Hello all,

As Mary Scofield wrote, lots of hard work went into this competition.  I was looking at the Pageant of Bands Program booklet and noticed something........every band at Pageant has 3,4,5,6 or more band staff  i.e. color guard directors, drum line directors, assistant directors, visual directors and assistants to help with each band section.  This is true even for the bands smaller than Highland. At Highland, we only have Ms G with help from Mason Yordy.  That is it!  Of the 27 state wide bands attending POB, HHS has BY FAR the smallest band staff.    Ms G does the work of at least 3 people and comes up with an award winning band!  Absolutely incredible! 
Don't know how she does it!  She is vital to our school.


Great kids!  Great Band!  Great Boosters!  I am proud to be a part of it.

Good morning everyone. Please find a band member, Ms G or Mason and give them a five high. They were awesome. 

We received outstanding drum major, people's choice and 1st place for class 2A.

If you see Elizabeth Robison and Denise Tomlin please give them your utmost gratitude. They are Highland's POB reps. They were there starting around 5:30am until after we were all long gone. They attend monthly meetings and will start work on 2017 POB next month! 

Also if you see the following parents, band supporters and parent alumni that helped yesterday please say thank you. They helped transport kids, keep kids in food all day, resolved problems, treat everyone's kids as their own, got equipment on and off the field, did volunteer help with POB stations and generally make my job really easy: Teresa Cordova, Sarah (Band Grandma),  Dawn Garber, Melecia and Frank Garcia, Mike Goodrich, Kathy Isaacson, Joey Loving, Betty Lujan, Manny Mendez, Elaine Messier, Jessica Messier, Virginia Perez-Ortega, John Robison, Tim Scofield, Tammy Thompson, Alex Tomlin and all soon to be and past color guard.

Two more events to go:  Tuesday and Halloween game Friday
