Band Booster Meeting

I just realized that in my last post I said the band booster meeting was on Aug 2. Please disregard that information. We will be meeting TUESDAY, August 3 from 7-8:30. I apologize for any confusion this may have caused. I look forward to seeing you then.

Thanks

A few updates and reminders

First off, we will be having one more booster meeting before band camp begins. We will be meeting Aug. 2 at 7 PM. The meeting shouldn't be too long this time, we will be discussing the needs for the volunteers during the marching band season and election of a booster board. We will keep the booster board simple this year, we will need a president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer with representatives for color guard and band. Please plan on meeting at Main Street Park again unless you hear otherwise.

As I announced in band rehearsal last week, there will be a leadership and drumline clinic at the University of Utah on Aug 2 and 3. I contacted Dr. Brian Sproul and he said that anyone interested in attending still can. All you need to do is show up on the 2nd with your money in hand. I am still trying to find out the place where you will be meeting, but everyone is welcome to attend. Plan on $35 for both days. E-mail me with any questions. This should be a great event to meet other marching band folks around the state.

Finally, next weeks rehearsals. We will plan on meeting at Butterfield Park. Remember, Tuesday's rehearsal is 8-4, bring your own lunch. Wednesday will be 8-12. Please make sure you come well hydrated , ready to work and have fun. Your music for Ecstasy of Gold should be memorized by Tuesday. Invite anyone you know that may want to participate.

Have a great weekend! I'll see you next Tuesday!

Calendar update

I hope the calendar is now viewable for everyone. Please note dates and times from this calendar and disregard any prior dates/times that you have received. This is and will be the correct information. Please check back occasionally, there may be calendar changes. THanks for your patience with this!

Marching band potato social update

A couple of quick reminders about the fundraiser coming up.

1 - You are responsible for the tickets you picked up. You must either return a check or the ticket. Checks must be made out to Herriman High School. Please do not accept cash, it can be lost very easily. Invite your family (including aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents etc.), neighbors (no door to door sales), and friends. Remember the more tickets you sell, the more money you will have to cover your fall band fees. It will also get the band closer to getting uniforms!

2 - I forgot to mention that there will be a silent auction. Each student should enter something to be auctioned. It can be anything from a homemade craft to some sort of service (lawn mowing, babysitting, etc.). For the auction, all profits for the goods or services you donate will go directly to you. I expect everyone to enter one item for the auction. Parents may also enter something as well, again any proceeds from the auction will go directly to your child's account. Please let me know ASAP about your auction item so I can get the a list compiled in preparation for the 18th.

3 - We will be performing that night, so you will be expected to be there as well. You will not need to pay for your own entrance, but your family will.

4 - If you have any questions or need any more tickets, please e-mail me at shawn.mangum@herrimanhigh.org.

Thank you! Have a wonderful week!

We will be having rehearsal tomorrow! Yeah! We will only be going from 8 til 1 with a short snack break of about 20 minutes. We will be meeting at the parking lot in front of Elk Ridge Middle School, 8 AM til 1 PM. Please be sure to eat a good breakfast and drink plenty of water. Thank you for your patience with this. See you tomorrow.

Band rehearsals

The rehearsal this Friday will be held at Main Street Park in Herriman (13000 S 5900 W). I apologize for the last minute notice on this, plans to use another location fell through. We will be rehearsing from 8 to 12 on Friday. Check back tomorrow for Saturday's rehearsal location. Thank you for your patience with this, once we have a school to use things should be quite a bit smoother.

Band Booster meeting

Hello everyone! I hope your summer is treating you well! This coming week we have a few things on the calendar. Tuesday night will be our first band booster meeting. It will be at 6 PM and I am tentatively planning on having it at the Main Street Park in Herriman (13000 S 5900 W). Check back here before you go just to make sure.

Next Friday and Saturday will be the first days of our fall band rehearsals! These dates are extremely important. We will be covering new marching techniques as well as handing out some of the music for our show. Fridays rehearsal will be from 8-12, and Saturday will be from 8-4. Yes, they are longer rehearsals, so please come well hydrated and prepared to put in a lot of hard work. Plan on bringing a lunch for Saturdays rehearsal as well. The location for these rehearsals is still being finalized, so please be checking back regularly next week for more updates.

I look forward to seeing all of you again next week. Have a wonderful weekend!
