11-18-24 Newsletter

The Haynes Marching Band has been outstanding this year! We add tons of excitement to the game, and we look and sound good doing it. We've now marched for multiple halftime performances, and have received several compliments from parents and community members. Most importantly, we have loads of fun during the game, and we invite all of our middle school musicians to join us!

A special THANK YOU goes out to everyone who was prompt in picking up their student :)

Our next Marching Band performance will be Thursday Nov. 21 (weather permitting). (See details below.)

Veterans Day @ Sunrise Assisted Living

Congratulations to our 7th and 8th Grade Band, who performed on Veterans Day for our neighbors at Sunrise Assisted Living.
