Hixson High School Band

The Band Boosters would like to thank the ROTC for all their help in the successful Alumni Band night.

Also, all band members please bring a case of water and each of the following to the bandroom one day this week for our band competition this Saturday at Soddy Daisy:

9th grade – ham or turkey lunch meat

10th grade – bread or sliced cheese

11th grade – chips or snacks

Parents, please make sure you pay the $300 fee. That money pays for our buses and things like that.

We also need concession help this Friday night and chaperones Saturday.
