the 1st week specifically (the BLUE shaded area), make sure to park in the GREEN shaded area. All coaches, sponsors, and students should walk along the BLUE area sidewalk (courtyard side) to access the building, and then walk back to the GREEN area and to the fields. We are still in need of help with our fruit and popsicle breaks, if you are able to supply fruit or popsicles for any of the mini camps, please sign up here: Fruit/Popsicle sign up. We want to make sure there is enough for everyone, so please sign up.
We also need help measuring students for their competition uniform tops. Our uniform chair, Anna, will be fitting students on Tuesday starting at 9am. So far, we only have 2 parents signed up, if you can help, please sign up here: Uniform Sign Up.
This Saturday is our car wash at North Metro Church’s parking lot. Encourage your student to sell their car wash tickets to earn money for their band accounts. We are still in need of equipment and parent volunteers to help run the event. If you are willing to let us borrow a hose, supply some car wash soap, have a power washer that you would lend us, or are able to help out on Saturday, please sign up here: Car Wash Sign Up.
Just a reminder that the band contract is due along with the $100 down payment on June 18th.
Please let us know if you have any questions!
