If you attended the Band Booster meeting on Tuesday, February 2, 2010 you learned that the marching band will be taking a trip to see West Side Story on Broadway during band camp week. A fundraiser is being offered to help defray the cost. Students must take the responsibility of helping their parents by participating in this fundraiser. If a student sells just 20 pies, their entire trip will be paid in full.

Each student participating in the National Memorial Day Parade is required to complete an essay project. If you lost your rubric, you can get another copy from Mr. Martino. The top two or three essays will allow those students to represent our band by placing a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetary. This is a mandatory assignment and will be graded using the EHHS Student Expectation #5A which could be found on the EHHS website.
