Good evening band families!
This email contains a lot of information, please read it all the way to the end.
Snack & Water Donations
We need more snacks and water. We feed the students a snack at all football games and some of the competitions. We also take water to every event we go to in order to keep the students hydrated. We are looking for individually wrapped snacks like goldfish, granola bars, fruit snacks, etc. If you would like to donate either snacks or water, you can bring them to the school on Friday between 3pm – 4pm.
Football Concessions
The band parents will be staffing the concession stands at the football game on Friday September 4th. This is an easy way for us to earn some extra money for the band. We need to staff both the home and guest concession stands and are looking for 9 volunteers. We need to be there early (as close to 5:30pm as possible) to get set-up. We will run the stands until the middle of the fourth quarter. If you would like to help us out, please sign up here:
Pit Crew
We also need help with our pit crew for Friday night’s game. The pit crew/Hawk Haulers, help the students take out all the equipment needed for the show. If you would like to help with pit crew, please sign up here:
Horizon Band Merchandise
If you would like to purchase any Horizon Band Merchandise, follow the Zeffy link below. Please note that September 4th will be the LAST day that you can purchase buttons, hats and yard signs. If you have ordered swag bags or shopping bags, but have not received it yet, Ashly will be at the school at the end of tomorrow afternoon’s rehearsal, at 5pm. You can pick up those items from her.
Buttons
All band members will have their photo taken on Friday before they leave for the football game. These photos will be used to create the buttons, we are hoping to have the buttons finished and ready to hand out at the Showcase on Saturday September 12th. Please use the above Zeffy link to purchase your buttons.
Senior Banners
Senior banners are set to be finished on Thursday. We will hang them up at the stadium before the game on Friday. Parents are responsible for taking them down and bringing them to all other games and the Showcase.
The Showcase
This year’s Showcase event will be held on Saturday September 12th at Horizon High School. It will begin at 2pm with our tailgate. This year you may purchase a Chick-Fi-La sandwich, chips, cookie and drink for $8. If your student would like a meal, please be sure to purchase one for them. This is a fun time to hang out with other band parents, play yard games and socialize before we head into the stadium to watch the show. This event is held one week before the student’s first marching competition. It is great for them to perform in front of an audience! We do charge $5 to get into the show (kids 12 and under are free). Please use the Zeffy link to purchase tickets. All meal tickets must be purchased in advance by Wednesday September 9th by 8pm. We will only order the number of sandwiches purchased and will not have extra.
