Hey Hawks! Here is the schedule for Friday night's Homecoming game!!
Football Game 9/13:
5:00 pm- Call time at HHS
5:30 pm- Depart for North Stadium 12500 Delaware St, Westminster, CO 80234
5:45 pm- Arrive at North and unload, get ready for warm up and pre-show
6:45 pm- Step off for pre-show and Star Spangled Banner
7:00 pm- Kick off
7:50ish pm- Halftime Show
10:00ish pm- Depart for HHS to unload and dismiss
There will be fireworks at the game, so the North lot will be closed. The logistics of this game are a bit more complex since it's homecoming, so I'd suggest arriving early for a spot, the stands will be full quickly! We are only doing the second and third movement from the show, and will do no props since half time has a lot going on.
Also, attached is the video for the fourth movement! We will begin putting this on the field tomorrow! #marching_hawks

September 6th 9News Live Broadcast Segment
Hey All –
As we all know, the HHS Marching Hawks had an early morning today. And some parents were along for the ride (metaphorically and literally).
But it was worth it! A beautiful morning and the band sounded amazing.
Here is the link to the 9news.com Segment.
Go Hawks!

Good morning Hawks!
Just wanted to shoutout everyone who showed up to rehearsal yesterday. Even though it was your day off. Your dedication and hard work are improving the band as a whole. Let's keep up the great work!
Also, be sure to check out the new drone footage I took of our rehearsal. Still no audio, but it's a great visual aid to help us see how we're progressing. Find your dot and analyze your movements to identify areas for improvement.

Director Update September 3rd
Hello Band Families!
I hope you had a fantastic long weekend and got plenty of rest and relaxation! We’re diving into an action-packed week ahead, with rehearsals, our first performance, a game, and a parade lined up! This is going to be our busiest week yet, but things will settle down a bit before homecoming and our first competition the week after. Check out the daily schedule and a few important reminders below to stay on top of everything!
Rehearsal tonight 9/3
5:30-9:00 pm- We are going to learn our entire third movement and review a lot of the great work we did last week! We will be starting on the parking lot and then moving to the turf field at 6:00 pm.
WINDS ONLY- CMEA Rehearsal 9/4
3:30-5:30 pm- We have two new pieces to learn and we will continue to dig into our rep! We have about 37 minutes of total music so these rehearsals are important to get a head start during marching season!
Our CMEA performance is scheduled for February 1st at 11:00 am. I’m working out the details of this trip, but we will probably need to stay down in the Springs that Friday night to prepare. I will update you all when I know more!
Football Game 9/5:
5:00 pm- Call time at HHS
5:30 pm- Depart for North Stadium 12500 Delaware St, Westminster, CO 80234
5:45 pm- Arrive at North and unload, get ready for warm up and pre-show
6:45 pm- Step off for pre-show and Star Spangled Banner
7:00 pm- Kick off
7:50ish pm- Halftime Show
UPDATE- Because of the early morning News Cast, we will be leaving AFTER 3rd quarter. After Halftime, students will go back to the stands, play for one more quarter while we pack up and then we will head back to HHS.
9News Telecast:
I understand the call time is early and the timing is less than ideal with the game the night before. However, this year’s exposure for our program is a fantastic opportunity to showcase our incredible students. This is a unique chance, as they select different groups each year, so we want to make the most of it and maximize the potential of this opportunity.
5:00-5:15 am call time (sorry!), no earlier please as the building will be unarmed right at 5 am and we will not be let in before that.
5:30 am- Stage in the auditorium for the telecast, we will go through 4 segments, interviews, and other things that will play alongside our story on 9News that morning!
The students will be excused 1st and 2nd hour, however if we get done earlier they will return to class after we’re done.
Arvada Harvest Festival Parade 9/7:
7:30 am- Call Time
8:00 am- Depart for Stenger Soccer parking lot at Oak St, from Kipling Parkway and W 56th Pl. (Staging Area)
8:45 am- Arrive at the staging area and get into warm up. Horizon is number 51 in the parade order, and the 6th band in the parade!
9:00 am- parade starts!
10:30- 11:00 am- Horizon finishes the parade, gets a snack, and heads back to HHS
11:30 am-12:00 pm- Arrive back at HHS and dismiss!
More parade information about the route and spectator parking can be found here: https://arvadaharvestfestivalparade.com/parade/
Show Shirts:
Last chance for show shirts! Closes TONIGHT:
