Marching Hawks!

I want to give a shout out and big “congratulations!” to our soloists for the first and second movements!

First Movement: Logan Burdick, Trombone and Casey Coleman, Alto Saxophone
Second Movement: CJ Padilla, Trombone

Thanks so much for everyone who auditioned! The staff was very impressed with the amount of auditions, and the quality of everyone who played, this was a tough decision!

On another note, 9 News has changed their date to come cover the marching band for their story, it will be instead on August 6th from 4-7 pm during our pick up rehearsal! The great news is we will have a lot of the show locked in to show off for the story, so please make this rehearsal a priority!

The 9th grade orientation has been set on August 8th at 4:30 pm, so we will no longer be holding rehearsal this day, and will instead resume our practices when we get back to school on the 12th during class, with our first after school rehearsal on the 19th. Keep up with the calendar in the events tab, or at our website horizonhawks.band

Wonderful job to everyone who made it out to the car wash, you all represented our program with positivity, pride, and did a great job on this fundraiser! Thank you to the parents as well who came to help organize, wash, collect, and be a support to our program!!

Thanks everyone, and see you July 29th at 8 am for our band camp!

Car Wash Final Reminder!

Hey Hawks! I’m excited tomorrow is the fundraiser, make sure you all bring water, sunscreen, appropriate clothing, and get ready to wash some cars!

I will take attendance on the sheet linked in the BAND.app so we know who was helping, and I updated it with most who said they actually weren’t able to make it. We could always use more help, so please still consider signing up for one or both of the shifts using the link in the previous post!

See you tomorrow!

Hawks!

Mini-Camp starts tomorrow and goes through Thursday! 9:00 am in the parking lot to start our day with a lunch break at 12 pm! Music will be after lunch until 4 pm. I’m so excited to get to the next steps in marching and playing the show! I did update your parts. The letters should be correct now as well as some edited parts throughout the show for a lot of the instruments. Not everyone has changed parts, but the formatting errors are much better across the board.

Don’t forget to get your contracts turned in this week, and communicate with myself and your section leaders if you cannot make rehearsal. Final numbers will be submitted after Thursday for drill so we will need all of the commitment forms by then.

Bring sun screen, lots of water, a hat, and a positive attitude to our mini-camp and we will have a great time! We also have Sleep and Irish Tune from County Derry arranged for the winds, so we can look forward to some new music!

See you all tomorrow!

Weekly Update June 16th

Good morning band families, and Happy Father’s Day to all our band dads!

Remember to check the calendar!

This week the students have their mini camp. This is a big week for the students to learn marching technique and begin to work on the show, so please don’t miss it! It looks like the weather will be slightly cooler, but please still plan on your student being out in the sun. They need water, sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, closed toe shoes, their instrument, music and a lunch. The band parents will provide a morning fruit break and an afternoon Popsicle break. Thank you to all those who signed up to help with that, there are just a couple slots left, if you are able to help, sign up here: Fruit/Popsicle sign up.

We will be having our annual car wash on Saturday June 29 at North Metro Church. Your student should have signed up for a time slot to work and have been given tickets to sell. Your student can sell the tickets for $10 a piece, these funds will be put into your students account and can be used for their first band payment. We will need parents to help out with the car wash, if you are able (we especially need some power washers to borrow) please sign up here: Car Wash sign up

The first payment is due on June 20th. To make a payment, go to the payment section and enter the password sent via email. If your student is a returning member, you will be able to check their account by using their school student ID. If they are new, their account will not show yet, however, you can still make a payment, just make sure that you include their first and last name in the notes section. We are charged a credit card fee when using Venmo or PayPal, so please add 2% or $2 to your $100 payment to help cover that fee and meet your student’s fee commitment.

Please make sure that you and your student have filled out the commitment letter sent via email and return it into Mr. Dailey. This will ensure that your student will have a part written in the show.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at [email protected].
