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.

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!

Update from BAND: Fri June 6, 2025 10:57am

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!

Weekly Update June 1st

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!

Weekly Update May 26th

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!

HHSBPA Update

Content Update May 22st

Hello Band Families –

There is a new BAND.us app that is different than the one from last year. The links and invites have all been updated on the BAND setup page here on this site. Mr. Dailey has shared the update invite link in the BAND app.

Go to the old app (where you may have already had access) and join the new app.

If none of this makes sense or you are new to the HHS Band program, more details will be shared tonight at the Marching Band Parent meeting in the Auditorium from 6:30-7:30pm.

See you there!
