IMPORTANT MEETING TO ATTEND!
There is a flex scheduling/Parker High School presentation, Tues. March 13th, in the auditorium of the high school. Times to attend are 5-6 p.m. and 6-7 p.m. If you have not attended any of these or have questions that will affect your child academically or musically, try to attend. If you are unable to attend, Mr. Smith can be reached directly at smithw@howellschools.com and will address your questions or concerns within a reasonable time. FYI...The junior class is meeting with counselors the week of March 19-23 to consider their classes for next year and will be sent home with a copy of their classes for approval of the parents. They are hoping to achieve the master schedule before they leave school in June. Check with your child's counselors to get more information.
Immediately afterward, come to the band booster meeting which starts at 7:00 in the band or choir room. There are some great things coming up between now and the end of the year, to help raise money for needed items for the instruments, etc. off Mr. Smigell's wish list. Coming up April 3rd is HOWELLPALOOZA! There will also be some OTHER fundraisers to help for the upcoming band camp expenses and even to start planning on next year's trip!
Also the band room is moving immediately after school is out and Mr. Smigell has asked for our help! Hope to see you there!

WINTER STORM EDITION!!!
Hello everyone. Becuase of the impending winter storm, and because I have to make the decision right now (in time for the bus drivers), we are canceling the trip to Port Huron today. I do this with a heavy heart, since it is a good clinic. However, the potential for delays and, more importantly, the consideration of safety is my first priority. Hopefully this is soon enough for everyone to change their plans. EVERYTHING ELSE FOR RIGHT NOW IS STILL ON......

FESTIVAL CRUNCH TIME EDITION OF THE BAND BLOG!!!!
Hello everyone and welcome back to the band bliggity blog!!! We are chugging along in our preparation for festival (despite all the snow days) and I thought I would fill you in on all the information I know so far about everything:
I just registered 17 events for State Solo and Ensemble!!! I think that this might be a record!! Hooray. Congratulations to those going on:
Scott "No longer the Loser" (yes, I changed it for you) Archer
Sam Ryan
Rayna Glynn
Vonnie Bigham
Kim Chappel
Libby Hobson
Nora Kandler
Michelle Garrett
Autumn Reynolds
Kat Jakrzewski
Jessica Kobylarz
Andrea Fosshage
Jeremy Ellens
Holly Williams
Mike Block
Paul Clifton
Josh Fenn
Eric Stants
Brittany Green
Schedules will be printed and distributed soon, I have requested WALLED LAKE NORTHERN HIGH SCHOOL as our preffered site. All State S/E events will occur on march 24, 2007
All of these people need to PAY ME for the events that they have entered:
$12.50 for a Duet
$14.00 for a trio
$16.00 for a Proficiency Solo
$12.00 for a ninth grade solo
Wind Ensemble is going on a field trip to Port Huron this coming tuesday, feb 13 2007. They are attending the annual Port Huron Music Center band clinic to help us get ready for festival. They will leave before school ends, and will perform at 4:30 in Port Huron... I need 2 chaperones for this trip if anyone is interested. Street clothes is perfectly fine for the students for this one. We will be returning around 8:30pm or so....
Our own annual Pre festival clinic/concert is this thursday, Feb 15, 2007 at 7:00 PM. Report time for everybody is 6:30. Dress is the same as the first concert of the year. "Something nice". This means NO jeans, tshirts, sweatshirts, shorts, tennis shoes, jogging pants, etc. School appropriate skirts, dresses, blouses, slacks, shirt and tie, sweater, and nice shoes ARE appropriate. We are very fortunate to have Mr. Cliff Chapman coming to work with us. Thank you very much to the Band boosters for supporting us and sponsoring this concert!!!
Festival for the Wind Ensemble is MARCH 2nd 2007 in the late-ish evening in Birmingham.
Festival for the Concert and Symphonic bands will be in either the late morning or the early afternoon on Saturday, MARCH 3rd in Birmingham.
We need 3 chaperones for each of the bands... If you are interested, please email me at smigellj@howellschools.com
Yes, Birmingham is a long way away (approx 50 minutes by bus). Originally, this was a mistake I made, but after looking at the lineups (the bands that go before and after us) I like it much better. I honestly feel that this is a blessing in disguise. We have been going to the same place now for 3 years getting judged by the same 3 or 4 judges with the same results. Well, this year, things are different, and I would rather have different judges and a different venue.
Howellpalooza is April 3rd!!! We are going to have a fantastic lineup!!! We really need a lot of people to come out to this one because we need to pay for some of the acts that we are putting on. Admission will be $4.00 adults, $3.00 children and students, and seniors. If you have an interesting talent (could even be non music related), we would love to see what it is!! maybe you could be a star!!
Yes, there is Jazz band tomorrow from 2:45 to 4:15PM. We will be putting on a big shebang later in the spring.... more info to come!
OK... that is all I can think of for right now...

Good luck everybody at the MSBOA Solo & Ensemble Festival. We have 42 entries from HHS - is that a record? It is at Farmington Harrison High School, Feb. 3. Maps and event list are on the piano in the band room. I have a list if there are any questions.
Senior Pictures - Thank you Aimee and Sam for your pictures! The rest of you, please get them turned in to the envelope on the booster board in the band room. You don't want to be left out of the presentation at the band awards banquet in May.
Fundraiser for band - Mr. Smigell asks that you please turn in your checks ASAP, payable to HHS Band, for the pizza fundraiser from Century Resources.
Congratulations to all the Livingston County Honors Band members. I heard it was an absolutely fantastic concert.

Hi all! There is a fundraiser currently going on to raise money for the band. Your student should have given you the order form and details, but in case they did not, here they are:
The band is selling pizza, stromboli, breadsticks and similar items from Century Resources. Order forms are due back on Monday, Jan. 22. The delivery will be the week of Feb. 12-16. The Howell High School Band's customer number is 30721. You can also go on-line and place orders at www.centuryresources.com using the band's customer number of 30721.
Checks should be payable to Howell HS Band. All profit goes to the band, and in these tough days of budget cuts, these funds will help fill the gap. Thanks!

#3: For this concert we will be wearing our official uniforms. Everyone in the program wears a white formal shirt in addition to either black trousers or skirts on the bottom (we will specify in each class). However, EVERYONE needs to have the white formal shirt and bowtie. THIS FRIDAY during 1st hour, a gentleman from BRIGHTON TUX SHOP will be coming to take orders and fit people for shirts. First year band students and anyone in need of a new shirt need to show up for first hour on Friday so they get the shirt in time. The price is always somewhere around $20.00 for the shirt and the bowtie.
