HOWELL HIGH SCHOOL BANDS FAQ SECTION:

#1 Can I still sign up for band camp?

YES YOU CAN!!! bring $165.00 to the high school with name, address, what instrument you play, and what year in high school you will be next year attached on a piece of paper and leave it c/o Jason Smigell, Band Camp!  No form needed!  You can still sign up, Mr. Stimson is writing a few extra spots for the band in anticipation of latecomers.  However, once the spots are gone, you will be unable to march the first show, which this year is half the season.

 
#2. Do I have to go to band camp?
YES!!  There are some exceptions, but you must get in touch with Mr Smigell SOON.  Band camp is going to be especially important this year because we will be learning most of the show for FESTIVAL

#3 Are we going to marching festival? 
YES.  It will october 5th.  We will be learning the show at band camp.  This show will be much longer and complex than our normal shows.  We will be showing a portion of it at the first game, a portion of it at the second game and perhaps the whole thing at homecoming pregame. 

#4 Won't it suck to have only one show all year
See question 5

#5 How many shows are we doing this year?
3 shows: The festival which we will be working on the first half of the season.  A short middle school play along show with the eighth graders, and a super sweet senior show to finish the season.

#6. When is band camp and the schedule and all the other stuff that has been sent out at least 3 times by Mr Smigell, the boosters and word of mouth?

No problem, I will be attaching them as soon as I figure out how to attach things to the blog.

#7 is there another band director this year?

YES, his name Jim Shouldice joins us for band camp and the whole year as another fine addition to the Howell Instrumental Music Program.
