Important April Info!

I hope everyone had a wonderful spring break!  We're back to school with auditions for next year's band placements starting on Tuesday (April 2nd).  We have a lot of great things happening with Howell bands for the rest of the school year.  Here are a few reminders:

MARCHING BAND CAMP SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATIONS DUE THIS THURSDAY, APRIL 4TH!

Applications are available in the band room and in the March 6th blog post below.  Late applications will not be accepted.  Scholarships are awarded based on financial need.  

A minimum $50 deposit is due by April 24th to sign up for marching band and band camp (August 11th to 15th).  All band camp forms can be found in the band room and March 6th blog post.


HOME SHOW SIGN UP - LOTS OF SPOTS STILL AVAILABLE!  EARN $

The Livingston County Home Show is this weekend (April 5th - 7th).  We need volunteers to help at the concessions stand to raise money for students and the band boosters.  There are two ways you can help.  (1) Students can sign-up for a shift. (We need 3 students per shift.)   Students can either earn money for the Charms account or get credit for community service for National Honor Society if that is what they need.  (2) We also need parents to supervise.  (1 parent per shift.)
The sign-up sheets are in the band room.
Feel free to call or text Katie LaCommare - 248-756-3985 if you have any questions.   

BAND BOOSTER MEETING - THIS WEDNESDAY, APRIL 3RD AT 6:30 P.M. IN THE BAND ROOM

All are welcome!  Also looking for persons interested in serving on the band booster board of directors.  Elections held at the May band booster meeting.  Questions?  Contact our Band Booster Prez, Dean Norton, at howellbandboosters@gmail.com

LIVINGSTON COUNTY HONORS BAND CANCELLED

Unfortunately, due to the large number of snow days and an inability to reschedule, Livingston County Honors Band will not be occuring this year.  Congratulations to the students that were selected.  We are sorry that this talented group wasn't able to perform this year.
