We are still in need of volunteers (students and parents welcome!) to help sell concessions for two school events during Homecoming week.  These are fundraisers for our Orchestra boosters so we could use as much help as possible to make this successful!  Even if you can just work part of the night it will be super helpful!

Coming up first is the Powder Puff game on Wednesday, Oct. 2.  The game will be from 6:30 - 9 p.m. on the turf field.  Please use this link  to sign up to help: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/8050F4CA8A829A6FF2-homecoming2

The second event is the bonfire/pep rally on Thursday, Oct. 3.  This event will take place in the teacher lot from 6:30 - 9 p.m. This is the sign up for this event:  https://www.signupgenius.com/go/8050F4CA8A829A6FF2-homecoming1

Also, don't forget to sign up to participate in the Homecoming parade on Saturday, Oct. 5.  Sign up here:  https://www.signupgenius.com/go/8050F4CA8A829A6FF2-homecoming

We also should mention the first concert of the year is Monday, October 7 at 7 p.m. in the HRHS Auditorium. Your student should have their attire now; if they do not have their attire yet, please have them see Mrs. Jonas this week. All alterations must be completed before the concert date. Immediately following the concert will be a Dairy Queen restaurant night so we can all celebrate with sweet treats - another HRHS Orchestra tradition. Our Orchestras will receive 20% of the proceeds from this night so join us!
Thank you for your continued support!

September meeting minutes

Hi! Minutes from our September 9 meeting have been posted on our Booster page!

Homecoming parade

We are reaching out to see if there is any interest in participating in the "Greek Out" homecoming parade Saturday, October 5.  This is for all Orchestra students and families.  Please see the link below to sign up for this fun HRHS tradition. We must register by 9/27 so if you are able to help please let us know ASAP.  Thanks!

Attire closet open tomorrow

Just wanted to remind you that Boosters will be at HRHS tomorrow 8/26 from 5:30-9 p.m. We will be in the Orchestra room helping families find pre-owned attire for the upcoming year.  This is an awesome opportunity to save money if your student needs new attire; we still have lots of tuxes and some dresses.

Reminder:  Your returning student only needs new attire if their current dress or tux doesn't fit any longer or if they are changing from Overture/Symphony to Chamber this year.  All new students need to find pre-owned attire or take measurements for new attire.  These measurements are due to Mrs. Jonas by Friday, Sept. 6.

If you need to turn in used attire, you may bring it to the Orchestra room tomorrow night as well.  Please let us know as soon as possible if you have attire to turn in.  There are still quite a few families we have not heard from as to what their attire needs are for the year.

Attire deadline Monday

Reminder: The deadline to let us know about your dresses and tuxes for this year is this Monday, Aug. 12! We have only heard from a few people. Please let us know as soon as possible so we know what inventory we have to work with, as well as who will need new attire. We really appreciate your prompt response and cooperation. Thank you!
