BAND CONCERT EDITION OF THE BLOG!! ALSO INFORMATION ABOUT THE PLAYOFF GAME!!
Hello Blog readers!
Tonight there is a concert! Ninth grade band, Symphonic Band, Wind Ensemble, and Percussion class are required to perform tonight. Marching band is not performing tonight.
Report time is 6:30pm for percussion, 9th grade, and Symphonic band. Report time for Wind ensemble is 6:45pm. Dress for the concert is semi formal (no tshirts, sweatshirts, jeans, or tennis shoes). The concert should be a short one, but full of nifty and interesting pieces.
The two days after the concert will be "picture days". During the school day, we will be taking individual photos for composite picture. Students have the option of having their picture in their band uniform or concert attire (formal shirt and pants/skirt). If students want to take the picture in their concert attire, they need to bring it from home (except in the case of the ninth graders. We have extras that they can use just for the picture). Color guard should come in during 2nd or third hour to get their pictures taken.
We have information for the PLAYOFF GAME!!!
We will be traveling to Ann Arbor Pioneer to play them on friday at 7pm. The band will be playing in a pep band format. Dress will be the band tshirt (Wear more underneath for warmth and the band raincoat (we will distribute on the day of the game). Transportation is not provided due to budget cuts. Maps will be provided later in the week.
That's all for now!!

POST FESTIVAL BLOG...
Hello everyone! Well, The Howell Highlander Marching Band attended MSBOA distict IV marching festival yesterday night. The staff and I were very pleased with the results. We received a division II rating (The best being a I, the worst being a V), and qualified for our first medal in over twenty years. The kids performed their very best, and also recieved compliments for being polite and classy. This has been a fantastic maiden voyage for the marching band and we look forward to improving next year. Special thanks to Sherry Dingman, Pat Keeney, Shannon Dingman, Robin Keeney, Sue Baker, Vicky Kihn, and anyone else I forgot for either chaperoning or helping out at the festival (I know I forgot someone... Really sorry!)
SO.... WHAT'S NEXT?!?!?
Great question! Here are some of the things happening over the next few weeks:
NO SCHOOL OR PRACTICE ON THURSDAY OCT. 7
-HOME FOOTBALL GAME THIS FRIDAY vs. South lyon. The eighth graders will be joining us on the field for our annual recruiting performance. Report time for High Schoolers is 5:30pm Report time is 5:45 for 8th graders. Eighth graders, High Schoolers and all parents are invited to partake in tasty food and soft drinks at the booster tailgate outside the band room at approx. 4:30ish.
MONDAY OCT. 11 tryouts for the University of Michigan Hockey Pep Band gig! We will be taking 45 members of the Howell High School band to sub for the U of M hockey pep band on oct. 16 (saturday). Any instrument playing member of the band program may try out for this group. Music will be passed out on Friday for auditions. See entry for oct 16th below for morer details. MB PRACTICE IS ON MONDAY FROM 5-7pm
TUESDAY, OCT 12, WEDNESDAY, OCT 13 and THURSDAY, OCT 14 MANDATORY HOCKEY BAND REHEARSALS FROM 3:30-4:30 If made it into hockey band, you MUST attend 2 of the 3 rehearsals for hockey band. You may only miss if you have an excuse. We have a lot of music to go over, so be ready!
FRIDAY, OCT 15th PEP BAND AT HARTLAND! Transportation is NOT provided, but all members of HHS bands are welcome to join us.
SATURDAY, OCT 16 HOCKEY BAND
The hockey band currently has a report time of 4:30PM at Howell High School. This may change slightly as we get more information. A U of M charter bus will pick us up, take us down to Ann Arbor Michigan. The students will receive a free shirt, hot dog, and drink (You may want to send them with a little cash to supplement). The game will take until 9:30pm. So plan on a return around 11:30PM. Because I am bringing along a school administrator, no chaperones are needed. However, Everyone is invited to join us at the game! Tickets for the game (versus St. Lawrence) are available on the net. Click on www.mgoblue.com for ticket info.
That's it for next week. Couple of other things:
The performance for the UM basketball team is indefinitely on hold. Not enough interest was shown (mostly because it will be on dec 29 and many people are out of town), so we had to pass.
FALL SHOWCASE CONCERT will be on Monday, Oct 25. More information is on the way. Dress will be "nice clothes" (dress casual) for the first concert, and uniform shirts for the remaining concerts. Thus, NEW PARENTS, YOUR CHILD DOES NOT NEED ANY SPECIAL UNIFORM CLOTHING YET... No sweat.
FINAL HOME GAME will be Oct 22. This is also senior night. Anyone interested in helping prepare this special night for our 4 year members please email me at smigellj@howellschools.com.
Ok.... TTFN!
