Hello Marching Band Family,
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE MARCHING ARABIANS ON A GOLD PERFORMANCE AT REGIONALS!!!
We are so proud of you and excited to see you perform at Semi-State!
Here are a few reminders and a list of some of the things we have coming up:
- Be sure to check out the action photos by Tracy Oler:
PHHS Marching Band at Homestead
- BATTLE OF THE CLASSES!
- We have a very generous marching band parent who is going to match each class donation up to $600 for 1 WEEK like last year. This contest will run for 1 week per class and you can donate by Venmo, cash on Thursday nights or any time Kelly Ploughe will be at the school.
This is a FANTASTIC way to raise money for our band program. EVERY SINGLE PENNY raised goes back to the marching band season for props,food, extras needed for ALL the students. The money from this fundraiser only goes to items that are used for the whole band.
So far the JUNIOR class is in the lead! Sophomores, what do you say?? This is YOUR week!

- As always, a very big thank you to our transportation, food, uniform, spirit, bus, pit and props teams for all you do!
We appreciate all of your hard work and your time donated to the band!
It takes the help of many, many family members and friends to successfully put on each performance. With teams for props, food, bus chaperones, pit crew, spirit team & transportation (just to name a few) there is a place for everyone to pitch in and be involved. Thank you for all you do to help our students and the band program. Please make sure you get those background check forms completed and sent to phbandvol@gmail.com. As always, we can’t do this without your help.
