[Hhsband] HHS Band Update: August

[Josephine Gonzales]

Happy August, everyone!

First of all, I want to express how happy I am with how our year has
started off so far. We are working hard to get ready for a busy next few
weeks and I am so excited to get the ball rolling on a new school year.
Please read below for all of the upcoming events and needs we have over the
next few weeks. August through October are busy times!

*We need help with Football Games and Marching Events.* If you are able to
sign up to help chaperone (ride the bus, hand out water) and/or load the
band truck we would be hugely appreciative. You can sign up for any of
these events by clicking here.

*We need a few people to help carpool for our March-A-Thon flyering. *We
will be flyering around the neighborhood to promote our huge yearly
fundraiser March-A-Thon. We need 4-5 drivers on Thursday, August 24th. Meet
in the band room around 3:45 and we should be done in an hour. Please
respond to this email if you can help and let me know how many kids you can
fit in your car.

*We are looking for people to bring fruit and/or bagel toppings for
March-A-Thon.* On Saturday 8/26 the boosters will be providing drinks and
bagels for breakfast for everyone. We would love it if a few people could
