HOMESTEAD HIGH SCHOOL MUSIC BOOSTER BLAST
THIS WEEK’S SCHEDULE: FIND THAT SPECIAL EMAIL ABOUT BAND FORMS!!!! (Vicki Feltman)
You should have received a special email blast titled HHSMB - Special Blast regarding 2013 Marching Band Season. It was sent to everyone currently on distribution for the weekly email blast. Please check with your friends and incoming freshmen to make sure they get this information.
It is very important for all forms, ESPECIALLY the district/school forms, be sent in no later than June 28th. Drill is being based on the instrumentation represented on these forms. If you don’t get them in, you aren’t counted. And you know how critical it is to know the difference between 27 flutes and 28.
If you find someone who has not received the email, or someone who wants to be in marching band and not signed up yet, please forward this email to them and contact me (Vicki Feltman) at vicki.feltman@gmail.com so we can update our counts.
Forms and payment are due JUNE 28TH!!
