Dear HHS Band Students and Parents, As most of you know, we use an online data management program called Charms Office for much of the administrative work involved with the band and the music boosters.  Everything from communication to fundraising to instrument rentals is handled though Charms.  It’s the system I’m using right now to email you!  Every student has their own Charms account.

Hello Band Students and Parents!   URGENT:  If you have not confirmed to anyone (band council members or myself) either through phone or email that you will be attending camp, please be sure to do so right away.  If you did not receive a phone call from a Band Council student today it means I do not have a current telephone number for you.  If you did not speak with a band council officer because of not receiving a phone call or just receiving a voicemail message, please email me as soon as possible.  I am in the process of finishing writing our first halftime show that we will learn at band camp and need an accurate head count in order to make sure… Read More »Band Camp Details
