Official Festival Info and Panera Fundraiser

Festival Info:

Concert Band, Symphonic Band, and Wind Ensemble goes to their MSBOA Festival on Friday, March 9th (WE) and Saturday, March 10th (CB / SB). They will be performing at Walled Lake Northern High School. This is a mandatory performance for students in the performing bands. 

Each band will report at the Howell High School at separate times. Once attendance is taken, the students will driven via school bus to WLNHS. After their performance and judging, the students will be taken back to HHS via school bus.

It is important that the students arrive at HHS on time and in their respective ensemble's uniform to prevent any tardiness. Students will need to make sure they have their instrument (including any extra needs like reeds, oil, etc.) and sheet music.

Students who are in multiple bands - please talk to Mr. Smigell.

Students are to eat before they arrive - the festival trip for each ensemble is fairly short. There will be snacks / drinks on sale at the festival, in the cafeteria that all of the ensembles wait in for their festival scores. This is totally up to the student whether or not they want to bring money to get something (whether to calm nerves or crave any munchies/thrust after their performance).

Boston Trip Roommates

It’s time to sign up for roommates!!  Students only at this time.  Chaperones, we will sign up after the meeting  that’s being rescheduled.

Students MUST be paid up to $645 in order to be able to sign up for a room with their friends.  I have a list of who’s paid up to that point if anyone needs to check please text me, Christyne MacDermaid, 734-476-0312.  I’ll respond as soon as possible.

Here’s how sign up works, gather your group of 4, email their first and last name to me at christynemacdermaid@gmail.com.  If you could try to keep it to one email per group of 4 that would really help me out.  If there’s only 2-3 of you in a group, please don’t worry!!  Email me your 2 or 3 confirmed and we will do our best to pair you with some more compatible band students.  If you are unsure of who to room with, please email me that too.  We will have at least 3 adults working on this part to put you in a room with great students!!

If someone in your group is not paid in full to the $645 amount, I will ONLY be contacting that student, privately.  I will not email that information to your whole group.

Please keep in mind that the chaperoned groups, for out on the town, will be bigger than 4 per parent, and these groups can be boy/girl.  The above email of 4 students just refers to who you are sharing a hotel room with during sleep times.

Email requests can start February 15, 2018.  I will be checking them as I’m able.

Thanks!!

Sincerely,
Christyne MacDermaid
