Christmas Concert, Chamber Orchestra, Ham, Florida Payments

Hello band and orchestra students and parents,

I hope you are having a great week!

1. A quick reminder that Symphonic Orchestra tomorrow morning includes all strings at 7:00 a.m.

2. You are invited to join the HCHS Chamber Orchestra in worship at Central Ave. Christian Reformed Church on Sunday evening at 5:00 p.m.

3. Monday, December 2 we kicked off the annual Ham Band & Orchestra group fundraiser. This is a group fundraiser. 
Students may pick up their order forms and information in the band room by Mr. VandenBerg’s office door.  The envelope on his door is for turning in order forms.  Please put your order form in the envelope no later than Monday, December 9. The form is linked here.
The ham will be delivered on December 16.  Pick up will be from 2:30pm-3:45pm.  Payment is due at pickup. ( please do not submit payments early, thank you ) Each ham will be priced according to weight with the avg being 8.4lbs. We will accept cash or check at that time.
If you have any questions feel free to email Stacy Huffman at mamahuff4@gmail.com or call at 616-638-2832.

4. Our final Florida payment is due on Monday, December 16. I have a print out of each student's remaining balance and am happy to have students look up their balance. 
If you have not done any individual fundraisers and did make your first payment your balance is $275.
Each student's actual cost for this trip is $900, but because the Florida committee is committed to keeping this trip affordable, each student is asked to pay only $550. We have raised about $25,000 of the $35,000 needed to cover the difference for this trip. If you are financially able and willing to pay $900 instead of the $550 to support this effort to reach our goal it would be greatly appreciated.

5. Put Saturday, February 1 at 7:00 p.m. on your calendar to watch the HCS staff take on the ZCS staff in a basketball game fundraiser for our Florida trip!
