Hello Marching Hawks!

We are so excited to get the season started next week with you at Band Camp! Remember, we will be starting every day from 8:00 am- 5:00 pm at the school starting July 28th. Please plan to arrive no later than 7:45 am to get things ready and set up to begin rehearsal promptly at 8:00 am.

Lunch will be on your own for one hour every day from 12:00-1:00 pm.

Don't forget:
Athletic clothing
Closed Toed athletic shoes
Water (preferably 32 oz or larger containers)
Sunscreen
Hat
Phones for Ultimate Drill Book and Beam
Music, warm up books, and a pencil
A good attitude and a willingness to learn new things!

PARENTS – PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR STUDENTS ARE EATING BREAKFAST AND HYDRATING THE NIGHT BEFORE EACH REHEARSAL! This will help ensure they have goon energy and stamina to last the entire day outside and inside!

***New this year- The Show and Tell will be in week TWO of band camp, August 8th at 6 pm.

Week two of camp is 3:00-6:00 pm on August 4, 5, and 6. Sectionals 12:00-3:00 pm on the 7th (back to school night so no night rehearsal), and August 8th 3:00-6:00 pm with the show and tell after.

Monday night rehearsals will begin August 18th from 6:00-9:00 pm at HHS on the turf field. For all other dates please keep an eye on the band calendar for other fundraisers, events like Mile of Money, and the ever approaching Football and Competition season!

Weekly Update July 13th

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.

Hey Hawks!

Last mini camp this week! Tomorrow and Wednesday 9a-4p at HHS! I believe that with the construction, we should now be entering in through the back auditorium entrance.

Students- please hydrate now and tonight to be ready for tomorrow. Also, make sure we are wearing appropriate athletic clothing, with how hot it’s been jeans are not a good option, or flexible enough for marching.

Contracts and deposits are due this week, check out the previous posts or go to horizon hawks.band to pay fees. These will guarantee your spot in the marching show!

The CustomInk fundraiser ends Wendesday! We sold enough shirts to run that fundraiser, but not the other items yet. Last chance to grab those items!

See you all tomorrow!

Weekly Update June 15th

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!

Weekly Update June 8th

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!

Hey all! A few important things as we are approaching the weekend:

Here are the updated parts, AND the transposed solos for the show:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1zzJNJkGYILK5Did9Z4if89uDgwkJd86j?usp=sharing
Bb instruments can just read the trumpet part for the first movement solo, and I transposed only to instruments that will be able to also audition for each marked solo. Pre-show alto solo, trumpet solo, and baritone/low brass solos for movement 1 and a few alternate parts in the woodwind quartet in movement 2. The alto flute solo now has a normal flute part for flutes auditioning for that as well, we will transfer it back to alto flute later in the season.

Final reminder, sign up for the car wash fundraiser if you haven't yet and are available, and thanks for those of you who have!!

For the Podcast Fans:
If you've made it this far—thank you! I wanted to share a podcast you might enjoy. It’s called Band Dads by Scott Lang (some of our leadership students have worked with him before). The show is all about band life from a parent’s perspective, covering a wide range of interesting and relevant topics.

Sorry for the late post! Looks like the construction team didn’t follow the map. Please drop off/park on the front of the school instead tomorrow morning. Either walk to the theater entrance or come through the front doors to go to the band room to start. Thanks for your flexibility!
