HMK eNews - Back to School Edition!

Post date: Aug 31, 2010 7:03:49 PM

Greetings, all! I hope that you and your students have had a GREAT "back-to-school" experience! I am happy to already see some of our younger members looking up to our seasoned vets for leadership both on the field and in the classroom! I am once again proud to say that we have a truly special group of students in our band program!

This week:

Rehearsal Schedule

> This week marks the END of our Summer Rehearsal Schedule. Beginning next week, we will be following the Fall Rehearsal and Performance Schedule. I have attached the most updated version to this email - please also note that our traditional Champs Week Schedule has been included.

Pictures - Thursday, 09.02.10 (5:30 PM)

> This year's band photos will once again be taken by Andy Kelly Photography. Photos will include: individual members, sections, and the 2010 full-band shot. Order forms were sent home last week - for extras, please see Mrs. Gumble at the band office. REMINDER - envelopes (with payment) are to be presented to Mr. Kelly on Thursday!

Preview Knight - Thursday, 09.02.10 (7:30 PM)

> Please join us this Thursday at Hempfield Stadium for HMK Preview Knight! The event will feature special section exhibitions, our 2010 Cheese Show (The Sounds of Fenway), and a glimpse at our 2010 Competitive Program "The American Dream!" The event will last around 45 minutes - come on out and show your support at our first event of the season!

Football @ LS - Friday, 09.03.10

> We will be taking our first trip of the season this Friday to Lampeter Strasburg High School. As this is our first Away Game (and the students are off that day), students should report to HHS at 4:00 PM. Updated schedules (including Truck Load, Bus Load, Perform, and Return) can be found under the HMK Page (Performance Information) at mrgumble.hempfieldsd.org.

> Please refer to the attached Band Handbook for our Rules and Regulations for Football Games.

Opening Knight - Saturday, 09.18.10

> Just a reminder...not that you forgot! Volunteers are still needed in a few areas (concessions and greeters, most notably). Please contact a committee chair to let them know that you want in! :)

That's all for now, gang! Have a great rest of the week...see you at Preview Knight!
