Weekly Update April 26th

Good evening band families,

We are coming to the end of the school year! We have a couple of important dates and reminders that we need to go over.

First is the upcoming concerts. The last band concert is Thursday April 30th at 6:30pm. Senior parents, if you would like to display a senior board, please bring it a few minutes early. We will also be having our silent auction at the concert, plan on viewing and bidding on your favorite baskets!  

The last jazz concert of the year is May 7th at 6:30, again, if you have a senior and want to display their senior board, please bring it a few minutes early.

The last important date is May 18th. This will be the kick off to the 2026/27 marching band season! The students will meet from 5-7pm to do a read through of the show. At 7pm, we will have our band parent meeting. If your student is going to be in marching band, please plan on attending this meeting. 

It is time for you to email me your quarterly King Soopers Community Rewards. Please take a screenshot of your rewards and send it to me by May 10 so we can put that towards your student’s account.

If you have any outstanding balances from marching band, winter percussion, or winter color guard, please pay those ASAP. This will affect our budget for next year, so please get any money owed paid.

If you have a senior, we need to know what to do with any extra funds that may be left in their student account. We have several options:

*If you have other students in the band, the funds can be rolled into a siblings account

*You can choose to gift any left over funds to another specified student

*You can choose to have left over funds go into our scholarship fund

OR

If you do not specify what you want done, the money will go into the band’s general fund. Please let me know by June 1st what you would like done.

Also, please let us know if you would like to stay on the email list. On June 1st, we will delete all senior parents emails. If you would like to remain on the list OR you have other students in the band, please let us know and we will keep you on our list.

We will be making the marching band calendar shortly, we will have it ready to attach to emails by our May 18th meeting. However, one date we would like you to be aware of now, so you can put it on your calendar is our annual car wash date. It will be on Saturday June 13 from 10-2. You will receive more details soon, but just wanted to let you know when it will be.

Please let us know if you have any questions!

Hello Band Families!

I hope everyone had a fun and restful spring break! I wanted to send a quick message out with a few updates:

Unified Basketball- April 2nd @3:30
Please join us in the pep band for this unified match up against Thornton PD! It counts for lettering, is great for our community, and amps up the environment for this really fun opportunity right after school. Game goes pretty quick, we'll be done after about an hour.

Wind Symphony CBA State Rehearsal- April 16th 1-4 pm
Make sure all Wind Symphony members are available for our April 16th rehearsal from 1-4 pm to make up for the three missed rehearsals for state testing. State is on April 20th, and we are departing HHS at 7:00 am so we will need to be fully prepared before that weekend!
