The Hybrid HMS Band:
Welcome to our Hybrid HMS Band! While in class, we will maintain social distancing to create a safe environment to rehearse. We will be using our rehearsal time to develop our skills and musicianship to continue to grow as musicians. During your digital learning days, we will be working on Breezin' Thru theory and our Theory Book to help further understand what makes music GREAT! The digital learning days will also be used to review our practice strategies, expand our listening skills, and catch up on skills we've let slide! During our digital learning experience, all band members should still average three days of practice per week and record them on your practice logs, which are due by midnight on Sunday.
I look forward to working with each of you as we navigate through hybrid learning together!
Let's have some fun and Go Generals!

2020-2021 HMS Band Fee
Usually during the Middle School Band Fee is collected at the beginning of the academic year. This year, because of COVID-19, the band fee will be due October 9th, 2020. The fee is $100 for 7th and 8th-Grade Band Members and $50 for 6th-Grade Band Members and will be collected October 9th -- checks made out to "Heritage Middle School". This non-refundable fee will cover uniform shirts, all honor band and festival registrations and acceptance fees, school instrument use, and all bus trips/meals. This will mean we will NOT collect fees at any other time throughout the year. We will still conduct fundraisers to help buy large instruments and repairs, but as always, participation will be optional. Also, any special trip that requires an overnight stay will be extra -- and optional!!!
