HORIZON BANDS

Good morning band families, 

We hope everyone is getting some much needed rest from a busy Homecoming weekend. The band had a great performance at both the football and parade, they are always a fan favorite!

This email is long, but has all the information you need for the festival, please read this message in its entirety.

We have our first competition on Saturday, September 27th. This is the Legacy Marching Festival held at the Adams 12 Five Star Stadium at 9351 Washington St., Thornton, CO 80229. We need A LOT of help for festivals, please read through this and see if you are able to assist. Each type of volunteer is only a commitment for this specific event, and we will put out a call for volunteers for each following event, festival, or parade. Intrepid parents can try all sorts of different things during the Marching Band season leading up to State Finals. 

– We are in need of 2 more chaperones, please know that there is a lot of walking at festivals. If you can chaperone, sign up here: Chaperone Sign Up

– We are in need of 2 more people to help out with the Hawk Haulers, if you would like to help out with pit crew, sign up here: Hawk Hauler Sign Up

– We will be feeding the students lunch and dinner (if they make finals, which I’m guessing they will, they are doing great!) We need people to provide food, help serve, and help tear down. Please sign up to help with food: Legacy Meal Train

**IMPORTANT NOTE***: Please ensure your student has sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, a water bottle, and layers. After they perform, they will watch other bands. It can get hot during the day sitting in the bleachers. We are outside all day, and they will need to refill water bottles multiple times throughout the day. 

Saturday Schedule:

8:00am – Rehearsal

11:00am – Band departs for stadium

1:30pm – Horizon’s Performance

4:30pm – Prelims awards

5:30pm – Finals begins

9:15pm – Finals awards

FYI: We will find out if the band makes Finals and what time their final performance will be at the Prelims awards. We will post the Finals information on our social media once we know their performance time.

Important Festival Information

Adams12 School District has implemented a CLEAR BAG policy for all stadiums
including Five Star Stadium. Similar to other stadium and sporting events each entrant
will be allowed only one 12”x12”x6” clear bag. Backpacks, coolers, duffle bags, camera
bags, etc. will not be allowed. Refillable water bottles will be permitted as will re-entry to
the venue. Details of this policy can be found at: Adams 12 Stadium Information

Spectator vehicles must park in one of the spectator parking lots west of Washington Street. Please only park in the designated spectator lots, not the surrounding neighborhoods as we had several calls from irate neighbors about their driveways being blocked. Legacy is recommending you arrive at least 1 hour prior to the band’s performance.

The Concessions stand will be open all day and is located on the southwest side of the stadium. Please see the price list below for further details and payment options. The festival will also have spirit wear, programs, and patches available for purchase directly behind the press box (via cash or credit card, no ATM on site).

The information below comes from the Festival organizers.

We want to thank everyone for your support and willingness to provide your time, hard work, and food for these students. It takes a village to support a band program, and we’re thankful that we have a strong village for these incredibly talented students.

GO HAWKS!

Please let us know if you have any questions!

Good afternoon band families,

Thank you for coming out to our Showcase yesterday, it was so much fun to see what the students have been working on, we can’t wait to see how the show evolves through the season, but the Marching Hawks are off to a fantastic start!

Our first marching competition is two weeks away, and we are busy preparing. If your student has food allergies, please shoot us an email and let us know what it is. If they have severe allergies, we would suggest that your student pack their own meals for competition days. We try to accommodate the best we can, however, we would hate for anyone to have a bad reaction to meals that are provided. Next Sunday, we will be attaching the Meal Train for the Legacy Competition, keep a lookout for that.

We have a busy week ahead:

Monday: Rehearsal 6-9pm 

Friday: Homecoming football game (Details to be given by Mr. Dailey)

Saturday: Broomfield Day’s Parade (Details to be given by Mr. Dailey)

**If you ordered a button and did not pick it up, we will have them at rehearsal tomorrow evening from 8-8:50pm, we will be sitting in the stadium**

If you didn’t order a button, but would like one, we have opened up the order form one more time, please fill out this form AND pay by Wednesday 09/17. Button Order Form

We are still in need of volunteers to man the concession stands for the Homecoming Football game this Friday evening, if you would like to help us out with this, sign up here: Homecoming Concessions Sign Up

Our students will be marching in the Broomfield Day’s Parade next Saturday 09/20. Here is a link to the Broomfield Day’s website: Broomfield Day’s Information

Please let us know if you have any questions! Have a great week!

Good afternoon band families! 

We have a lot of information to share so please read the entire email.

First off, we would like to thank everyone who participated in our online fundraising campaign, it has been a huge success. Not only were we able to purchase new field mics, a new sound board and cart, but we were able to purchase new wireless solo mics and new speakers. This is a huge, much needed upgrade for the band. We are grateful for everyone’s generosity and help with this. As we always say, it takes a village to run a music program, and we have a truly amazing village…thank you!

We have a lot happening this week, including our kick off to competition season, our Showcase event.

The HHSBPA has the opportunity to run the concessions stand during the Homecoming football game on Friday, September 19th at the North Stadium. We need 10 parents to volunteer to work the concessions. You would need to be at the stadium at 5:30pm. Unfortunately, you will not be able to watch the halftime show, however, the band will not be performing their entire show. This will help raise money for the band. If you would like to work the concessions, please sign up here: Concessions Sign Up

We are also in need of chaperones for upcoming events, including the Homecoming game. If you would like to chaperone, please sign up here: Chaperone Sign Up

Lastly, the student account’s should all be up to date as of last Tuesday, 9/2. Our HHSBPA Treasurer will make sure that she has updated all the accounts again before the last payment is due on September 26th. After that, she will have the accounts updated by the first of every month. Please be kind and remember that with all the students’ accounts to manage, plus the general fund, we are unable to update every account weekly, as we are entirely a volunteer-based organization and have our own full time employment to provide for our own families. We do our best to run the band’s accounts and greatly appreciate your patience and understanding when things are not updated immediately. If you have questions regarding your account, feel free to email us, if we are unable to answer your question, we will pass your question onto our treasurer. 

If you have any questions, please reach out. We look forward to seeing everyone next Saturday at the Showcase!
