A message from our Band Boosters about the Basket Raffle for the First Concert:
Hello band families!!
There will be a basket raffle before the band concert on Wednesday, October 21st!! We are looking for donations. You can choose any theme (school appropriate) for your "basket" and may include one or several items. It does not have to be in a basket.......just needs to be packaged or in an envelope for our winners to take home. The possibilities are endless.......
Gift cards, fall themed basket, Howell spirit basket, candy, etc.
If you'd like to donate a "basket", please contact Laura Allegoet lallegoet@att.net or text (586) 214-4986.
Thank you!!!

NYC Trip Meeting:
Thursday October 15th at 7pm in the HHS Band Room is the info meeting for this school year's band trip (for newcomers - the program has an optional band trip every two years).
A summary of what was discussed will be available on the blog along with the digital version of the trip's packet shortly after the meeting. The packet will also be available in the sheet shack in the band room and at the First Band Concert .
First Band Concert:
Wednesday, October 21st at 7pm in the HHS / Rod Bushey Auditorium. The theme is "Forces of Nature" and the concert will show all the concert ensembles, including the marching band.
Dress Code: "Dress nicely". This means NO TSHIRTS, SWEATSHIRTS/PANTS, JEANS, OR TENNIS SHOES. Obviously this also means that all clothing needs to be school appropriate as well. Gentlemen - a nice shirt and tie with slacks or khakis will do. Ladies - a nice blouse or sweater with a skirt or slacks put you in the clear. You will be changing into your uniform during the concert after you perform if you are in marching band, so bring your marching uniform (the season's black, fitness / pj shorts, all black socks and all black shoes).
Report Time For All: 6:30pm - Show up already in your nice outfit. :)
Uniforms:
Students - please make sure you remove everything from your uniforms (i.e. cell phones, wallets, money, keys, etc.) before you hand them in. This will help with the turn in and will make everyone's hand-in smoother. If you do forget an item, please don't cut in line and return to the back of the line. Thanks!
Here is a video to show you how to put your uniform back on it's hanger (which if done correctly, will help reduce the time handing the uniforms in):
Senior Show Drillbook Next App Info:
For those who have the app for marching band, this info was shared on the Facebook Page when Karn Evil 9 was introduced. All 3 songs are uploaded on the app currently.

Search for "Jade" - it will come up under that (so you don't have to search thru 30+ HHS on the small screen).
