Hixson High School Band

The 2019-20 special project fundraiser will be to purchase a 20 ft x 8.5 ft enclosed trailer. We are seeking donations and sponsorships. If you would like to help us achieve our goal, please click the PayPal link on this page.

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

12th grade – ketchup, mustard, or mayo

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.

Thank you
