Wow, there's only two weeks left in our 2025 Marching Band season! Let's finish the year on a strong note!


CIF Play-Off Football Game This Friday, 11/7 


HBHS Varsity Football made CIF Play-offs!


This Friday, we will be performing at the HBHS Varsity Football game @ HBHS. The game is against Edison, and Edison is actually the home team. So we will be playing in the away stands, and won't perform at half-time or do our pre-game routine. We will also not be in uniform. But we will still be there to cheer on the team!


No volunteers are needed since we won't be doing uniforms or a concessions stand. But please still come out to support our students and the team!



Next Oiler Music Guild Booster Parent Meeting This Thursday


This Thursday, Nov 6th at 7pm


Please plan on coming to our next parent meeting this Thursday @ 7pm in the M-Building Band Room. We will be discussing some important updates about hosting champs so please attend! We will also be sending out a zoom link later in the week.


2025 CSBC Championships


Another reminder, we will once again be hosting the California State Band Championships @ HBHS on Nov 22nd! Only 3 weeks away.


This annual event is our program's biggest fundraising source. We make about a quarter of our entire annual budget from this single day.


We Need Our Amazing Parent Volunteers Again

We cannot pull off an event of this magnitude without the help of every single band family. This is another important event for our program, and most importantly the students who benefit from its success.


We'll need help staffing a variety of roles (like parking, concessions, ushering, grilling, etc), and we'll also need plenty of donations like drinks and baked goods to sell at concessions.


Volunteer sing-ups are now live here. Job descriptions can be found there as well. Our biggest need is in the evening, and helping clean up after the competition is over. Please consider signing up for one of those shifts if you are available!


***Please remember all marching band families need to volunteer 25 hours each year. This is a great way to knock out a lot of those hours in a couple shifts!***


If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out: afloyd@hbuhsd.edu
