Hey Hawks! I hope you all had a great extended weekend!

Check your email inboxes for an update on all of the schedules for this week I just sent out through messenger. Few quick reminders here:

Rehearsal TONIGHT 5:30-9 pm. Meet on the parking lot, moving to the field at 6 pm. We will learn all of movement 3 and clean 1 and 2 to be ready for the football game on Thursday! Attached is the drill video, take a look before tonight so you can prepare for what we'll be getting into!

Show shirt fundraiser closes tonight! Link is in the past post if you still need it.

I'll see you all soon! #marching_hawks

Good work out there Hawks! Check out this drone footage from today's practice, showcasing movements 1 and 2. Unfortunately, there's no audio, but I believe it still gives you a good sense of our movements. Feel free to use it as a resource to improve your own marching.

I hope that in future practices, I will be able to use my drone to capture our progress and see the band continue to improve.

Dear Families and Friends,

We’re excited to share the shop for this year’s show shirt, available through Custom Ink! The design is the same as the students’ shirts, which they will receive next week. If you’d like to order a long sleeve shirt or hoodie, now is your chance! Wearing these items is a great way to show your support for the band at competitions and events.

Please note, the shop will be open only until September 3rd, and items should arrive by September 19th.

Check out the details and place your orders here:

Thank you for your support!

Reminder! You will be excused at 11 am via an announcement for the freshman assembly! Come to the band room, grab your instruments quickly and we will head to the gym together to play. You’ll be excused back to class partly through 5th hour.

See you tomorrow!

Hello Band Families!

I wanted to send out a bit more information on Snap Raise, our online fundraiser that was kicked off by Mile of Money, and also thank everyone for their help this last weekend! We had an excellent turn out of band students, they represented HHS with pride, and we raise $1800 in cash donations which is such an amazing start to our fundraiser!

Beyond this, we have the online campaign going on, which students could put in emails or phone numbers in to get the word out. If your student did not make an account yet, here is the link:

https://raise.snap.app/donate/horizon-high-school-band-2024

The “magic” number is 20 emails or numbers, HOWEVER, I highly suggest sharing on socials! This spreads the word out to the community, and doesn’t just reach out toward family members. Neighbors, businesses, and others may be interested in donating but we will need the help getting the word out! Right now, 60 percent of the funds raised are from email, 30 percent from texts, and about 10 from socials and direct links, so there is still a huge untapped market to get more exposure for the program! You can share through the main fundraiser page linked below.

We’ve already raised over 6,000 dollars which is an incredible start! Thanks to those of you who have shared this out so far or even donated!

Hawks!

School theater doors will be open at 8:45 so you can grab your instruments before the fundraiser! If possible, wear hawks/band gear. I’ll see you all at Kind Soopers by the Subway at 9:45 am!

Hey all! School starts tomorrow! Reminder we will be playing in the morning for everyone walking in. Try to be in the band room between 7:10-7:15 so we can be outside and ready to play by 7:20 am.

I will have the back theater doors open and you should be able to get through the front as well. Thanks in advanced for playing and bringing some hype to our first day for all of the HHS students!!!

See you in the morning! #marching_hawks

Don’t forget to eat at Freddy’s tonight! Mobile orders are accepted (code is on the flyer), and in-store dining. Tell everyone you know!

Hey all!

Don't forget we have rehearsal tonight at 4:00 pm! We will be on the turf field, and need to be wearing white shirts as the news crew is here today and will arrive around 5:00 pm. Logos or different types of shirts are totally fine, we're just looking to have some uniformity to how we look on the field. We will be done by 7:00 pm.

Please try to be early! There is a lot that needs to be moved from the band room (and cleaned up from camp) that we will need help with to get things kicked off on time.

See you tonight! #marching_hawks

Show and tell run through!
