Squad leader day is 8:30am-1pm August 9th (Start in the HHS Band Room for both)  Attendance is mandatory if you wish to be considered for squad leader candidacy.

Newbie day is 8:30am-1pm August 10th.  Attendance is OPTIONAL FOR NEWBIES (although we strongly suggest it simply because it is very helpful) but is MANDATORY FOR SL CANDIDATES.  Everyone should bring their instruments to these days and we suggest you bring a water bottle, sunscreen and comfortable shoes.  We also suggest for the newbies that you wear athletic gear.  In the past we have kids get a little exhausted if they overdress.

As tomorrow is the first of August (holy cow!), You can consider me officially "Back in business".  If you have questions about anything band, please feel free to email me at Smigellj@howellschools.com !!!

GOOOOOO HIGHLANDERS!!!!

This is our schedule for the year.  The first home game is at U of M!!!  We will share how to get tickets for that as well.  The home games are mandatory for Marching Band students. If Mr. Smigell decides to do pep band at an away game, those are optional.  For pep band the student has to take their instrument home, have their own transportation to and from the game, then be able to get their instrument back to school by Monday.  For the home games, we always do a tailgate prior to step-off.  Tailgate help from adults is usually needed starting between 4:30-5pm.  I hope this helps if anyone is planning work schedules for the Fall.

Also, make sure to purchase khaki shorts before they are gone from stores.  These are a uniform requirement for those hot days.  They must be past your fingertips in length, per school dress code policy.

The band folks that answer all of your questions are all enjoying various vacations.  If you have questions, and have FaceBook, pop on over to Howell HS Band FaceBook page and ask away.  If you don’t, feel free to email christynemacdermaid@gmail.com and I’ll answer ASAP.  No question is a bother, or silly, especially when you are new to the program!!!
