HULL HIGH SCHOOL BAND UPDATES

 

 

Senior District Music Festival Auditions

The Senior District Music Festival Auditions were held in Wrentham at King Philip Regional High School on Saturday November 18.  Hull High School sent three of their students, Juniors Sean Healey (trumpet and French horn) and Jimmy Barone (trumpet) and Freshman Maeve Donohue (trumpet).  All three of them audition regularly for the state and local music festivals that are held each year and all three of them have participated one or both of the festivals.  This year was Maeve’s year as she scored high enough to earn a seat in the Senior District Music Festival.  Hull has not had a student in this festival for over 20 years.  Congratulations Maeve! 

 

Hull High School Band Performs at the Dunkin Donuts Center

On November 19^th the High School Band traveled to Providence, RI to attend a Providence Bruins hockey game and perform at the two intermissions.  Twenty-seven members and several family members enjoyed the day and took home many lasting memories. For pictures and video of the event please click on the link below.  The link will only be good until December 3rd.

Thanksgiving Day Football Game

This past Thanksgiving Day the High School Band took another marching step towards becoming Marching Pirates!  This season the band members were introduced to marching on and off the field and creating formations.  The students picked up the marching basics quickly and hopefully next year we will have a traditional marching band camp one week before the school year starts.

Pictured are Drum Majors Sean Healey and Carrie Eleuteri directing the Band; videos of the band can be seen on Facebook at Hull High School Music Department, video courtesy of Mary Powers

Parent Teacher Conferences

Dear Parents/Guardians:

We are currently scheduling Parent-Teacher Conferences.  Evening conferences will take place on Tuesday, November 14 from 5.30PM to 8.20PM, and afternoon conferences will be on Thursday, November 16 from 1.30PM to 3.20PM.  We hope you will take advantage of this time to see all of your students’ teachers.

Hull High School uses the online service: PTCFast.com to make signups for parent-teacher conferences more efficient.  Please enter the following web address into your browser window or go to the Hull High website for the link:

https://www.ptcfast.com/schools/Hull_High_School

 

You will be brought to a website where you can select which teachers you would like to schedule conferences with. (Please check ASPEN for the teachers’ names prior to logging into PTC.Fast for conferences.)  Once you have made your selection, you will be prompted to enter the name(s) of your student(s), and to register using a valid email address.

 

After you complete the registration process, the website will send you an email with a link to schedule your conferences.  In some cases, it may take up to an hour to get your email, so please be patient.  You may also check your spam folder to see if the email was channeled there.

 

Once you receive your email follow the link to select times for your conferences. If you selected multiple teachers, you can use the left/right arrow keys to move between columns to see available appointments.  After you have made your selections, click on the “submit” button at the bottom of the screen to complete the process and receive an email confirmation.

ATHLETIC FACILITY OVERHAUL DAY

On Sunday November 5th volunteers are needed to help spruce up the HHS Athletic Facilities. The projects include weed whacking around all structures, placing equipment in proper areas, picking up all trash (especially under bleaches), cleaning press box and cleaning out and organizing athletic storage rooms in gymnasium. We will begin at 10:00am, the more help we have the faster it will go. We need as many weed whackers as possible. The athletic fields are viewed by hundreds of people on a daily basis and they need to look as good as possible. The community needs to know we care about our facilities. I hope to see many of you Sunday morning and THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!!!
