Good evening band families!
We hope everyone has recovered from the busy and very amazing marching season and are excited about concert season!
Fees
As we move away from marching season, I would like to remind everyone to please pay their band fees. We currently have 48 students who are not fully paid. Please pay any outstanding balance as the band fees are vital to keeping the band programs running and being able to provide excellent instruction and experiences for our students. Please keep in mind, if your student is planning on participating in winter color guard or winter percussion, they will NOT be able to participate until their band fee is paid. On top of that, fees will be approximately $650 for both winter percussion and guard this year, plus the cost of the uniform. We are looking at needing those fees paid in full (tentatively) by March 1st. This cost is based on having a certain number of students join and may change if that number is not met.
Marching Band Banquet
The marching band banquet is going to be this Thursday at 6pm. We will be having a dessert bar. Each section will be assigned a dessert to bring and share. This year, we will be hosting a silent auction at the banquet. Here is a quick note about what to expect:
Want to own a piece of our Jackpot show? At this weeks’ Celebration, we are going to be selling our Show Props! Everything will be up for sale – Poker Chips, Dice, Vinyl Banners, Decals & Stickers – even the Slot Machine! Format will be a silent auction with a minimum bid (so that we can recoup some of the cost of materials) – think about what you might want to take home to remember our fantastic season!
Private Lessons
If your student is interested in taking private lessons, we now have a list of private lesson instructors. Private lessons could be a great gift to your student this holiday season!
Jazz Festival
Just a quick reminder that Horizon’s Jazz Festival is this Wednesday and Thursday. Horizon’s three jazz bands will play on Wednesday. Parents are welcome to attend this free event.
