The first basketball pep band game is this Friday. Please check in with your student on which games they will be attending. The students were asked to complete a form to chose which games they would play at. Playing at the basketball games are a part of the lettering requirement, as are attending other concerts that they are not playing in, so if your student is wanting to letter in band, they will need to attend these events!
Our January Restaurant Night is this Wednesday at Panda Express at the Orchard from 10am-9pm. Mention you are will the band and we will get a cut of the proceeds. Here’s a link to all the information and the flyer: Panda Express night
This Saturday, our Winter Color Guard will be hosting a Friends and Family Show. The doors open at 5pm. Tickets are $10, kids 12 and under are free.

The Little Caesars fundraiser continues through this week, ALL ORDERS MUST BE TURNED IN BY FRIDAY 01/17. Delivery and pick up of the pizza kits will occur the week of February 3, we will let you know the exact date when Little Caesars gives that to us.
We are beginning to look for corporate sponsors for our bands. We would love to have multiple sponsors to help fund our bands. If your company would like to sponsor the band, or you would be willing to help get our sponsor letter out to companies, please let us know. We currently are in need of a sponsor for some last minute needs for our trip to Ireland, we will be happy to put companies logo on our trip shirt for donations. Please let us know ASAP if you know of a company who would like to help us out.
Lastly, if you student will be continuing with the Horizon band program, I am going to ask you to consider joining our board. We have a couple positions opening up this year and a few that we are adding:
- Chaperone Chair: Helps organize chaperones for all outings such as football games, competitions and festivals. Making sure chaperone bags are stocked.
- Food Chair: Helps organize food for marching competitions and concert festivals as needed
- Concessions Chair: Will organize food and will help staff concessions sold at concerts
- Social Media Person: Will take pictures and maintain social media pages
Members of our board meet (generally) the first Tuesday of every month at 6pm. We do a fantastic job of collaborating and helping each other, so please do not feel you will be on your own to figure things out. It takes a village to support a band program, so we need people to come fill the spots of those parents whose students are graduating. If you are interested in a position, or have questions, please fell free to reach out.
Have a great week!
