Yes, there is practice Saturday August 28^th.  Practice times have been updated.

Schedule for FIRST Football Game!

Our first football game will be on Friday, September 3^rd.  This will be Pep Band Only, meaning all marching band members are required to be there, EXCEPT front ensemble and color guard.    

Marching band members should arrive at 6:30 pm at Cupertino High School (10100 Finch Ave, Cupertino).  Meet near the basketball courts, which are in back of the pool and field house, before the athletic field (see Cupertino campus map ).

The required uniform for the game will be green pep band shirts and blue jeans.   Contact Mrs. Edmonds at edmondsbarb@yahoo.com  or Mrs. Ishizaki at aud@yahoo.com if you need a green pep band shirt.

All football games and competitions are mandatory and count towards your grade.  Please contact Mr. Burn at john_burn@fuhsd.org as soon as possible if you will not be in attendance (unless you are a member of front ensemble or color guard).

Football Game Concession Food Pre-order Deadline - September 1st

Hurry, get your forms in!  The deadline to pre-order your food for the Friday, September 3rd, football game is next Wednesday, September 1st (at the END of practice).   Order forms received after the Wednesday night practice will not be filled, since once the total number of pre-order items are transmitted to the concession heads the numbers cannot bechanged.

Forms: Grab a Concessions Pre-Order Form in the Band Room or go to the HHSMB website .  Complete the form and turn it in to Mrs. Winnie Lo at the end of Wednesday night practice (I will be near the practice field), or drop it in the box labeled Mrs. Feltman's File Box located in Mr. Burn's office.

Tickets:  Since you will be wearing pep clothes for this game, tickets will be passed out by your section leaders before halftime.

See details on the form or contact Winnie Lo at leolo9@yahoo.com or  408-733-4878 if you have any questions.  

4 successful events.. lots of great volunteers! From Barb Edmonds

We have recently held 4 events that all went very successfully, in large part due to the overwhelming response to our requests for volunteers. It's been great to see so many veterans as well as new faces at these events. 

We held our 6 days of uniform fitting.  This year, it went smoother that I can ever remember. Our kick-off for the season, band camp, also went efficiently.  We had lots of help when we needed it and luckily had the coolest weather in years.  We immediately followed band camp with the Back to School Round-Up BBQ . Thanks to quick work organized by Tonya Gregory and Rachel Tirosh, hamburgers were cooked and served after Freshman registration at HHS.  Lastly, the Band Potluck this past weekend went well.  We had a last minute plea for help for both the BBQ and Potluck and you came through. The many hands made set up and clean up very easy.

Thanks again to all who made these events successful.  We look forward to seeing everyone at future band events.

Igloo Duty

Susan Hough and I worked out the kinks last practice, so we know pretty much what we’re supposed to do.   We try to provide ice cold water for all students after the lunch break, when their water bottles get pretty low.  Instead of them wasting their time standing in line trying to fill them up at the water fountain, we fill up 6 igloo water coolers and set them out next to the field for students to use.

We are ready for a little help (sorry I didn’t respond to those who volunteered last week!)

It would really be helpful if a few people could haul the igloos to our water source, fill up the 6 igloos, and haul them back to the field.  The whole process might take about a half hour.  We can schedule it to occur at 11, so you are done before lunch break, if you need to take your students home for lunch.

Do I have any takers?  Go to the volunteer website (remember, user name: HHSMB, password: volunteer).  Please contact me at vicki.feltman@gmail.com if you can help or have questions.
 

REMINDER – WATER DONATIONS

If every family donated a case of water, we would have enough to serve at competitions.  Please bring a case on Saturday when you drop off or pick up your students from practice.  Water can be left in the band room close to the white board.

Contact Vicki Feltman at Vicki.feltman@gmail.com for more information.
