Saturday practice 8:30-4 at Homestead!

Bring water, hat, sunscreen.  Remember,  ONLY water allowed out on the practice fields.  The area under the solar panels is considered part of the practice fields.  The asphalt bordering the practice field is also considered part of the practice fields.  Basically, no food, no gum, no drink other than water once you come thru the gates.  

Mark Your Calendars  - Fremont Union High School District Marching Band Exposition

The FUHSD Marching Band Exposition is an annual event showcasing the talents of all five district high schools in a non-competitive venue.  Each band performs twice- once for the audience and once for the other bands, who all sit together on the opposite side of the field.  It’s an awe-inspiring sight when 5 marching bands with color guard fill up a bleacher.

Admission is $5 per person, with all proceeds split evenly 5 ways.  Since this show benefits all the schools, even volunteers pay the entry fee. 

A WORD FROM VOLUNTEER COORDINATOR EILEEN CHUN

We have a few more upcoming events that are in need of staffing.

The FUHD Field Show will take place on Saturday, Sept. 25th from 6:30-8:30pm at Cupertino HS. This is a showcase of our  5 district bands. We are in need of parents to help on the field to move our equipment around during the performances (moving the pit from one side of the field to the other so everyone gets to see both sides of the performance). We have 10 slots open. We also need 2 more people to help to load/unload the truck.

Band Practice Water. We need parents to help fill the coolers w/ice/water and move them to the field. We have no one signed up to help for the upcoming practices. If you can help out at 11am on practice days, please sign up on the volunteer site so we know who to expect. With enough hands, it will take less than a half hour to accomplish.

We have a THURSDAY football game coming up on September 30th! We are in need of many hands. If you are unsure of what a position is, please feel free to email me and I can clarify it for you. Also a reminder to all volunteers to please contact me if they are unable to perform their shift. We were caught significantly short handed at our previous game. If the lines seem long, please feel free to step up to help during a game. THANKS!

Once again, all of the above volunteer needs are posted on the volunteer website: http://hhsmbvolunteer.comule.com. User:HHSMB, password:volunteer.
