Pictures, Pep Band, and Enrichment Project
Enrichment Project:
This is for all classes (but marching band) - if you are in multiple classes, you only need to do one.
Purpose: To help each student help themselves get better and build skill in their instrument through selecting and completing an individual project.
Success: Being able to recognize and identify personal musical improvements resulting from the project, and being able to demonstrate this for an audience, teachers, or judge.
What Counts:
The Marching Band Ensemble Pictures:
Prices:
Large Print - $7
Individual - $3
Forms and information (who to write the checks to, etc.) will be announced on Monday.
Pep Band Saturday Afternoon - Saturday, October 29th:
When: Saturday - Oct 29th @1pm - End (~4pm unless a shut out, weather, time outs, etc.)
Where: Detroit Catholic Central HS - 27225 Wixom Rd, Novi, MI 48374 // Meeting at Visitor Gate
What (to wear / bring): Instrument, Flip-Folder of Music (Upperclassmen bring any extra music you have from the past yrs to help with the new members), W/E your instrument may need (extra reeds, valve oil, etc.) and you MUST wear this seasons' MB shirt (The Who!)
Pep Band is not required - it goes towards your band letter / medals and it is fun. ^.^ You meet Mr.Smigell at the gates at 12:30pm to get in free (for students - parents must pay ~$5 at the admission gate to enter). Mr. Smigell will be at the game the whole time. Students are responsible for their own transportation to and from Novi (ask if you need a ride - Smigell will help you find a ride with another student (don't be afraid to ask)). Be sure to bring home your instrument Friday after school - there will be no way to get into the band room Friday evening (and remember to bring them back to school on Monday). Parents are welcome to cheer on the band / football team.
It is really important that we all go in together - because they are being strict about it.
**If it rains, we will cancel Pep Band - Check the Blog / Facebook before you leave!**

Two big deadlines coming up PLEASE READ!
Hello everyone! This post will edited when a little more information is compiled. I wanted to make sure people knew about two important deadlines that are fast approaching.
#1. EMU Clinic Day
http://www.emich.edu/musicdance/ensembles/bands/index.php
This is the link to the online form to register for EMU clinic day. We have sent many kids to this in the past and they have learned tons. Kids also have an opportunity if they wish to participate in the EMU honors band. Why do EMU clinic day you ask? It is an easy and early event to attend that counts toward each an HHS band student's ENRICHMENT PROJECT (every student has to complete one. There are many ways to do so, more info on that very very soon). It does cost money. Information is available at the link. THE DEADLINE TO SIGN UP IS THIS SATURDAY. The event itself takes place 11/12/2016.
#2. MSBOA Solo and ensemble.
The deadline to sign up for solo and ensemble is Monday (Halloween). The money is due by Tuesday, 11/1/2016.
Solo $10
Duet $18 (for both not apiece)
Trios, quartets etc.... $8 per kid
THE ACTUAL EVENT IS HELD IN BRIGHTON ON JANUARY 13th and 14th, 2016.
Solo and ensemble also fulfills the HHS Bands Enrichment Project.
More info to come, but I wanted to get these dates out there.

UofM Hockey Band
Report time is now 4:45pm at HHS due to Saturday being the Homecoming for football and a volleyball game around the same time of the hockey game - so sharing of the parking. We want to get there early enough to find a spot in time for the game.
Attire:
Smigell has mentioned this a few times but there has been some confusion.
Students are to wear neutral or UofM school colors to the game. This includes black, grey, white, blue, gold and yellow. They can wear either jeans or pants (no holes/stains and presentable please) and a long / short sleeved shirt (most students wear jeans and a long sleeved shirt cause they get chilly).
The rivals colors are black / gold / silver - so the more blue you have on, the better.
No UofM rival gear - which includes (but is not limited to) MSU / OSU / Norte Dame / etc. This is a UofM gig - if a student isn't able to represent UofM then this gig isn't for them (they won't be able to get access). (I am a MSU grad and will be showing up in black pants and a blue / gold shirt).
Each student will get a UofM band t-shirt - but it will be at the game once we get our instruments in our area. The shirts will be handed out with the meal (or meal pass) the UofM staff members gives us.
Each student must have a permission slip signed and handed in, in order to go. This includes the students who have their parents coming to chaperone. Permission slips have been handed out and is posted in the blog post made earlier this week (I'm posting this on my phone so I can't do that fancy linking like I do on my computer in IL).

HHS Mega BlogPost
Busy week coming up! These are the HHS events coming up this week (and one next week).
Yes - there IS marching band practice tomorrow after school (Weds, Oct 19th). They will be practicing getting on and off the stage and volume control of the songs.
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. :)
We need parents to come help with the uniforms - the more the merrier, so they can get in and out of them at a decent rate. They need to be passed out to the students before the concert and collected after the concert. If you can help out, come to the uniform closet in the band room before / after the concert. :) Contact Christyne MacDermaid at (734) 476-0312 if you can help out / have any questions.
First Concert Basket Raffle:
Every first concert we do an Annual Basket Raffle when the students are changing into their Marching Band uniform. Super fun, cool baskets and it helps raise money for our program!
Each year during this event we hold a basket raffle. It's one of the main fundraisers for the Band Boosters to help us with our work supporting the band program. This year we have a fantastic array of baskets for you to consider.
Purchase your tickets and enter the raffle from 6:30-7:00ish - while waiting for the concert to begin.
Mr. Smigell will be announcing winners during the stage clearing before the marching band performance.
We’re also doing something different this year. We’re featuring tailgate baskets for both MSU and U of M. We’ll tally the team with the most tickets and announce both the winning team and the basket winner.
Here’s a sneak peek at what will be available, so you can plan ahead which basket you want to go for!
• MSU Tailgate (with tickets!)
• U of M Tailgate (with tickets!)
• Seasonal Centerpiece
• Halloween Centerpiece
• Halloween Table Display

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!
