BAND.us is available as an App from Google Play (for Android devices) or the Apple Store (for iOS devices). You will require a private invite to join the Horizon Hawks Bands group as it is not open to the public. Do not despair! That handy dandy invite, along with a quick start guide on how to get connected is available by clicking the button directly below. Please contact Tim Dailey (using the contact detail in the sidebar to the right) or ask your student to share the password.

Hey all! We have kicked off our annual Butter Braids fundraiser, and we have only a short amount of time to sell in order to have delivery before Thanksgiving break. Sales have already started, and you can use the paper order forms (Mr. Dailey is handing them out!) OR you can set up an online store using the link below. If you use the paper forms, please collect payment for sales now, and turn in with the completed form (cash or checks made out to HHSBPA). Order forms are DUE Wednesday, November 13–turn in to the box in the band room. Online orders end 11/13, as well. NOTE: online orders are still distributed to the student, they are NOT shipped to the buyer. Butter Braids will be delivered to the school on Thursday, 11/21, and students will be responsible for picking up during 8th hour/after school. With this fundraiser, approximately $4.50 from each Butter Braid sold will be credited to the individual student’s band account! Thank you!!
