I was able to watch the final run through before the regional competition, and it was FANTASTIC! Everyone of you should be extremely proud of how far you've come this season. Your show is fun and exciting and the crowd loves you. You have made so many improvements in the past couple of weeks, it's really incredible! I am very proud to be a mom of 3 marching Hawks and a band mom to you all! Good luck tonight, have fun with your show and GO HAWKS!

– Jessica Hughes

If anyone who went to the showcase happened to find a Chevy key with a white pearl cross on the keychain, please let me know.

Thanks to everyone who ate out at Chipotle last night! I was notified that we raised $316.94–which means that in just three restaurant night fundraisers we have earned about $800. Thank you all for your participation and support!

Hello Band Families!

Big update as we approach the climax of the season, so please read all of the information below:

Thank you all for the help this past weekend at the Big Cat Marching Festival! I’m so proud of the growth the students showed off at the festival! Now, we’re fortunate to get a good amount of rehearsal time within this next week before regionals to continue that improvement!

Regionals is the most important competition of the season, so let’s try to get 100% attendance at this performance! We have not had a show yet with a full roster and it would be great to get a read on the show with everyone in. This is what slots us for quarter/semi finals and looking at the 5A Scores statewide, it’s a coin flip between 6th-10th place so we really want to set our students up for their best possible performance before getting to state.

Big Cat Finals Performance can be found here:

Hey Hawks!

I hope you’re all taking the time to rest today so you’re ready for a fantastic competition tomorrow! Here are a few reminders to keep in mind:

Get plenty of rest tonight! We’re in the final stretch of the season, so use this time to heal and recharge for your success.

Arrive early to rehearsal. Please be there by 7:45 AM. If you can come earlier to help with moving the front ensemble and props, that would be fantastic! We want to START rehearsal at 8:00 AM with everyone ready for stretching.

Reflect on your show, goals, and your "why" today. Consider what you want to improve for this competition. Think about how you can contribute more to the music, visuals, and culture of the Horizon Band. What has been a big positive for you this season?

Focus on the changes in your show. Make sure you’re prepared to execute those new spots with confidence!

Remember, your staff is proud of you! We’re amazed by the hard work you’ve put into the season so far. Let’s keep pushing to improve and be our best while maintaining that growth mindset!

Let’s keep the momentum going!

Go Hawks!
