Band camp is over and the marching season has officially started! The students did such a great job last week, it was great to see their first movement on the field at the Show N’ Tell last week.
This week, the students have rehearsal on Tuesday from 4-7pm. Please remind them to wear a white shirt. 9 News will be there and doing a spotlight piece, it will look really nice to have all the students in white shirts.
We have our first restaurant night this Wednesday at Freddy’s from 4-8pm, see the post below. Make sure to mention that you are with Horizon Band and we will receive 15% of sales. Pass it along to friends, family, co workers, and share it on your social media so we can get a large turn out.
On Saturday August 17th we will have our annual Mile of Money fundraiser at the King Soopers on 136th and Colorado. The students will perform while parents collect donations. We will need a couple volunteers to help collect donations, you can sign up here if you would like to help:
Along with the performance and money collection at King Soopers, we will run an online Mile of Money through Snap Raise. Your students will be asked to provide email addresses of friends/family and Snap Raise will send out an invite to support the band. This is our biggest fundraiser of the year, we usually collect around $20,000 each year for our general fund, which is amazing! Please help support your student in providing email addresses. This will be kicked off once school begins. Mr. Dailey will go over this in band class, we just wanted to give a heads up that it is coming.
We are also asking for snack donations for performances. If you are able to donate individually wrapped snacks or water, please drop it off at Mr. Dailey’s office on Tuesday after rehearsal.
If you have any questions, please let us know.
