Weekly Update June 28th

Good evening band families,

Just a quick reminder that the students have mini band camp this Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday from 9am-4pm. Please make sure that your student gets a good night’s sleep and has breakfast in the morning. They will need to bring a water bottle, hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, their instrument and music. They will have a one hour lunch break, so have them pack a lunch if they are unable to leave to get lunch.

We would like to provide a fruit break in the morning and a popsicle break in the afternoon on each of the three days. We are in need of parents to volunteer to bring fruit and popsicles. We have a few spots left open, if you are able, please sign up here:

Fruit & Popsicle Break Sign Up

The first band fee payment is due on Wednesday July 1st. You should have received your CutTime sign in link through text. If you are an android user, it may end up in your text spam, so if you did not receive it, please check there. Remember, this is your magic link to your student’s account. You will need to keep this link for the year. 

You can also make a payment via Zeffy:

Zeffy Band Fee Payment Link

Ashly will be at the school on Wednesday at 9am and 4pm if you would like to pay by cash or check since your student will not have access to the band room where the locked payment box is.

If you have a senior this year, we will be offering the senior banners again this year. They will be $70 and pictures will be taken on Thursday August 6th at 5pm. The students do not have band rehearsal that night, it is back to school night. If you would like to purchase a senior banner, please make sure that your student can be at the school that night. I will be sending out a sign up for this soon, but wanted to get it on your radar now so you can plan accordingly.

Please reach out if you have any questions!

Hey Hawks! I can't wait to see you all tomorrow for the start of our mini camp!

Remember, we'll be going from 9:00 am- 4:00 pm Monday-Wednesday. Because of the construction at HHS, we'll be outside most of the day. We only have access to the auditorium and auditorium lobby. Please bring lots of water, sunscreen, hats, and appropriate athletic attire and shoes.

Lunch once again is on your own. You can take a break from the sun eating in the auditorium lobby, but you must clean up after yourselves.

We have a lot of work and growing to do these three days, and I'm so excited to dive into new topics and music!

Don't forget that final commitment is due by Wednesday where we will finalize our drill numbers and get your spots for the show that we'll start learning starting on July 27th!

See you tomorrow, and start hydrating TODAY to be ready for the week!

Hey everyone! Heads up on an upcoming fundraiser that you can start getting friends and family excited for!

Starting next week, students will be selling boxes of Palisade peaches—directly from an orchard in Palisade, CO! There will be a link to order from, and customers will enter the name of the musician they are supporting. Boxes are $45/box (25-28 peaches per box, approx. 10 lbs) and the students will earn $10.50 per box for their band account!

The fundraiser will be open during the month of July and will be delivered mid-August. Start spreading the word to everyone you know who loves peaches, and be on the lookout for more information and the ordering link soon!

Hey Hawks!

Final reminder that tomorrow is our car wash fundraiser! If you're planning on coming, please fill out the student volunteer form for the car wash: (If you forget, you can still show up and get credit for helping at the wash!) https://forms.gle/Wco6y4TD937mfA2k8

Don't forget sunscreen, water, a snack if you'll need one, dress appropriately, and be ready to work to get those cars squeaky clean!

Great job to those of you who have fundraised (some close to ALL of their band fees!!) with the calendar campaign. If you collected cash/checks/etc. you can turn that in tomorrow as well. Remember, you can still get started and have this campaign run for the rest of the summer, there just won't be a car wash associated with the donations.

See you tomorrow!

Hey Marching Hawks Leadership Team!

Just a reminder that the Command the Field Drum Major & Leadership Camp is coming up soon! This is an awesome opportunity to grow your leadership skills, improve your conducting, learn how to teach and motivate others, and bring new ideas back to the Marching Hawks.

One exciting addition this year is that Command the Field is partnering with the Blue Knights experience, giving students access to even more leadership and marching arts education opportunities.

I highly encourage all current and aspiring drum majors, section leaders, and student leaders to check it out. You can find more information here:

https://commandthefield.com/

Let me know if you have any questions or reach out to Dr. Grice directly!

Hey Hawks! This post if for all things car wash and calendar fundraiser! Please take a few minutes to read the post all the way through and get signed up for the fundraiser and to volunteer:

We are under two weeks out from the car wash and hopefully you have been hard at work filling your calendar for donations, but if not, there is still time! Attached is the actual calendar, and here's the link to get signed up: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/peer-to-peer/marching-hawks-calendar-and-car-wash-fundraiser

The calendar does not need to be done by the car wash, but after you won't be able to use that as a "bonus" for donations after. Remember to share your zeffy link out via social media, text/email, whatever to get the word out. I've seen several students also walk door to door asking for support from neighbors with a lot of success! Over $1,100 has been raised to student accounts but this fundraiser has potential to pay 90 percent of your band fees AND $80,000 to accounts total!!

Here is the student volunteer form for the car wash: https://forms.gle/Wco6y4TD937mfA2k8
Please let me know if you have any questions!

Parents, you should have received an email from Horizonbandparents@gmail.com with the parent volunteer sign up and more info, if you did not, please review the last post and fill out that google form for communication and CutTime.

Weekly Update May 30th

Good evening band families!

This is the start of our weekly updates for this marching band season. We email out all the important upcoming information that you need to know about. During the marching season you will receive one (sometimes two) emails per week. We ask that you read the emails in their entirety, as we try to only put information that you need in them. If you ever have any questions, please email us and we will get back to you as soon as we can. During the marching band season we try to respond within 24-48 hours. After the season is over, it may take me a little longer.

The next event that we have is our annual Car Wash Fundraiser. This will be held on Saturday June 13th from 10am-2pm at North Metro Church located at 12505 Colorado Blvd. Your student will be asked to sign up for a 2 hour shift, either 10-12 OR 12-2. They absolutely may stay for the entire event. Mr. Dailey had handed out the calendar fundraising form for your student to start getting people to fill out. This is an easy fundraiser for your student to earn money for their band account. If your student is given any cash for their Calendar they may bring the money to the Car Wash and we will get it put into their account. We need parent volunteers to help with this fundraiser. We need people to donate equipment like hoses, car wash soap, sponges, etc. AND we need parents to help manage the car wash. If you are able to help in any way, please sign up on this Sign Up Genius: 

Car Wash Fundraiser Sign Up

The season calendars up to October are updated and emailed! We send them out with the weekly updates (just in case you like it on paper 😀).

Stay tuned for more ways to help the band, and please send me any questions you may have. The band website is a fantastic source of information and is updated weekly.

We look forward to meeting all the new band families and are so excited to see what our Marching Hawks do this year. It takes a village to support a successful band program and we thank each and every one of you who help out!

Have a great week!
