Good morning band families!
We just wanted to remind everyone that we will be holding the annual Car Wash Fundraiser tomorrow June 29th from 10am to 2pm at North Metro Church. Please advertise amongst your families and friends to come get their car washed, donations are very much welcome.
Let’s make this the most successful car wash yet!
Please contact us if you have any questions.
Hawks!
Mini-Camp starts tomorrow and goes through Thursday! 9:00 am in the parking lot to start our day with a lunch break at 12 pm! Music will be after lunch until 4 pm. I’m so excited to get to the next steps in marching and playing the show! I did update your parts. The letters should be correct now as well as some edited parts throughout the show for a lot of the instruments. Not everyone has changed parts, but the formatting errors are much better across the board.
Don’t forget to get your contracts turned in this week, and communicate with myself and your section leaders if you cannot make rehearsal. Final numbers will be submitted after Thursday for drill so we will need all of the commitment forms by then.
Bring sun screen, lots of water, a hat, and a positive attitude to our mini-camp and we will have a great time! We also have Sleep and Irish Tune from County Derry arranged for the winds, so we can look forward to some new music!
See you all tomorrow!

Good morning band families, and Happy Father’s Day to all our band dads!
Remember to check the calendar!
This week the students have their mini camp. This is a big week for the students to learn marching technique and begin to work on the show, so please don’t miss it! It looks like the weather will be slightly cooler, but please still plan on your student being out in the sun. They need water, sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, closed toe shoes, their instrument, music and a lunch. The band parents will provide a morning fruit break and an afternoon Popsicle break. Thank you to all those who signed up to help with that, there are just a couple slots left, if you are able to help, sign up here: Fruit/Popsicle sign up.
We will be having our annual car wash on Saturday June 29 at North Metro Church. Your student should have signed up for a time slot to work and have been given tickets to sell. Your student can sell the tickets for $10 a piece, these funds will be put into your students account and can be used for their first band payment. We will need parents to help out with the car wash, if you are able (we especially need some power washers to borrow) please sign up here: Car Wash sign up
The first payment is due on June 20th. To make a payment, go to the payment section and enter the password sent via email. If your student is a returning member, you will be able to check their account by using their school student ID. If they are new, their account will not show yet, however, you can still make a payment, just make sure that you include their first and last name in the notes section. We are charged a credit card fee when using Venmo or PayPal, so please add 2% or $2 to your $100 payment to help cover that fee and meet your student’s fee commitment.
Please make sure that you and your student have filled out the commitment letter sent via email and return it into Mr. Dailey. This will ensure that your student will have a part written in the show.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at [email protected].

Good evening band families!
This week the students have rehearsal from 9-1pm on Tuesday. If your student is in guard or percussion, please see the calendar for a full list of rehearsal times.
You hopefully received two sign up genius invites, one for fruit and popsicle breaks for mini camp next week, and another for the car wash. If you did NOT receive them, please send us an email and we will check to ensure you are on the distribution list. If you are able to help out with providing the student’s their fruit break or popsicle break next week, please sign up! The students look forward to these breaks and we help fuel their rehearsal. Also, we need parent help for the upcoming car wash, if you have supplies or are able to help work the car wash, please sign up. If you did not receive the sign up invites, you can access them here: Fruit/Popsicles and Car Wash.
We are also going to start building the props for the show! Here is a note from our Pit Crew/Prop Master Paul:
If you are interested in helping out with Props, I will be at the fieldhouse Tuesday June 11th from 11am-1pm, and then again during mini-camp June 18-19 from 1pm-4pm. I am looking for folks to help organize the Fieldhouse and brainstorm the GIANT casino props Mr Dailey is looking for! Any and all are welcome!
Additionally, looking ahead to the Fall event schedule, if you have a CDL and would have some flexibility to help drive the semi+trailer, please let Jess know and she will connect you to Paul for further info.
Paul
Our pit crew and prop builders have a lot of fun building the props that add visual interest to the marching show. If you are able to help out, head on over to the field house at the school.
Thank you all so much for your willingness to help and invest in our students. I have always said that it takes a village to run a marching band! If you have any questions, please feel free to shoot us an email.
Hawks!
The Apparel Fundraiser is extended one week! We had some technical issues so we thought it would be best to give it a little more time as the site is now fixed. It will be over June 12th.
Car Wash Fundraiser Details!
On June 29th from 10 am-2 pm we will be doing our annual car wash fundraiser! We initially planned to get tickets passed out at rehearsal but ran out of time, we I will be giving each student 10 tickets and a suggested script on the 11th. I’m also attaching the PDF of the tickets if you want to get a jump on it and print them out yourselves.
These are “donation tickets” which will go directly to your students account. For making a donation, they will get a complimentary car was on the 29th at North Metro Church! Just tell them to bring their ticket and hand it to a parent so we know they already donated.
Students, to sign up for the car wash to help, follow this google form link: https://forms.gle/qq4ZFxTkWiYUbiDw7
Beyond that, thanks for all of you who came and helped clean out the band room last Saturday, it was a huge help!
We had a GREAT start to our Summer Rehearsals and I couldn’t be more excited for what’s to come this season. We will see everyone on June 11th at 9 am!

Hello everyone!
Just wanted to put out a few reminders:
The Apparel fundraiser only runs through June 5th! If you want anything for the summer and competitive season to represent the band, now is the time to get it! Here is the link again for our shop: https://bsnteamsports.com/shop/GgwbAcTWEe
Saturday is our band cleaning day! 9 am-1 pm we will be reorganizing large equipment, music, instrument storage, outside storage, and will be sorting through a lot of things that need to go. The district has a truck coming out on Monday to pick up whatever needs to go, so this is our only chance to easily reorganize our space for the season! Please meet in the band room at 9 am where we will break into teams and start getting tasks accomplished. The back auditorium doors will be unlocked for entrance.
Remember our new website is Horizonhawks.band and have a few password walls. Please let me know if you have any troubles accessing these locations.
Lastly, our next rehearsal is Tuesday, June 4th at 9 am! Meet in the back parking lot for some visual time, and then we will go inside from 11 am-1 pm. Please let section leaders or myself know if you can’t make the rehearsal, and if not try to make it to June 11th! Contracts need to be signed and turned in to secure your spot in the show, so please make sure to turn those in by the end of mini camp!
Thanks everyone, happy beginning of Summer!

We will be making some changes to our organizational structure to the band room, field house, and storage rooms at HHS on JUNE 1st from 9am-1pm!
We could use help organizing, moving equipment, and getting rid of old props and unused odds and ends. This will be a great time to meet some of the other parents, start to get involved, and get things set up to build props and what we need for this marching season.
This will make a huge difference in getting this year started off in the right direction and making sure the band room and our stage space is as functional and effective as possible.
Just show up and jump in. Family, friends, students… all are welcome. Thanks in advance!
