Hello everyone!
HOLY COW WAS THAT A GREAT GAME LAST NIGHT! (This post was edited with new info as of 1:03pm, so read it all again) The kids were fantastic! I was so proud of them! We performed well, they conducted themselves in a classy manner, and we won! (Have I told you lately you are good kids and I am proud of you?) Great job highlanders! Big thanks goes out to the parents who took time out on a Friday to make things happen. There is no way I could run this program without you!
OK.. the NEWSFLASH: Certain dates are being added/ changed to the calendar:
#1. April 29 is no longer Collage, it is the dress rehearsal for Collage. Collage is now two days later, May 1st, 2014.
#2. WE GOT OUR HOCKEY BAND DATE CONFIRMED! Our game this year is November 1st, 2013 University of Michigan vs. Michigan Tech. More info forthcoming...
#3. We are looking at April 23-27, 2014 for the Boston Trip. If you are in any part of the HHS band program, you are eligible to go on this trip. Much more information forthcoming.
And finally, a look at whats ahead:
Next week (9/9 - 9/13):
All day classes have either playing tests (percusssion) or auditions (Bands) starting Tuesday. They were given the audition pieces Friday and will have Monday in class to work on it. We want to get through these auditions as quickly as possible in order to get to the real deal!
Marching band has rehearsal on Monday from 6:30-9pm, Tues-Thurs from 2:30pm-3:30pm. Friday there is no rehearsal, but there is our first away football game pep band gig at Hartland. This is COMPLETELY optional, but a lot of kids do go because it is a blast. They have to find their own ride to and from the game, but they get in for free and are supervised during the game up until the final buzzer). More information on that is forthcoming.
THERE WILL BE A SENIOR MEETING at 6 pm on Monday 9/9 (half hour before MB rehearsal) to discuss the senior show. Please tell all your senior buds that this is on!
OK... hope this helps! We'll see how long I can maintain the super informative posts. I am trying (for the 50th time) to turn over a new leaf :-p (yeah, that's an emote. This is a casual blog :-D )
Go Highlanders!
