Band Booster meeting is tomorrow, April 1, 2015 at 6:30pm in the band room. We will be cleaning the band room after the meeting. If any students want to help, that would be great and we'll sign for volunteer hours.
New fundraiser starting March 31! The Holly Candle Shoppe fundraiser will run March 31 - April 15; packets will be available in the Howell High School band room. Looking for Mother's Day gifts? Would you like to support a local Howell business? AND help the Howell Band Boosters and band students raise money? Then this fundraiser is for you! Please pick up a packet this week (before Spring Break). The products will be available the first week of May - just in time for Mother's Day!
