Get ready for a long weekend!

Dear band and orchestra students and parents,

Great work solo and ensemble festival students! Here are a few announcements and reminders.

1. Band/orchestra festival is right around the corner and we have a ways to go. I highly recommend that everyone take their instruments home this weekend so that they can practice. It is also a great idea to keep plugging away at State S & E stuff.

2. All orchestra students remember our rehearsal on Thursday morning at 7:00 a.m. in preparation for festival.

3. We will have a Disney FastPass sign up time on Wednesday, March 4 at 7:30 a.m. for all students who would like to participate. This is a great chance to sign up for rides with friends and know that you won't have to wait in long lines for some of your favorite rides. This link explains more about what the FastPass is.

4. Don't forget that we have a Florida Trip meeting for students and parents on Monday, March 9 from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. in the HC auditorium. You will get to meet your chaperons, sign consent forms, and learn about what to pack and what not to pack.

5. Only $378 left to go on the Florida meter.

6. Here is the State Solo and Ensemble Festival sign up form, this is due Wednesday evening.

7. Congratulations to the 52 HCHS band and orchestra students participated in the Michigan School Band and Orchestra Association (MSBOA) District Solo and Ensemble Festival on February 8, 2020! All of these students received one of the top two ratings. They all did so well!
