Friday Home Game - September 18th - 8th Grader Night // School Year Tentative Calendar

Here is the Full Band Program Event Calendar:


* Please mark your own calendar. Take note of the very important events (i.e. Home Football Games, Concerts, Parades, and Festival).

For now and forever, Monday Night Practices are 6pm - 8:30pm instead 6:30pm - 9pm (we only went that long if we were behind).

This Friday's September 18th Home Game Facts*:

We are hosting the district's 8th graders this game. YES to 8th Graders! (They ARE marching!)

Tonight's weather calls for rain / storms — be prepared to get wet .  If it rains,  we march in ponchos.  If it storms,  expect delays like the first home game. Keep an eye on Facebook and the blog for updates.  Everything but the kickoff will go as scheduled if it is storming.

Report Time: 4:30pm @ HHS Football Stadium
Tail Gate: 5:30pm - We are still in need of donations, especially since we are feeding the 8th graders and their family. Donation Sign-Up Link: Sign-Up Page // Mirror Link  // Mirror Link 2 If you are not donating, we ask for $3 per person to help pay for the costs of the tailgate. Thank you!
Dress in Uniform: ~6pm / As soon as the student is done eating
Parade to the Stadium: ~6:15pm / 6:20pm
Pre-Game: ~6:45pm
Post-Game / March Back: ~9pm (Depends on weather, injuries, time outs, overtime, etc. )

* - As weather permits (the first game was a perfect example about how Michigan weather can change and forces us to make changes of plans on the fly. (Follow the Blog and/or Facebook Pages for any updates due to weather.))

As always - the uniform is all black socks and shoes. Anything worn under the band uniform must not be seen or alter the form of the uniform (i.e. really baggy pants that make your marching pants look stuffed / falls out on the bottom of your pant legs or a turtleneck (or w/e shirt) that can be seen from the top of your uniform or the end of the sleeves. Students typically wear the current (or past) season's band shirt and (work out / PJ) shorts under their uniform.
