For anyone, that includes incoming freshman, who would like to go to Louisville on Sunday, June 17, to see the DCI tour, please join us. With 20 or more people, tickets are only $21. The event starts at 7:30 p.m. We can car pool or for those of you that would prefer to, your family can go by itself (I will have the tickets ahead of time to pass out). I plan to place the ticket order on Tuesday. You can throw your check in the mail today (Sandra Palmer, 4316 Brookridge Dr., Lex., 40515); if you do, please send me a note so I’ll know to look for it. I’ll also be at bingo tonight. The more the merrier!
This event is not sponsored by Henry Clay or the band boosters; it’s just a group of people getting together who can’t get enough marching band.

Dear Henry Clay Band Family, This summer we will be having an open band room from 4-6 on Mondays beggining on June 4th. If you want to work on a secondary instrument, play music, or just hang out, Monday nights will be time.
Sincerely, Jeff Bayerle jeffrey.bayerle@fayette.kyschools.us
Good morning! This afternoon I will take down the sign-up sheet for the summer sign-ups. I know the students have been focused on other things and few have signed up so from this point, please e-mail me to let me know when you are available for bingo this summer. Every Saturday is still available.
To incoming students and their parents, in a separate e-mail, I will give an explanation of our bingo fundraiser so you can understand what this is all about.
I hope to hear from you soon. As always, parents we would love to have you, too. The students do a great job but a few extra adults make things run more smoothly.
Thanks for supporting the Henry Clay band! Sandra Palmer slhpalmer@insightbb.com

Thank you from Michelle and me for everyone who participated in our silent auction to those who helped clean up afterwards. The janitorial staff was very appreciative of our help with the tables and chairs.

Dear Band Family, I hope to see everyone at the HC Band Pops Concert this evening in the Gym at 6:00 PM! Should be a great end of the year event! Please remember the tables in the middle of the floor have all been reserved and assigned for this evening.
Just a few brief reminders for the week for band members:
1.) Please turn in band finals as soon as you are able unless in a percussion class (playing “live”).
2.) We need ALL Marching Band Commitment Contracts by June 1st. Current high school students should turn these in by Thursday before school lets out. I am basing the drill numbers for the show on submitted contracts.
Thanks to all for a wonderful year full of enthusiasm and growth for the HC Band program! Seniors and families, BEST wishes for a bright future!
Sincerely, Bill Kite Director of Bands Henry Clay High School
