Good evening band families!

Thank you to all who came out to the Show N’ Tell on Friday, we had a great turnout! The students are off to a great start, I cannot wait to see where they go this season. Thank you to those who donated money to help support the purchase of new sound equipment, we raised enough to purchase new microphones and the Mac Mini was purchased off the Amazon Wish List, thank you so much!

This year, we would like to give everyone the opportunity to wear their student’s picture with pride! We will be taking student’s photos in their uniforms at the first football game (08/28) and making buttons. The buttons will be available for pick up at the Showcase on September 13th. Each button is $10. We started a pre-order sheet for them at the Show N’ Tell, if you didn’t get a chance to order one, and would like one, please fill out this form. Please be sure to place your order AND pay by Monday August 25th. We will not make a button that has not been paid for. Button Order Form

We still have 3 slots available for the Fun Services Pipefitters event. This is a great way to earn money for your student’s account. Fun Services is putting on an employee picnic for the Pipefitters and in need of helpers. You must be 15 years old to sign up, if you sign up, please give your t-shirt size. You will earn minimum wage and that money will go into your student’s account. Sign up here: Fun Services Pipefitter Event

We have a restaurant day THIS Wednesday ALL day at Rushbowls at the Hilltop Shopping Center at 136th & Colorado. Mention you are with the Horizon band and we will receive 20% of the day’s proceeds (that is huge!). Please go treat yourself with Rushbowls!

A reminder that our annual Mile of Money fundraiser is NEXT Saturday (08/16) from 10am-12pm. We will be playing at reo locations this year. Lowe’s on 136th & Orchard Pkwy and the Hilltop Shopping Center (King Soopers) on 136th & Colorado. With two locations we are hoping to double the amount fundraised to help go towards a new sound board. Please make sure your student attends.

We will be kicking off our annual online campaign on Monday August 18th. We need your help. We will be asking your student to provide a list of email addresses to share our campaign with. This is our largest fundraiser of the year. Last year, we made a little over $20,000, which is great, but with our growing band, comes a growing budget. We desperately need to increase that number to $30,000-$40,000. Other bands that we compete with at State bring in $60,000 with their online campaign, so please help us find email addresses. Also, if you work for a company that would like to give, there will be a company sponsorship link this year.

Lastly, we would like to quickly remind you that payments were due last Friday. To make a payment, visit the Pay Fees page. The list of payment options are shown once you are logged in.

If you have any questions, feel free to email us. Thank you, and have a great first week of school!

Thank you to all those who helped during band camp with uniform fittings or snack breaks. It takes a village to run a marching band, and everyone’s help and support is very much appreciated!

See you all Friday!

Band Camp Week! Stay hydrated!

We are still in need of help with uniform fitting. We would really like to try and get it done this week, so if you are available please sign up here: Uniform Help

We are so excited to be starting the marching season, and cannot wait to see what the Marching Hawks do this year!

Good evening band families!

We hope everyone is enjoying their summer! We want to thank everyone who has purchased needed items off the band Amazon Wish List…thank you, thank you, thank you! We have a good start on items needed for our chaperone bags and for snacks. If you would like to help us out with the list, click here: Amazon Wish List

Band camp is two weeks away! Starting Monday July 28 – August 1, the students will have band camp from 8am – 5pm, they will have an hour lunch break. We would like to provide them with a morning fruit break and an afternoon popsicle break, if you are able to help, please sign up here: Fruit & Popsicle sign up

The second week of band camp will be from Monday August 4th – Thursday August 7th. Times are going to be 3pm – 6pm on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Thursday is scheduled for 12pm – 3pm. Lastly, Friday is 3pm-6pm with the Show N’ Tell at 6pm.This will be a chance for the students to show off what they have been working so hard on all summer, plus we have a band parent meeting to give more information about the season. We also host a hot dog dinner (hot dog, band of chips, bottle of water, and cookies for $5). We will send out a sign up sheet when we get closer to that date.

Band camp is EXTREMELY important for your student to attend. Please ensure that your student is there and ready for rehearsal each day. If your student is unable to attend, please inform Mr. Dailey or have them contact their section leader. The students will be learning drill for the show during these rehearsals and will be behind if they miss.

Senior Parents – We are hoping to have a photographer come out during band camp to take pictures for senior banners. We are working on the details, however, once we have the information, we will send it out immediately. The banners were $75 last year, we are expecting a similar price. These are not mandatory, but they are nice to hang at football games to show support to our senior members.

Good evening band families, and Happy Father’s Day to all our band dad’s!

This week will wrap up this summer’s mini camp. The student’s have rehearsal from 9am-4pm on both Tuesday and Wednesday. Thank you to all of you who volunteered to bring fruit and popsicles, we appreciate you!

Please make sure that your student turns in their commitment form by Wednesday and please make the first payment of $100 by Wednesday as well.

Rehearsals will start back up the last week of July, we will send out a reminder email along with sign ups for fruit and popsicle sign ups in July. If you have questions, please feel free to reach out before then. Your student’s section may have rehearsals during this break, please help them make it to them if possible.

We hope you all have a wonderful July!

Good evening band families! Thank you to all the students and parents that helped out with the car wash yesterday, we had a great turn out! Many students were able to get a head start with their fees, which is awesome!

This week, the student’s have mini camp on Tuesday from 9am-4pm. It is supposed to be much warmer this week, please make sure that your student has a water bottle, sunscreen, and a hat. The band has water jugs that your student can refill their bottles with.

We have had several questions about how to pay for band fees, so here a couple quick things to know:

• If your student is a freshman or is new to marching band, they will NOT be listed on our accounts sheet. This is because we do not get the “official” class list until fall, once we do, your student’s student ID will show up with how much they have in their account. However, you can still make payments. Just be sure to write in your student’s name in the memo field.

• We accept Venmo, PayPal, Zelle, cash and check (made out to HHSBPA). If you pay by cash or check, you can either hand it in to Mr. Dailey or Mr. Duran (in an envelope with your student’s name and grade) or mail it to our PO Box (the address is found on the website). If you are on our website, click here. The password is in your email, and it was shared at the band parents meeting a few weeks ago by Mr. Dailey.

Remember, two great, easy ways to earn money for your student’s account is to sign up for the King Soopers Community Rewards and RaiseRight.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out. Have a great week!

Good evening band families, it was great to see so many of you at Frolic on Friday, please be on the lookout for information for our next band parent meet up!

It’s the big week…mini camp begins THIS Tuesday! Mini camp will be held on Tuesday and Wednesday from 9-4pm. Please make sure that your student has eaten breakfast, has sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, athletic shoes, a water bottle, their instrument, music, lyre, a lunch, and a good attitude!

The school’s parking lots are being paved this summer, I have attached a map on what will be closed off this week, here are the instructions:

For the 1st week specifically (the BLUE shaded area), make sure to park in the GREEN shaded area. All coaches, sponsors, and students should walk along the BLUE area sidewalk (courtyard side) to access the building, and then walk back to the GREEN area and to the fields. 

We are still in need of help with our fruit and popsicle breaks, if you are able to supply fruit or popsicles for any of the mini camps, please sign up here: Fruit/Popsicle sign up. We want to make sure there is enough for everyone, so please sign up.

We also need help measuring students for their competition uniform tops. Our uniform chair, Anna, will be fitting students on Tuesday starting at 9am. So far, we only have 2 parents signed up, if you can help, please sign up here: Uniform Sign Up.

This Saturday is our car wash at North Metro Church’s parking lot. Encourage your student to sell their car wash tickets to earn money for their band accounts. We are still in need of equipment and parent volunteers to help run the event. If you are willing to let us borrow a hose, supply some car wash soap, have a power washer that you would lend us, or are able to help out on Saturday, please sign up here: Car Wash Sign Up.

Just a reminder that the band contract is due along with the $100 down payment on June 18th.

Please let us know if you have any questions!

Good evening band families, we hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend. Thank you to all of you who came to Thursday night’s meeting, it was great to see so many faces, if you missed the meeting, we attached the band parents slide presentation to today’s email which should be waiting for you in your inbox.

If you did not receive today’s email, please email us at horizonbandparents@gmail.com with your student’s name and grade and we can get you added to the list.

In June, the students will have their “mini camps” on 6/3, 6/4, 6/10, 6/17 and 6/18. These are from 9am – 4pm at the school. Please ensure that your student has athletic shoes, sunglasses, sunscreen, a hat, their instrument/equipment (including a lyre and their music) and a water bottle. Also, make sure they have eaten breakfast and that they bring lunch or have the ability to go get lunch. The band parents like to organize two breaks for the students during their mini camp and band camp. We would like to provide fruit in the morning and popsicles in the afternoon for the students. If you would like to donate fruit, popsicles, or your time to help set up and clean up the breaks, please sign up on the Sign Up Genius here: Fruit/Popsicle Sign Up

On Tuesday June 3, Anna, our uniform chair will be measuring the students for their new competition uniform tops. She is going to need help to get through all the students. If you are able to help out, please sign up here: Uniform Help

We will be holding our annual car wash on Saturday June 7th from 10-2pm at North Metro Church. This is a great fundraiser for your student to earn money for their band account (If they haven’t picked up their car wash tickets, encourage them to get them from Mr. Dailey) and allows the general fund to earn money the day of the car wash. We need some items and volunteers to ensure the car wash is successful. If you are able to let us borrow a power washer or can donate a bottle of soap, or your time, please sign up here: Car Wash Sign Up

Please remember that the band contract is due June 18th along with the $100 deposit to secure your students’ spot. Please go here for payment options.

We are so excited to be starting up again and being there to watch and support our marching hawks soar!
