MATTRESS SALE This Saturday!
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!

Junior High Night This Friday!
For Junior High Night, we will need lots of parent help! We will have LOTS of junior high students here with us, which is fantastic! They will be joining our rehearsal after school, eating dinner with us, marching through Tailgate Town with us, sitting in the stands with us, and then performing “Shorties” at Halftime with us!!! We are trying something new this year to give them the opportunity to actually perform with us, so we will form a huge block on the field integrating the high school and junior high students, and we will stand and perform “Shorties” for Halftime. We will perform our show for the junior high students in the parking lot during our rehearsal prior to the game, but we will not perform our show during Halftime that night. We are really excited for this awesome recruitment opportunity!!
We will need parent help to:
- chaperone and monitor the junior high students (along with the Junior High Band Directors)
- feed the students
- help corral the students to different areas
- bring lots of music stands on to the field for the Halftime performance with clothes pins to hold music on to them
- bring some chairs on to the field for those junior high students with large instruments that will need to sit to perform – concert tubas, bassoons, bass clarinets, etc.
- help corral students after Halftime to their dismissal areas (Door 18 for students who are leaving or back in to the stadium to watch the game with their families)

A change of uniform plans: Students will wear parade shirt, black shorts and tennis shoes, since we will not be performing our show, as well as to be more welcoming and informal for our special guests.
