Hudson Hawk Band Updates
Week of 9/12/22
Congratulations Section/Students of the Week!
This week we are recognizing the Wind Symphony Flute section - they have worked incredibly hard over the past month and are improving at a rapid pace. We are super proud of the dedication they are showing and the example they are setting for others!
We are also recognizing David Williams (beginner tuba) and Lynlee Jones (beginner oboe). David has shown great leadership in class, has gone out of his way to help other students. has been generously sharing his book with others who don't have one yet, and has just been a joy to teach. Lynlee has shown up to practice before school regularly this week and is taking our notes and really implementing them in her practice. She is improving so quickly, has a super positive attitude, and is a rock star already!
CONGRATULATIONS TO THESE WONDERFUL STUDENTS!!!
Band Fees Due Sept. 16
Band t-shirts will be delivered next week and we will be unable to give any student a shirt who has not submitted their first band fee payment of a minimum of $10.

Band Fees
This year, you can pay band fees through cash or check (made out to Hudson Band Boosters), Paypal through Charms (watch this video to walk you through the Charms system), and for the first time - credit card through the band website. Visit the band website and enter the password HawkBD2223 to enter the secure page and pay online. Please consider adding the optional donation to your cart to cover the credit card fees we incur using this convenient service.
If you have a financial hardship, please communicate with us so we can help you. We never want a student to be unable to participate due to finances and will do everything we can to work with your family and ensure your student is included.
Private Lessons Filling Up
The single biggest investment you can make in your student's musical advancement is signing them up for private lessons. Return the private lesson enrollment form to get your student started ASAP. Lessons are $20 each week and the fee is paid directly to the instructor.
