Category: BAND.us Update

Hello everyone!

I hope you're all enjoying your spring break!

I wanted to provide a quick update: the Leadership Application information is now available on Schoology under both the Symphonic Band and Wind Ensemble sections. For our color guard members who aren’t in those ensembles, I’ll also attach the information here as an alternative way to access it.

Please be sure to thoroughly read through all the instructions, essay prompts, format guidelines, and audition requirements. As a reminder, the initial application will be considered "Round 1," and from there, you’ll be invited to audition in person on either April 23rd or 24th.

One important change this year: Drum Major applications will only be open to students with two years of Marching Hawks experience. The staff believes this better reflects the commitment and experience needed for the position. Section Leaders, however, will still only need one year of Marching Hawks experience. Everyone is welcome to attend the Drum Major/Section Leader workshops before auditions, regardless of experience level. We’ll go over this in more detail when we return from break.

Lastly, a quick reminder: the $25 fee for the Scott Lang Workshop is due when we return. The workshop will be held at 4:30 PM on April 10th at Mountain Range High School.

Thanks, and enjoy the rest of your break!

See you all next week!

Urgent need! Hey Concert Band parents! The chaperone for today’s festival had to cancel due to illness. Is anyone available to chaperone the kids today? Call time is Noon. Estimated return to school is 7p.

All you need to do is ride the bus and assist Mr Duran if needed.

Please message me if you can help. We need 1 or 2 volunteers.

Thank you

Bus 3 and 4 start making your way back to the buses!

Don’t forget to put Arby’s on your to-do list tonight! Eat at the 144th & I-25 location any time today and mention Horizon HS band, and we’ll get a percentage of those purchases back.

An Andes mint chocolate shake would go really great with last-minute packing for Ireland! Also, potato cakes are back…iykyk.

Drive thru or walk-in sales only, no online orders.

If you are playing with concert band tonight and you are able to come in during 7th hour we NEED to have you if you are able. We want to make sure we are all in sync and ready for tonight.
