Welcome to the new web home of the Hillsboro High School Band Program  
Beginning with the 2011-2012 school year, this web address will be the online home of the Hillsboro High School Bands. The pages on this site will be your best source of information straight from the directors of the Hawk Bands and will be updated frequently. As of yet it is still a work in progress so we ask for your patience as we strive to make the site fully operational.
Kindest Regards, Brett Myers Tim Dedert Kevin Blair Instrumental Music Instructors; Hillsboro R-3 School District

BAND CAMP PREPARATIONS/REMINDERS Band camp is upon us once again and as we begin another exciting marching season we would like to pass along a few reminders. Student Leadership and Staff Breakfast will take place on Monday July 25h at 9am in the high school commons. This is a mandatory meeting for all members of the Marching Hawks Student Leadership Staff. The directors will be discussing expectations for the year as well as going over rehearsal schedules for camp and other important information. Breakfast will be provided by the Hawks Band Support Team. Freshman Marching Camp will take place on Monday July 25th and Tuesday July 26th from Noon-3pm as scehduled. Only dinner will be provided during full ensemble camp so please eat a good, healthy lunch prior to arriving at school. WE WILL BE OUTSIDE unless otherwise directed by our administration so it is important to stay hydrated and take care of your body in the extreme heat. Ways to Beat the Heat - Eat a filling and healthy breakfast with complex carbs
- Hydrate before arriving at school (drink water with your breakfast)
- BRING A WATER JUG (water is provided but it always helps to have your own)
- Apply sunscreen before you leave home and bring it with you to reapply every hour or two.
- Wear a hat and sunglasses to protect from direct sunlight.
- NO SODA, ENERGY DRINKS or the like.
- Wear a light colored shirt if at all possible.
Enjoy the rest of your summer. We'll see you on Monday!
