Welcome to the Hillsboro Intermediate and Junior High Band Program

Kevin Blair Tim Dedert Brett Myers, Directors

Welcome to the internet home of the junior high and intermediate band program at Hillsboro. On this site you will find valuable information pertaining to the bands. On the navigation menu to the left, there is access to individual pages for each ensemble in the Hillsboro band program including the high school band. You can also reach the building sites for the intermediate, junior high and high school buildings. The band calendar includes all events that feature any band 6th through 8th grade. The band handbook and travel itineraries for any outside of school trips can be found under their respective headings. The band links include several useful websites to you as a band student.

FALL BAND FUNDRAISER

Last week your student should have brought home a brochure from Mr. Z's Fundraising containing products we are selling for our Fall semester band fundraiser. Please help our program if at all possible by buying or selling at least one item from the brochure. As our program continues to grow and serve more students, it is important that each child have the necessary materials for a successful band experience. Below are the important dates for the fundraiser:

August 21, 2010 - Fundraiser Kick-Off

September 7, 2010 - Order form turn-in

October 5, 2010 - Frozen food pick-up (please arrange to pick up products between 1:00 and 5:00pm in the junior high band room)

Website, Handbook, Calendar Update (August 31, 2010)

The band website has now been fully updated for the 2010-2011 school year. This year's handbook as well as an updated calendar can be downloaded in .pdf format under their respective headings in the left hand navigation menu.

Please keep an eye on the mail in the coming days as our first band newsletter will be mailed out prior to labor day weekend. It is our hope to keep you informed about what your student is doing each day in class through this bi-monthly newsletter. if you prefer to read online, the newsletter will also be available for download in .pdf format.

Back to School Update (August 2, 2010)

The new school year is quickly approaching and everyone is feverishly preparing for the first day. Recently, a letter was mailed out to seventh and eighth grade detailing what supplies students in each band need to have for the first day of school. Sixth grade students will receive their letters and lists at open house. It is very important that the students have the necessary materials so that we can jump headlong into making music right off the bat. A copy of that supply list can also be found on this website under the class materials section. Also, the updated calendar for the 2010-2011 school year is now available for download on the website under the "band calendar" link. Please print this out and hang it on the fridge or anywhere that it will be easily seen in your home. Enjoy the few remaining days of your summer vacation and we will look forward to seeing all of you on August 19th!
