Welcome to a New Year!

Welcome, HCHS band and orchestra students and parents!

I hope you are enjoying your summer. I am looking forward to soon seeing familiar faces, getting to know new students, and making great music. Last year was a wonderful year, and we are looking forward to more laughs and fun this coming year. We are especially looking forward to having Freshman and other new students join us!

Here are a few dates for you to put on your calendar:

1. RETREAT: The HCHS bands and orchestra are looking forward to a retreat at Camp Geneva this year. We'll have a weekend of eating good food, playing games, getting to know each other, and making music together. This retreat is always a great time. You won't want to miss it. Please mark your calendars now for this special weekend event, from Thursday, September 27 at 5:00 p.m. to Friday, September 28 at 5:00 p.m. Logistical and other details to come soon.

2. PEP BAND: For all concert band and symphonic band members, there will be a combined pep band practice on Monday, August 20 from 12:30 p.m. to 1:15 p.m. in the band/orchestra room. We will have a few new fun pep band tunes and ice cream. We play for the Thursday, Aug. 31, home football game. 

3. VOLUNTEERS NEEDED: Thursday, August 16 from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. (or any portion of this time) we are in need of some student volunteers to help fill folders with music and prepare the band/orchestra room for the new year. Email me know if you are interested and available. Lunch and ice cream are on Mr. Vanden Berg!
