If everyone gets just ONE person to show up to the sale, the music program could potentially make $20,000 or more today!!!

(Also, bragging rights for me at home vs. my wife, the FC director)

Good evening band families!
The students did such a wonderful job at State this weekend, We are so proud of all their hard work! We also want to give a HUGE thank you to all the parents who helped make this season successful, we appreciate everything you did for our students!
We will be celebrating our marching season on Tuesday November 4th at 6pm in the student center. We will have our annual Marching Band Banquet, parents are welcome to come and celebrate. We celebrate with a dessert buffet. Mr. Dailey will assign a dessert category to each section and we ask that you bring something to share within that category. The banquet typically lasts around two hours. We would like to showcase our seniors in our slide show, if you would like to send in a senior photo, along with a baby photo to hhsbands.photos@gmail.com ASAP, we will get them into the slide show.
Our mattress fundraiser will be held at the school on Saturday November 1st from 10am-5pm. Mr. Dailey will have sign up times for the students this week.
We have kicked off our annual Butter Braids sale. This is an individual fundraiser, meaning funds from sales that your student makes will go into their student account. You can use the paper order forms, however, they prefer and encourage the use of the online forms. Here is the link to the online form: https://store.myfundraisingplace.com/RegisterSeller/13c71e38-9b9b-48a0-9e22-c88928178b3e
Our next restaurant night will be on Monday November 10 at Chipotle at the Orchard from 5-9pm, mention you are with the band and will get a portion of that night’s sales.
This Friday, the students will play at the last football game. They will not be performing their show, however, it is a graded performance, so please make sure your student attends the game. They are encouraged to wear school appropriate costumes to the game.
We are asking for help with uniforms on Friday. A bunch of band parents will be meeting at the school on Friday at 5pm to gather the students’ uniform pants to clean them. If you are able to help, please meet us at the uniform closet at 5pm.
If you haven’t yet sent us a screenshot of your King Soopers Rewards, please do that by Tuesday November 4th.
Please let us know if you have any questions!
Nice job today all, we have one shot tomorrow to improve and show what we’re made of, so let’s make sure to take advantage of our opportunity! 8 bands were eliminated from competition today and we weren’t one of them, and we’re within 1-2 points of the next three groups up! Honestly, it will all come down to execution of details.
Here’s the recording of today’s show (the video may still be processing but will be ready soon): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cMbZUwVZdFysFoJqxa0aRMTC0V7f_6p-/view?usp=drivesdk
Going into tomorrow… control, control, control. The energy has to come from the whole band the way we’ve built our moments, not individuals which we can hear on the recording. Again, the key is consistency across the board. We do well individually score wise, but overall we don’t put out a congealed effort that all worked. Let’s tighten up the time, tighten up the focus, and play tomorrow show at 1:15 pm like it’s our last!
Call time for those of you staying in the springs is 10 am, and the rest of the band will be back at the school at 7:30 am to load up and depart by 8 am. Make sure to set those alarms!
– Mr. Dailey

🥁 Winter Percussion is Coming!
Want to keep your chops up after marching band? Winter Percussion is your chance! Everyone who wants to join will have a spot — placements will be based on your attendance, participation at clinics, and your audition.
Before you jump in:
-Talk with your parents now so they know what to expect!
-Rehearsals move fast — if you struggled with practice or time management this fall, indoor will be a bigger challenge.
-All rehearsals and competitions are mandatory, and we’ll expect everyone to stay committed and on top of schoolwork.
-If you’re not sure what the commitment looks like or want to talk through expectations, reach out to me on the Band app.
We will be rehearsing on Tuesdays and Thursdays with a handful of Saturdays. I’m working on finalizing the schedule and the staff right now, but audition materials will be released soon as we will only have one week of clinics and auditions on a Saturday to wrap it up!
Let’s make this our strongest winter season yet!
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSesKLtPvb-jjsZjoiJhPzRVLeXP9IgMWqR6gbITYvzU_UgcOQ/viewform
Winter Guard is also coming soon! Rehearsals will be on Mondays and Wednesdays and we're hoping to have a big team, so please consider joining and talk to a color guard captain or Margo for more information!
Wind players are more than welcome to join these groups, no prior experience with guard or percussion is necessary, just a great attitude! Tell your friends (especially orchestra and choir friends who are musically inclined) who are interested in joining the band program!
Thanks all and I'm looking forward to a great end of our season, let's continue the focus and finish strong!

Hey all! Please make sure to check out all of the info below!
Great job over the weekend and on Monday, we will soon know exactly where we stand in 5A going into the State competitions, but I'm assuming it'll be 8th or 9th seed based off of the scores from the season.
We have to keep the momentum up and that starts back up on Saturday from 8 am-12 pm. I hope you've enjoyed the last few days off and are refreshed and ready to get back to work!
Cleaning and excellence continue to be the priority with some changes to the show mostly happening this Saturday and then we will continue to clean through the week. Please arrive to rehearsal around 7:30-7:45 so we can get everything set up quickly!
If you and your student are staying in the Springs on Friday night, please fill out this google form: https://forms.gle/eRSuu1cneQCsbpcv8
***Please have a plan to drop off your student on that Friday to the school so their cars are not parked at HHS overnight as we cannot guarantee the safety of those vehicles left while we're down in the Springs.
CSU Honor Band recordings are due tomorrow!
For those interested, it's a great opportunity and is a great prep for auditions and All State that will be due in November. Here's that info again: https://music.colostate.edu/bands/honor-band/
Here is the video from Monday's Regional performance!

Take a look and continue to find goals you want to focus on as we get into our LAST WEEK of the season!
Permission slips will go out on Monday to the students and teachers will be notified of their Friday absence, so please keep an eye out for those and communicate to your teachers asap if there are any test, summative assignments that day!
See you all on Saturday!
