A Note from Our Director of Bands, Dan McNally (8/26/09)I hope this finds everyone well. This Friday night is our first performance. We have the first two pieces with music to perform for Friday. The students are working extremely hard (as you have probably heard at home) and are stepping up each rehearsal.
I need two chaperones for this trip!!! This is one of 7 trips I need two chaperones. If you are able to do this please let me know.
If you can work any of these games, please contact me. A Note from Our Director of Bands, Dan McNally (8/11/09)
As the summer comes to an end and another school year begins, I hope this finds everyone well. There are several important topics I would like to bring to your attention:
We had a very successful camp and we are excited for the competition season to begin. I would like to thank everyone who helped in any way to pull off a great week of camp!!
We do have several students that have camp fees ($150.00) still out. Please remember if you are on fee waiver, camp fees are notcovered; however, the fall fee is waived. The fall fee of $200.00 is due on September 1st. To have a nationally recognized program and consistently be competitive at State and regional competitions, it requires money. Within the last year, I have had most of the universities in Tennessee call to ask about our program, and specific students in it. We have placed at national competitions. We have had several calls to perform with and for universities such as Vanderbilt. We have received the highest rating for concert band that the state offers. These are just a few of the many accolades we have received in two years. One of the main reasons for our success: I have been able to hire some of the best staff available for our students, but it is costly and requires everyone to help in some way.
Please make plans to attend our booster meetings on September 7th at 7 pm. We will be discussing many important items with regards to our band. If you have any comments or suggestions, please attend and have a voice.

Please take note of the updated schedule as we have made several schedule changes to the calendar:
Thank you for your time, and what you do to help the Harpeth Band ~Dan McNally
