Weekly Updates!

Band Booster Meeting: this Wednesday, January 15th at 6:30 pm in the band room
Hope to see you at the band booster meeting on Wednesday - all are welcome!  A few things we need specific help with:


Band trailer - Chris and Tawnya Benn have graciously and wonderfully taken care of and hauled our band trailer for the past 2 years.  However, their daughter is graduating and they are looking for someone to take over next year.  If interested, please attend the next band booster meeting for more info or contact Tawnya Benn at sprout1809@gmail.com

Band trailer sponsorships - the trailer was purchased almost 5 years ago thanks to generous donations by our sponsors.  Those sponsorships will expire this year and we are looking for potential sponsors and/or someone to help solicit business or individual sponsorships.  If you're interested, contact Christyne MacDermaid at 734-476-0312

New York Trip Deadlines:
3rd payment ($255) and Charms requests for 3rd payment are due by Monday, January 20th!  


Room sign ups will be posted in the band room for students to sign up on January 22nd and finalized by January 24th.  You must have a minimum of $510 paid by January 20th and all paperwork turned in to sign up for a room.  

If you are using Charms for your 3rd or 4th payments, we must have requests no later than Friday, February14th so that they can be processed in time for the final February 20th payment.  Charms request forms are available in the band room and on page 14 of the packet.  You can also find payment coupons on page 13 of the packet if you need to mail your payment to the trip company.  Thank you!!!

New Fundraiser - Howell Crates
We are selling Howell crates for $30 each ($15 of which will go directly to the HHS band student who sold it to you.)  If you do not request a band member, the money will go back to the Band Boosters to help support things like repairing equipment, our band trailer needs, and buying new vests or jackets for the band. 

Payment is required upon pick up/delivery of the crate. If you need further information, please contact Monica Hacker at Hackerm@howellschools.com.
