HMK eNews > REMAINING COMPETITION SCHEDULE!

Our remaining schedule finds us in USBands (formerly the United States Scholastic Band Association). USBands is a national circuit, meaning that there are shows that are held throughout the United States on any given weekend. This coming weekend, USBands will be hosting shows in PA, RI, NJ, VA, MD, CT, TX, AZ, and MS.

By participating in USBands, we are exposing our organization to audiences and adjudicators that have never seen HMK. As a collective, we need to challenge ourselves to strive for excellence in all aspects in order to represent ourselves and our community at the highest level possible!
