New fundraising opportunity!
I know this is short notice, but we have an opportunity for you to earn some extra money for your student's account! Fun Services is putting on a company picnic for the Pipefitters Union next Saturday, August 29th, from 10:30-2:30pm and they need our help. There are 20 slots available (first come first serve). All those that sign up will be paid minimum wage, and that money will be put into your student's account. You need to be 14 years old to work. If you sign up, and are unable to work your shift, please find someone else to work your shift.

We know the students have rehearsal Saturday morning, but we encourage parents/siblings/friends to work on their behalf! Please put which student you are signing up for in the comments of the sign up, as well as your t-shirt size(s).

Please sign up here: https://m.signupgenius.com/#!/showSignUp/10C0545AFAA22A5F58-65281515-funservices?useFullSite=false

Update to Weekly Update? August 18th

There were a couple of things we forgot to mention in the message we sent out on Sunday.

Tomorrow we are having a restaurant fundraising night at Freddy’s located at 14255 Lincoln St. Thornton from 4-8pm. You can order on-line using the code ‘GIVEBACK’ or in person and mention Horizon band 20% of the night’s earnings will go towards the band. This is a fun and easy way for us to earn some money for the band. Tell your family and friends to eat at Freddy’s tomorrow!

Friday night is our parent’s night out. Come join us at Prost Brewing on 104th & I-25 at 6pm. You can meet and mingle with other band families and meet new people. If you are new to the band program, this is a great way for you to chat with more seasoned parents about how the marching band season works and how parents can get involved. We would love to see a large turnout so we can get to know one another better, it takes a village to support a band program, so let’s get the village together for a little fun!

If you have ordered shopping bags or swag bags from the Zeffy merch shop and have not picked them up yet, Ashly will be at the school at the end of next Monday evenings rehearsal. You can stop by and pick up what you purchased.

If you are purchasing buttons, please make sure you (or any family members who are ordering) put the name of the student in the order so we know how many buttons of that student we should make.

The last day to order buttons, hats, or yard signs is going to be Thursday September 4th. This will allow time for those items to be ordered and made.

Have a great week!

Weekly Update August 16th

Good afternoon band families!

The students did such a wonderful job at Mile of Money yesterday. We ended up making over $3,000 which is a new record!

Here is what is happening this week:

Monday 8/17:

Rehearsal from 3:30-5pm.

The students will kick off the Play it Forward Fundraiser. This is our biggest fundraiser of the year and our goal for this year is $60,000! We need to purchase some new front ensemble equipment and work towards buying new drumline equipment and we would like to use this fundraiser to help with that. The students will be calling family and friends during Monday’s rehearsal to ask for donations. If you have people that you think would donate, please give their contact information to your student.

Also on Monday

We will be taking pictures for senior banners at 5pm. If you would like your student to have a senior banner, please purchase it by midnight tonight using the link below. The cost is $70 per banner. We have a professional photographer coming on Monday.

Senior Banners

Saturday 8/22:

Rehearsal from 8am-12pm

Please make sure that your student attends the Saturday morning rehearsals. These are so important as the students continue to learn drill and music. The band’s first competition is one month away, these rehearsals are very helpful as they get ready for that competition.

Rapid Fundraising Reminder- 25 Contacts for Tomorrow!

Hi Marching Hawks Families! A quick reminder that our Play It Forward Fundraising Blitz is tomorrow from 3:30–5:00 PM!

The most important thing you can do tonight is help your student come prepared with at least 25 contacts. Students who enter 25+ contacts have significantly more fundraising success and extra incentives and prizes during the fundraiser, so family participation here can make a HUGE difference!

I’ve attached the contact worksheet again to help brainstorm names. Please also give your contacts a quick heads-up today that your student will be calling tomorrow between 3:30–5:00 PM about supporting the Marching Hawks. That advance notice can greatly improve response rates.

Thank you for taking a few minutes tonight to help your student get ready. Our goal is $60,000, and it will take all of us working together to get there!

25+ contacts → Heads-up today → Calls tomorrow!

– Mr. Dailey

Director Update

Director Update Aug 13th

Hello Marching Hawks Families!

We have a  big fundraising weekend ahead, followed by the launch of our  Play It Forward- Rapid Fundraising Blitz on Monday! 

Here’s what you need to know:

Mile of Money this Weekend: 10:00 AM-12:00 PM

Students will be performing pep band music and collecting donations from our community at two locations:

  • King Soopers- 136th & Colorado: Meet near Subway
  • Lowe’s- 136th & Orchard: Meet on the south side of the parking lot in front of the store

Students have already divided themselves between the two locations, so  please check with your student to make sure you know where to drop them off.

Friends, family, neighbors, and community members are welcome to stop by, hear the band, and support the Marching Hawks!

Play It Forward Fundraising Blitz, Begins Monday @3:30-5:00 pm!

Our biggest online fundraising push begins Monday, with a goal of raising  $60,000 for the Marching Hawks!

Families: your biggest job this weekend is to help your student build their contact list. Please use the attached Contact List Worksheet and work together to identify  at least 25 people your student can contact. Think grandparents, extended family, family friends, coworkers, neighbors, former teachers/coaches, friends’ parents, and anyone who has enjoyed watching your student perform.

Students who prepare 25+ contacts raise significantly more, and parents can make an even bigger difference by giving those contacts a quick  heads-up before Monday that their student will be reaching out.  The students will be calling between 3:30-5:00 pm. 

Our $60,000 goal directly helps us  keep marching band fees as low as possible while continuing to invest in our students and program. Last year’s incredible fundraising efforts helped us purchase our show shirts, upgrade our sound system, and purchase new instruments. This year, we’re focusing on  new front ensemble equipment, working toward a new drumline, and continuing to upgrade our marching instruments for the future.

This weekend’s family homework: help your student get their 25+ contacts ready for Monday! 

Don’t forget:

Peach pick-up will be this Saturday after Mile of Money, from 12:15-1:15 pm at Horizon. Look for the truck with all of the peaches on it!
Yes, you will receive a list of who ordered from you, so you know who to deliver the boxes to!

Thank you for helping make these opportunities possible for our students. When everyone participates, even small donations add up to a HUGE impact.

-Mr. Dailey

Update from BAND: Thu August 13, 2026 9:52am

Good morning. I have 4 peach orders that did not give us student names when they ordered, they entered the orders under their own names. If you recognize any of the names below as someone who would have purchased from you, please let me know as soon as possible. I have texted them, but have received no response. Thank you!
