LCHB Practice is Cancelled and Performance Postponed

Hello all,


Unfortunately with all the snow days, we have to move the LCHB performance.  A new time has not been selected.  With at least one of the Livingston county districts having finals moved to next Monday, we decided to try and reschedule for later.  Stay tuned.  Practice for tonight is also cancelled.  Very sorry folks.

Booster Meeting, MB Uniform Sale Extended & Reminders

A message from Laura Allegoet - 

Hello band families!

Just a reminder that there is a band booster meeting this Wednesday, January 9th at 6:30 p.m. in the band room area (most likely the choir room).

We have extended the marching band uniform sale until Friday, January 18th.  Order form is below.  Get your piece of Howell High marching band history while you can!  Hat and plume make a great display for graduation memorabilia tables and the sash would be great to hang or frame with a diploma.  Some families are having the full uniform made into a tote bag!  Please note that we cannot guarantee that you will receive the uniform that your student wore.

Solo & Ensemble is January 18th and 19th at Brighton High School.  If your student signed up, their performance time is posted in the band room.  Good luck to everyone!

Pre-festival Concert is Thursday, February 21st at 7 p.m. in the Rod Bushey Auditorium.  We are still waiting to find out what dates we will be performing at Festival in March and will pass that info on as soon as we have it.

Questions?  Contact Laura at allegoel@howellschools.com     Thank you!
