Hudson Hawk Band Updates
Week of 9/6/22
A Lot of Repeat Information
- Please consider helping us prepare for the Practice-a-Thon fundraiser by signing up to contact some local business about donations. Most of the work is already done for you, we just need people to help alleviate the work load for us and our booster club board members.
- Our first booster club meeting is coming up on Wednesday, September 14 at 7:00pm in the band hall. Please join us!
- Please check out the Dallas Winds concert information below - this is a really cool opportunity for our students. Fill out the form if your student is interested in attending.
- Wind Symphony has a number of required events coming up - take a few moments to read them below and make sure they are on your calendar.
- Advanced Band Football Game - If you drive a truck or large SUV and have a student in the Advanced Bands, we could use your help! Please contact Mrs. Becker if you are available and willing to help us transport instruments to Sachse HS for the football game on September 20. We would need help from 4:40pm-5:15pm and 7:50-8:20pm.
- Are you crafty and own a Cricut/Silhouette and have time to help Mrs. Becker with a project that has been put off for about 6 months, please send me an email. The materials are purchased, I just don't have any more time to spare!
Get Involved with Practice-a-Thon
Calling all parents! We need your help with our fundraising efforts for our upcoming annual fundraiser. We promise it isn’t a daunting task but we do need your help so we can reach out to all the local businesses within our area.
We have a letter generated that we can easily email to you to help make the process easier for you.
Can we count on you to help us? Please use this link to sign up.
Have questions? Contact Margaret Finley at 214-738-5868 (cell) or mmfinley68@gmail.com.
