Dear Mighty Hawk Band Community,
Hello Everyone! The Band Staff is INCREDIBLY proud of the students for not only their amazing performances so far, but also the amount of focus, grit, determination, and discipline they are bringing to our after school rehearsals. In less than an hour of total in-class instruction (and a surprise fire drill!), they put FOUR new segments of visual choreography into various segments of the show, on top of several musical changes we are implementing to enhance the musical side. What has made this all even more impressive is the number of smiles on faces, the amount of positive feedback from the students on the process, and the display of incredible character they have had with each other.
Lastly before the 'Two Week Look Ahead', we've had some awesome praise for the student's performance and attitudes, so I'd like to share just a couple of the unique ones with you all. At halftime during the Richland game, one of the BHS football coaches came out before bringing out the team to tell us how impressive the band sounded during their halftimeperformance. (Side note - I always figured the coaches were with the players?!) Following last week's game against Mansfield Legacy, the Legacy HS Drill Team and Band Staff reached out in an email to tell us thank you for cheering them on for their halftime performance and how it was so special for them to have all of that support from another school. Lastly, quite a few BHS teachers have dropped by to say that they are really impressed by how energetically positive the band students have been in their classes and at the games lately. I say all that to say...way to go Hawks, you are bringing a lot of positive energy to the world around you! We are so proud of you as performers and people! And now, your Two Week Look Ahead and some Announcements:
