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.

HC Band Bingo: summer sign-ups

Tom Bensberg — Wed, 23 May 2012 14:15:55 +0000

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

HC Band Pops Concert TONIGHT! and Reminders

Tom Bensberg — Mon, 21 May 2012 18:33:10 +0000

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
