Pep Band: This Fri CANCELED!

Where: Novi HS - 24062 Taft Rd, Novi, MI 48375 // Meeting at Visitor Gate

Pep Band is not required - it goes towards your band letter / medals and it is fun. ^.^ You meet Mr.Smigell at the gates at 6:30pm 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 NoviHS (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.

HHS Band Booster Meeting: Sept 5th @6:30pm:
A message from Dean Norton - Band Booster President:
If you’ve never been involved in the Band Boosters, our primary purpose is two-fold: to provide a mechanism for parents to become more deeply involved in band program—thereby enriching student experiences, and to support the program and student activities within the program through fundraising. And we have fun!
We’ve set our meeting date and time for this season as the first Wednesday of each month, at 630PM, in the HHS Band Room. As such our inaugural meeting for this season will be Wednesday, September 5, at 630PM.
We are Parent-Powered and we need you this year. If you meant to be involved last year but couldn’t make it work, this may be your year! If you are new to high school band, come check it out.
I hope you can join us.
Thank you. "
