Chaperons needed, lesson scholarship and more!

 Dear band and orchestra students and parents,

1. Chaperones are needed for the HCHS band/orchestra retreat. Please email me if you can help out. Check out the last blog post for more details.

2. You are encouraged to take individual/private lessons on your instrument. It is a great way to get musical guidance, mentoring, and tips that can really help you to excel on your instrument. The HC Music Boosters has a scholarship to help encourage students to take lessons. Please check out this form and fill it out if you are interested. This is also a great way to start prepping for solo and ensemble festival!

3. The HCHS band and orchestra is raising money to help support our trip to Florida and instrumental music education at HCHS. You may place your Butter Braid order with a Band or Orchestra student and you can order online and pay by credit card using this link: https://store.myfundraisingplace.com/918a2c07-9af7-4d15-8eb9-b81b43ffdef5  

4. Did you know that band/orchestra students are getting fitted for their band/orchestra uniforms during their class periods? Guys will wear a tuxedo, vest, shirt, and tie and girls will wear a black dress. A special thanks to Carol Redder who has headed this up for many years! 

We will be taking pictures at school on Oct. 13. All students will need to provide their own footwear appropriate to be worn with a tux or dress. Guys will need black dress shoes and socks and girls will need black flats or other appropriate dressy black footwear.

-Orchestra: Friday, Oct. 13 at 7:00 a.m. is picture time for the full symphonic orchestra which includes all orchestra students and the woodwind/brass/percussion students that join the orchestra. We will also take section pictures during class.
-Jazz Orchestra pictures will be at 7:45 a.m.

Thanks!

Mr. VB
