New Howell Palooza Date, NYC Trip, Lock-In and Fundraiser Info, and Band Camp Forms

Hey Guys - Spring is here and the NYC trip is less than a month away! Yay! I got a lot of info below for you!

Howell Palooza:

Howell Palooza is a fun night showing off some our nontraditional ensembles - Jazz Band, Percussion Ensemble, School of Rock and our MB's Auxiliary Squad to name a few.

But due to the HHS Choir Program's Festival landing on the original Howell Palooza date, the concert has been rescheduled

Howell Palooza's new date is Wednesday, April 6th at 7pm in the HHS Auditorium.
The Concert's dress rehearsal is Tuesday, April 5th at 5:30pm - 7:30pm in the HHS Auditorium.

NYC Trip:

We need everyone paid in full and forms turned in.  There are many that haven't turned in forms.  We need chaperones to turn in the trip release forms as well as students.  We are very fortunate to have a nurse that volunteers her time to come along on our trips.  She needs any and all information on you in case of emergency.  Even, if you aren't taking medication, we still need to know who to call in an emergency.  If you aren't sure if you turned in forms, or need to know if you still have a balance, please call, text or email Christyne MacDermaid 734-476-0312, christynemacdermaid@gmail.com.  I will get back to you ASAP.

Information for Tony Sacco's Fundraiser:

We are selling $30 meal cards redeemable at Tony Sacco's in Hartland (near Target on M-59). Students are encouraged to take orders from family and friends for the $30 cards from now until April 22nd. Order forms and full payment are due Friday, April 22nd. Please make checks payable to: Tony Sacco's.
The week of April 25th, students will receive their cards to deliver to their customers. Customers may redeem their cards for ONE month. They are valid May 1-31, 2016 for the Hartland location only.

What do we get for $30? Why should I buy one?
The card is good for One 16" specialty pizza, 1 large salad and 1 order of garlic rotolis (amazing bread rolls!!)

Students will receive $13.50 into their band accounts for each card sold! This is an amazing profit for our kids! Also, you can look at it this way--if you buy one for your family--it's as if you are receiving dinner for $16.50! Where else can you go to a sit down restaurant and get dinner for $16.50 plus drinks and tip?

Tony Sacco's also offers carry-out. If you use this card to place a carry-out order your total will be $30. No tax. No tip.

Yes, they are only good for one month, but in that month we have Mother's Day, Memorial Day, no school for Howell on May 13th, many busy nights with spring sports, etc There are many opportunities when you'll wish you had a quick dinner idea. This is a great one!

If you have any questions you can contact Michelle Vincent at mvincentc43@gmail.com
