Some important dates coming up…


New York Trip Meeting

Tuesday, October 11-7p.m., HHS Band Room

This will be an informative meeting to discuss our Biennial Band Trip. The trip is open to any student who is enrolled in a 9-12 Instrumental Music Class at Howell High School.

We will have a preliminary itinerary, payment info/schedule and will answer questions.


Fall Concert

Tuesday, October 18-7p.m., HHS Auditorium

Performances by the HHS Concert Band, Symphonic Band and Wind Ensemble

This concert is going to be particularly cool since we will have THE MARCHING BAND PERFORMING for an extremely rare indoor performance (Don't forget your black socks and marching shoes!!!). We have a plan for a "Grande Entrance". I think everyone is going to enjoy it! Dress for the first part (Non marching band) portion of the concert is "Dress nicely". This means no blue jeans, t-shirts, sweatshirts, or tennis shoes. Good choices for gentlemen include School appropriate shirt and tie, sweater, slacks (Corduroy, khaki, etc.). Good choices for ladies include school appropriate skirts or slacks, blouses or sweaters, or snazzy school appropriate tops. As is customary, our regular concert uniforms will be passed out/ordered for our holiday concert.

Bake Sale before and after concert to help fund our Band Program

Donations of Bake Goods needed!!!! Please contact Christyne MacDermaid at christynemacdermaid@yahoo.com to sign up!
