Hempfield Bands eNews > FINISH THE SHOW Edition!

Greetings, friends! I hope that everyone enjoyed their weekend off and was able to "recharge the batteries" for the push to the end of the season!

While last week was about reaching down to the next generation of HMKers and prepping for Homecoming, this week will be all about refocusing our energy toward our goal of maximizing our potential as a group! There is much to add, but if all goes according to plan (and the weather cooperates!), we will present FATE in it's entirety this Friday at Lancaster Catholic and again on Saturday at Springfield!
