Hi all - Put this date on your calendar: Saturday, October 28. It is the date for our next fundraiser called Tag Day. On Tag Day, band students, color guard and majorettes will wear their uniforms and ask for contributions in front of local businesses. In exchange for a donation, they are given a "tag" which states "Thanks for supporting the Howell Band". They will have a bucket for contributions, and may have a folding "Support the Howell Band" sign. Traditionally, this has been our biggest fundraiser, so please have your child participate! Money the students earn can be used to pay for band camp, lessons, instruments, the band trip next year, etc. We will need parental help with driving the kids to various locations in town. More information on this to come, but save the date on your calendar!

Tag Day is going to be held the same day as "The Legend of Sleepy Howell" so downtown should be bustling with activity. The organizers are looking for some drumline members to lead a parade around 5:30 pm of kids in costume. Let me know if you are interested in that.
