Hello everyone! 

Here is some information about the upcoming days:


Pep band this week will be AT Pinckney Hs.  This is an optional performance engagement, but many many band members enjoy the opportunity to be a little more relaxed and go to the away games.  Students have to find ride to the site, but they get in for free IF THEY ARE WEARING THEIR HHS BAND SHIRT FOR THIS YEAR.  If your child needs a ride, see Mr. Smigell or ms. Kimball and they will try and help you find one.  Report time is 6:30 at the main ticket gate in Pinckney.

We will be staying as a group at the game until halftime at which point, students will be dismissed to go back and see the UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS MARCHING MINUTEMEN.  They are performing at the HOWELL HS Stadium somewhere between 9 and 9:30 pm (this is a little sketchy due to their arrival time window and ours as well).  Although attendance for band members is optional, EVERYONE IS INVITED!! Please bring any family or friends to come see them.  They are quite good and would appreciate the audience. The performance is free.

There is no rehearsal this Friday.

Rehearsal for next week will be as follows

Monday 9/20/2010  6:30pm-9pm

Tuesday-Thursdays 2:30-3:30

Friday: TBA but be ready for this to be the LONGEST DAY OF THE YEAR if you are a marching band member.  There is a pep rally 6th hour, a parade at 5 and a game at 7.  We feed them dinner in there somewhere, but students will need to come to school WITH EVERYTHING THEY NEED FOR THE ENTIRE DAY.  Much much more info coming very soon on this.


Ok... that's it for now.

Go Highlanders!
