[Hhsband] March-a-thon and upcoming news

[Mary Scofield]

Thank you to all the parents who came and helped out with the 
March-a-thon. What a great day, great sound and awesome results.

Speaking of results - the donations received during the march-a-thon 
totaled $3104. We normally get more donations from paypal, and 
companies, etc.  We anticipate that this will be our highest year in 
many years, if not forever.

This money is used to pay for equipment, band supplies, fees and food 
for competitive and fun events, music and many other things that the 
Band program needs that is not covered by APS.

I'd also like to again recognize Ms Gonzales whose energy is endless and 
who encourages our kids to do amazing things.

First Football game - this Saturday 8/27/16 at community stadium 5PM. 
*Ms G will let the kids know when they to be there.* We will need 
parents to be there at about the same time to help organize, load and 
secure the equipment in the Band Truck. We will also need parents at the 
game to help with getting equipment on the field, water to the Stands 
and just to be there to support the kids!!!! If you follow the band 
truck you can usually get into the same parking area as the Bus and Band 
Truck. We encourage parents to car pool from the Highland PAC.

*SECOND FOOTBALL GAME is the SATURDAY (at 1:00PM) of LABOR DAY WEEKEND.*

For new parents remember - the kids need to have black socks. If you 
have not received the hornet band handbook this year, here is a link for 
both English and Spanish https://highlandhighband.wordpress.com/parent-info/
