HSE Bands Car Wash Success!
We had an amazing turnout for the HSE Bands Car Wash! The RCG members washed and dried 181 cars on Saturday! The students sold 223 tickets of which 108 tickets were redeemed at the car wash. That means that 73 cars came to get their car washed just by seeing our flyers and signs!
Here's the results of your hard work:
- During the car wash, $510 in cash donations were received!
- In total, $2,230 went towards reducing band fees for 67 RCG members!
- The Band’s General Fund received $1,370
- The grand total of our car wash fundraiser is $3,600! WOW!
Thanks!

Mattress Fundraiser September 7th!
The Mattress Fundraiser will take place in the HSE Band Room on Saturday, September 7th from 10:00am-5:00pm. This is always a great fundraiser because it requires very little work! No volunteers needed! The mattress company does all the work and we just provide the space and promote the sale! Please start advertising now by sharing the Facebook link below and/or giving the referral forms to friends, family, neighbors, etc. Your student can pick up the referral forms in the band room or you can print the PDF file below.
Ask friends and family to mention your student’s name or present the referral form his/her name on it when buying the mattress. For every mattress purchased based on your student's referral, $25 will go directly into his/her account! Also, the more mattresses purchased, the more the band will earn! Start spreading the word! Let’s make this a big one for our students and band!
First Annual Matt Spoonemore Memorial Blood Drive
On Saturday, August 24th, we will host the "First Annual Matt Spoonemore Memorial Blood Drive." Many of you knew Matt. For those of you who didn't, Matt was our beloved guard director who recently passed away after battling stage 4 cancer. Matt was an amazing director and person in so many ways.

Please share the flyer below. It is an honor to remember Matt through this act of giving and share with the community this deeply missed colleague, friend, and mentor who meant so much to the HSE Bands Family.

HSE Bands Parent Meeting Minutes From 8-8-19
Thank you for attending the Band Parent Meeting last Thursday! If you were not able to be there, please review the minutes. Mrs. Torres shared great information about Friday home football game performances and contests. If you are new to marching band, you will definitely want to read this. Information about two new fundraisers was shared as well.
We hope to see our attendance numbers increase in these valuable band parent meetings that are held monthly. It's a great way to get to know other band parents, know what's going on, see how you can get involved and ask questions. Our next meeting will be Thursday, September 5th at 7:30pm in the band room.
Dine to Donate Chairperson Needed
Dine 2 Donate is a monthly fundraiser held at local restaurant in which a percentage of the sales go to HSE Bands. We are looking for a parent volunteer that would be interested in coordinating these Dine 2 Donate events. There are many restaurants that are happy to participate, so it's just a matter of reaching out to them, setting a date, and then communicating the information to HSE Bands. Easy-peasy!
If you are interested in the volunteer position, please contact Sheri Elfreich at president@hsehsband.com
