Handshue Scholarship Application and Faculty Benefit Recital

The Handshue Lesson Scholarship was established in 2015 as a way to honor the dedication of Dave and Carol Handshue.  The pair served on the band staff for Hilliard City Schools for over 20 years, giving tirelessly of their time and energy to help build the outstanding program that we all enjoy today.  They were both passionate about private lessons and provided affordable lessons to interested students for years.

The winners will be chosen by a selection committee that will determine the most deserving students based on their applications, director input, and financial need.  30 students will be selected to receive the scholarship, of which 10 will come from each of the 3 schools (Tharp, Weaver, and Davidson).  The scholarship will fund 6 months of private study, further details will be shared with the winners after selection.

We will be accepting applications through Friday, November 16th.  We ask that every student who is interested be integral in completing this application.  Winners will be announced at the Faculty Benefit Concert on Tuesday, December 4th in the Davidson PAC.  If you are interested in this scholarship, please use the following link to apply.

Marching Band Practices- school year calendar.

Now that we are into the school year, please remember that practice is everyday Monday- Thursday after school from 3-5pm.  If you have an issue with attending all or part of a rehearsal, please be sure to communicate this to Mr. Shultz PRIOR to the absence.  As always, being water and your best attitude to rehearsal.  It may also be wise to bring a snack for after school as many students eat lunch before 11am.  Thanks.

Please also see our Calendar of Events to make sure you know what is coming up on the horizon.  We work hard to get everything we can possibly think of posted on that calendar.  With that said, please reach out if you find something we have missed or incorrectly publicized- we would LOVE to know about those items so we can all stay accurately informed.

Superhero 5K

We had a FANTASTIC event this year and that is thanks to all those who helped organize, manage, fundraise, advertise, and run the event.  It takes many months and hours of planning to get an event like this to be as successful as ours and we are so grateful to everyone for their work.

Stay tuned for details about next year’s event and how you can get involved!  Please reach out if you have ideas, feedback, or want to express interest in helping for future races.  We are always eager to improve and love welcoming new faces into our community.
