Thanks
Hello everyone!
I realize that I don't thank people enough. I am going to try thanking people as they do things for me!
-Thank you Nicole "Jade" Prewett for posting that massive, encyclopedic entr4y telling everyone they need to know about the concert and festival.
-Thanks goes out to Christyne Macdermaid, Pat Creed, and Rochelle Rushlow for coming in today to help me with cleaning up and organizing!!
ok.. more thanks to come! It takes an entire team of people to keep our program running. I am going to try and highlight people more often who help make that happen.
DON'T FORGET TO READ THE ENTRY BELOW REGARDING FESTIVAL AND THE PRE FESTIVAL CONCERT!!!!

Concert and Festival Info including Band Camp 2015 Forms (via download)
Hey All!
Festival Season is among us, as the students prepare for their Festival Concert and their Festival in March.
The Festival Concert is this Thursday, February 26th at 7pm in the HHS Auditorium (Now renamed as "The Rod Bushey Performing Arts Center").
The Concert will have the following groups perform their festival pieces:
- Percussion Ensemble
- Concert Band
- Symphonic Band
- Wind Ensemble
Students are to report in their respective ensemble's uniform at 6:30pm - to warm up, tune, etc.
Festival Info:
Concert Band, Symphonic Band, and Wind Ensemble goes to their MSBOA Festival on Saturday, March 14th. They will be performing at Walled Lake Northern High School.
Each band will report at the Howell High School at separate times. Once attendance is taken, the students will driven via school bus to WLNHS. After their performance and judging, the students will be taken back to HHS via school bus.
It is important that the students arrive at HHS on time and in their respective ensemble's uniform to prevent any tardiness. Students will need to make sure they have their instrument (including any extra needs like reeds, oil, etc.) and sheet music.
Students who are in multiple bands - please talk to Mr. Smigell.
Students are to eat before they arrive - the festival trip for each ensemble is fairly short. There will be snacks / drinks on sale at the festival, in the cafeteria that all of the ensembles wait in for their festival scores. This is totally up to the student whether or not they want to bring money to get something (whether to calm nerves or crave any munchies/thrust after their performance).
