First Band Concert:
Wednesday, October 19th at 7pm in the HHS / Rod Bushey Auditorium. 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!
Hockey Band:
The HHS Band Program has been invited to substitute for the UofM Hockey Band - and perform in their place for the Saturday, October 22nd Home Game (at Yost Arena, Ann Arbor, MI) vs Michigan Tech.
More information about try outs / practices and the event itself will come soon.

Good Luck on Friday! Remember to drink lots of water all week to prepare for a busy day!

P.S.
Not HHS Band related, but band related - and an interesting / educational view of how much work students put into a show (even though they are hardcore about it :) )
DCI (Which is basically hard-core all summer long competition Marching Band) is getting a TV Show called "Clash of the Corps" on FUSE. Next Wednesday, October 5th @11pm is the premiere episode. I know it's kinda late - but good news! All episodes will be available on their website online too!
Here is the link to their website.
