Handshue Scholarship
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 within 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.
Congratulations to the 30 winners of this year’s scholarship. Please talk to one of the band directors for more details.
Tag Day!!
We had a fantastic day canvassing Hilliard on Saturday, August 24th. So many community members showed tremendous generosity and support of our program. Thanks to everyone that helped drive our students, organize the event, and feed our team after all was said and done. We have an amazing group of student and parents always do an outstanding job.
If you want to contribute to the band program, you still can! Use the following link to donate online:
Marching Band Practices and 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, bring 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.
