Mattress Fundraiser
Our annual mattress fundraiser is on Saturday, April 13th, from 10 AM - 4 PM in the new auxiliary gym at Central Hardin.
This is a VERY easy fundraiser for us. All we have to do is advertise the sale!
Here's HOW it works:
The company comes to the school and sets up a mattress showroom. They will have mattresses at various price points, sizes, firmness levels, etc. They also have sheets, mattress protectors, frames, and pillows. This is the real deal!
The company also provides the salesman (commission-free, no-pressure sales) and payment options (financing available).
On average, we make approximately $100 per mattress sold.
There are CASH incentives and free CH hoodies for student referrals as well!
Here's WHY it works:
On average, a mattress lasts ten years, so 1 in 10 people will purchase one every year. This means that in Hardin County, approximately 10,000 people will purchase a mattress THIS YEAR!
Our job is to get as many of those 10,000 people as possible to buy from us!
If each family could get ONE person to buy a mattress at the sale, we could make over $10,000 with this fundraiser.
Oaks and Derby
On Friday and Saturday, May 3-4, we will work the Kentucky Oaks and Derby to raise money for the band. We get $150 per volunteer daily, so this could easily be a $12,000 fundraiser for us!

From Mr. Ervin
I hope your three-day weekend has been enjoyable thus far! Our halftime performance on Friday night was outstanding, and we are excited to keep improving our show over the next two weeks leading up to our first contest. A successful band program requires dedicated staff, students, and parents. I am grateful for every volunteer and supporter of our program. Whether you volunteer regularly or simply help transport your kids to and from practice, we appreciate everyone's efforts!
Please continue to ask questions if you have them. The band booster leadership team and I are here to help you every step of the way! Our number one priority is student experience, but we also realize the value of ensuring a great experience for our parents, guardians, and supporters! I have included contact information for our booster executive board in the last paragraph of this announcement. Please feel free to reach out to them if you have questions regarding the "behind the scenes" work of the band program. If you have questions regarding your child, please reach out to me. I am here for you and all our band students!

Weekly Schedule
Practices this week are at Central Hardin. We should be on our new practice field starting Tuesday.
This practice field is painted on asphalt in front of the school, closer to Highway 62.
Speaking of asphalt, it would be a good idea for students to bring knee pads and towels to rehearsal to protect themselves from the asphalt when we are on the ground for parts of our show.
Also, students should wear a hat and sunglasses for rehearsal. This will help keep them cool AND allow them to keep their eyes on the drum major and drill formations.
Since we are back at CH, practice will begin at 4:30 daily.
We are learning the ballad drill, so perfect attendance is more important than ever!

Mid-Week Update - Tuesday, August 22, 2023
Equipment Move Today
This is a friendly reminder that we are moving equipment today after the wind/percussion rehearsal (around 6:30). It will be scorching out, so we need as much help as possible.
Rehearsal and Performance Times This Week
Due to the excessive heat warnings and heat index for the remainder of the week, we are adjusting rehearsal and performance times for Thursday and Friday.
Thursday: Rehearsal at Central Hardin - 5:30-8:30

The cost of admission for the Adair County Exhibition is $10.
We encourage all supporters to get to the contest early and support not only our band program but also other bands whose kids work just as hard and deserve just as much support!
Here is a helpful link with information about marching band contest etiquette.
Be mindful of your surroundings in the stands. Feel free to comment on the success of other bands and the success of our students. If you have a criticism or negative comment, please keep it to yourself. Remember, the spectators in the stands you may not know are just like you - they have a kid out there giving it their all and deserve the same respect that we expect our kids to receive!
Food This Weekend
Our hospitality chair, Mary Beth Keffer, has created a Sign-Up Genius for feeding our students this weekend. Please sign up if you can help with donating or serving. We appreciate any help you can give us. Here are our needs:
Gatorade, individually wrapped cookies, and Capri Suns for Saturday.
Assistance serving lunch at Central Hardin and dinner at Adair County.
Show Shirt Orders
Orders from the online store will be delivered and distributed at the end of this week.
We will be opening an online store again soon that will have other band-related spirit wear items.
Grade Checks
The school will start checking student grades next Friday at 9 AM.
Any student who is failing two or more classes is deemed academically ineligible to participate in extra-curricular activities the following Sunday through the next week.
Attendance is one of the primary indicators of student success in any activity. Our number one priority for students is safety, followed closely by academic performance. Please encourage students to stay on top of their homework/grades.

Solo and Ensemble
East Hardin, West Hardin, and Central Hardin are hosting a solo and ensemble event for all students grades 6-12. We will have students performing solos with and without piano accompaniment, duets, trios, quartets, etc. This is an excellent opportunity for students to work on something other than band literature.
The students will perform for a judge and be given a comment sheet and a rating based on their performance that day. The judges are familiar with the literature that the students play and know how long the students have been playing, so they base their ratings on several factors.
Students will receive a rating for their performance.
1 – Distinguished
2 – Proficient
3 – Apprentice
4 – Novice
Solo and Ensemble will take place on Saturday, April 22, 2023 at East Hardin MS.
Performance times will be shared in Google Classroom prior to the performance date.

Friday - Rehearsal and Football Game
We are aware of the 8th grade field trip taking place at East Hardin. Students are allowed to go on the field trip, but doing so will mean they are missing out on the rehearsal before the football game. It is especially important that ALL students attend this rehearsal as we will be covering performance logistics. If a student is planning to attend the field trip, they need to let Mr. Ervin know at Monday's rehearsal.
Saturday - Camp Day 8 AM - 5 PM
Friday Night Football Game
We have our first football game of the season Friday night! Here is our schedule:
4:15 Rehearsal
5:30 Rehearsal Ends
Students should eat and change into uniform at this time.
Food is not provided.

9:30 Approximate End of Game
Students will be dismissed from the band room.
Mattress Fundraiser
We are hosting our 7th Annual Mattress Fundraiser on Saturday, August 27th in the East Hardin Middle School Cafeteria.
This is a VERY easy fundraiser for us. All we have to do is advertise the sale! Students will receive flyers tomorrow and we will send yard signs home sometime this week.
Here's HOW it works:
The company comes to the school and sets up a mattress show room. They will have mattresses at various price points, sizes, firmness levels, etc. They also have sheets, mattress protectors, frames, and pillows. This is the real deal!
The company also provides the salesman (commission free, no-pressure sales by the way) and the payment options (financing available).
On average, we make approximately $100 per mattress sold.
There are CASH incentives for student referrals as well!
Here's WHY it works:
A mattress lasts 10 years on average, so every year 1 in 10 people will purchase a mattress. This means that in Hardin County approximately 10,000 people will purchase a mattress THIS YEAR!
Our job is to get as many of those 10,000 people as possible to buy from us!
If each family could get ONE person to buy a mattress at the sale, we could make over $10,000 with this fundraiser.
Fund-Team Update
We have raised $21,975!
We have one week left to meet our newly adjusted goal of $25,000.
Remember there are incentives for students!
If students get 10 total donations, they will receive a 5 lb bag of Albanese gummy bears.
The student with the most emails submitted will receive $25 CASH.
The student with the most donations will receive $50 CASH.
The student with the highest donation total will receive $50 CASH.
The student with the highest single donation will receive $50 CASH.
Finally, the section (WW, Brass, Percussion, or Guard) with the highest donation total per person will receive a PIZZA PARTY.
Section competition results so far -- it's a tight race for the top spot!
Brass - $193.21 per students
Percussion - $182.39 per student
Color Guard - $171.77 per students
Woodwinds - $162.98 per student

Solo and Ensemble
KMEA District 4 hosts a solo and ensemble (small group) event for all students grades 6-12. We will have students performing solos with and without piano accompaniment, duets, trios, quartets, etc. This is an excellent opportunity for students to work on something other than band literature.
The students will perform for a judge and be given a comment sheet and a rating based on their performance that day. The judges are familiar with the literature that the students play and know how long the students have been playing, so they base their ratings on several factors.
Students will receive a rating for their performance.
1 – Distinguished
2 – Proficient
3 – Apprentice
4 – Novice
If a student performs approved Solo or Ensemble repertoire and receives a Distinguished Rating, he or she can perform at State Solo and Ensemble and receive a rating from a state judge. Receiving a Distinguished at State Solo and Ensemble is a top honor, and is highly regarded by colleges and universities.
Solo and Ensemble will take place on Saturday, April 16, 2022 at John Hardin HS.
Performance times will be shared in Google Classroom prior to the performance date.
To register for Solo and Ensemble, students must fill out the registration form on Google Classroom and submit the audition fee to the black box in the band room.
Solo: $7
Ensemble: $13 total (e.g. a duet would pay $6.50 each)
Practice is a MUST for students enrolled to perform. A commitment to any Solo or Ensemble event must be made and honored.
