Band Booster meeting!
Thursday, May 1, in the Parker band room at 7:00. Topics to discuss are nominating and electing board members which is imperative to the future of the Band Boosters. Three positions to fill in order to replace the senior parents leaving. While you may not be interested in a position you may be interested in supporting the program and Mr. Smigell. Next month is the last meeting of the year and then plans for the next school year take place...the move(?), band camp, etc.

Hello Everyone!
Couple of pieces of information for you all:
DRUMLINE:
If you are in drumline or are interested in drumline for next year here here is a little more of the schedule.
Kim (our coach) is just finishing up with finals at EMU next week, so we are doing a one time initial help session (actually playing this time) next monday from 8-9 pm in the Parker Band Room. After checking everyone's schedules, Kim and I found that wednesdays from 4:30-6:30 are best for almost everyone. I realize that this is a church night, but most of the people I asked said that their church functions begin between 7 and 7:30. If there needs to be a little "flex" to make that work, we are cool with that. Audition packets are available at the high school band room and I (Mr. Smigell) will be VISITING BOTH MIDDLE SCHOOLS this Friday, so I will bring along a bunch of audition packets with me to distribute.
DRUM MAJOR CANDIDATES:
If you are at least a sophomore this year (going to be a junior or senior next year) and have been in the marching band at least one year, you are elligible to audition for a position as one of the HHSMB DRUM MAJORS. We have room to take either one or two additional next year, as the most excellent Michael Brown will be returning for his second and senior year as one of our Drum Majors. The first informational and instructional meeting/clinic regarding drum major auditions will be held tomorrow from 3-3:30 PM in the Parker Band room. More info regarding auditions forthcoming.

EIGHTH GRADE BAND STUDENTS.. if you bring someone with you, YOU GET IN FREE!
