Good evening band families!

The second week of band camp is underway! The students are doing an awesome job, we cannot wait for Friday to see the product of all their hard work. Friday is our Show N’ Tell, it will be at 6pm outside, so bring a lawn chair if you would like a seat. We will hold a quick parent meeting and watch the students show us what they’ve been up to for the past two weeks. We will serve a hot dog dinner to the students, if you would like one for your family, (hot dog, bag of chips, bottle of water, and a delicious bakery cookie for $5), please fill out this google form by tomorrow (Tuesday 8/5) so we know how many hot dogs to prepare: Hot Dog Dinner Sign Up

The next payment of $200 is due on August 8th. Please remember to go to our website (listed at the bottom of this email), hit the make payment button. The password is in your email, (if you need it, please refer to the many emails we included it in!) Follow prompts to make a payment. Our treasurer will have students accounts up to date and will be able to answer questions.

We have an opportunity for you to earn some extra money for your student’s account! Fun Services is putting on a company picnic for Pipefitters on Saturday August 23rd from 10:30-2:30pm and they need your help. There are 12 slots available (first come first serve). All those that sign up will be paid minimum wage, and that money will be put into your student’s account. You need to be 15 years old to work. You cannot sign up later than August 15th, so sign up fast. If you sign up, and are unable to work your shift, please find someone else to work your shift. When you sign up, please provide your t-shirt size. Please sign up here: Pipefitter’s Sign Up

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 also need some more volunteers to bring fruit and popsicles, if you can help out with bringing fruit or popsicles, please sign up here: Fruit/Popsicle Help

If you would like to purchase a senior banner, TODAY is the LAST day to sign up! We need the banner form AND the money by Tuesday July 29th at 5pm. The cost is $62 and pictures will be done on Friday at 1pm by a professional photographer. If you would like a senior banner, please sign up here: Senior Banner Form

Please send in a snapshot of your King Soopers Community Rewards by August 1st.

Lastly, we will be selling a hot dog dinner (hot dog, bag of chips, cookie, bottle of water) for $5 at the Show N’ Tell on Friday August 8th. After a long day, it’s a nice quick and easy dinner for  your family. We will feed the band students for free, but if you would like to purchase a hot dog dinner for yourself or your family members, please sign up on this form, so we know how many meals we need to have. Please sign up no later than Tuesday August 5th. Payments can be made the night of the Show N’ Tell, or earlier: Hot Dog Dinner Form

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!

Good morning band families!

We have important information about this upcoming season. I only have a few email addresses from incoming freshmen, so, if you know any incoming freshmen, please share this information with them, we are hoping for a large turnout of both students and parents.

As of June 1st, all the senior parents who have not reached out to me will be removed from the email list, if you have not told me that you want to remain on the list and wish to, please let me know by June 1st.

If you have any questions, please reach out.

We hope to see you all on Thursday!

We are coming to the end of this school year and just about to start up the new marching season, so there is a lot about to happen.

This week we have the final band concert of the year on Thursday at 6:30pm. We will be holding our annual silent auction basket fundraiser to help kick off the marching season, so please come show your support and bid on some fun baskets! Come early to check out and bid on the baskets and take a look at the senior boards (senior parents feel free to decorate a tri fold board full of your seniors best and cutest school moments, we will have tables out to display them).

Graduation is Wednesday May 14th at 7pm. The band does play at graduation and details of the day will be sent out by Mr. Dailey.

We are in need of 3 more parent volunteers to chaperone the band to the Graduation ceremony.Wednesday May 14th – Call Time is 4p.

The expectation is that the chaperones ride on the buses with the band, to Boulder and back to the school (2 chaperones per bus) and sit in the stands behind the band.  Clear Bag Policy applies to this event. Please respond to this email if you are able to chaperone.

We will be kicking of marching season on Thursday May 22. All the students (including incoming freshman) will meet from 5-6:30pm to read through the show and there will be a parent meeting from 6:30-7:30pm in the auditorium. We need all students to attend the read through and all parents to attend the meeting. We will be discussing the 2025/26 budget, discussing fees, meeting the new board members, and seeing where parents can plug in and help out with the band village. We look forward to seeing everyone there!
