Dear Current 8th Grade Band Students and Parents,   Can you believe it?  We are over halfway through your 8th grade year and already talking about next year!  I hope you are as excited as I am to become the newest members of the award-winning Hockinson High School Band!   Earlier today, I visited the 8th grade band class during the school day to answer any questions regarding high school band and to encourage everyone to sign up for band next year.  I will be also attending the 8th Grade Forecasting Night at the high school on February 27th.  Since I am sure not everyone who has questions about band will be able to attend, I thought I would share this information with you.  If you have any further questions, PLEASE… Read More »Incoming Freshman Information for Forecasting

Please click here to view an important parent letter on our upcoming Mattress Fundraiser. We are less than 2 weeks away from our Mattress Fundraiser!  Last week in class, students were given packets of flyers to distribute, along with a text message to share.  If you need more flyers or would like to share the flyer via email, text, or social media please use this file.  We need each student to find 1 person to purchase a mattress.  Since 1 in 10 people are currently in the market for a mattress, each family should ask at least 10 people to come to the high school to view and try out our display models on Saturday, October 28.  If you need more information, click here.  New… Read More »Help Make Our Mattress Fundraiser A Success!

PLEASE FOLLOW THESE GAME DAY PROCEDURES FOR ALL HOME FOOTBALL GAMES   3:30 – School Ends Students are welcome to hang out in the band room when school ends if they do not have a ride home or back to the high school.  This is a good time to eat an early dinner (bring one with you or have a parent drop one off for you).  If you ride the bus I don’t recommend you ride it home on game days, as most students just have to turn around and come back to the high school.  This is also a good time to change into your athletic shorts and pep band shirt that you will wear under your band uniform.   5:00 – Halftime Rehearsal All students need… Read More »Home Football Game Details

Hello Band Students and Parents! All new and returning band students:  Please fill out this form to confirm your status for band camp.  I would appreciate you doing so as soon as possible, or at least by August 1.  Since I know not everyone checks their email regularly over the summer, I would appreciate it if you would ask others you know in band if they received this email.  If you are receiving this email but have decided not to continue with band this year (and I hope that’s not the case), please indicate in the form above so that I can remove you from our mailings and update my rosters accordingly. I am in the process of writing our first halftime show that we will learn at band camp and need an accurate headcount in… Read More »RSVP for Band Camp 2023!
