Host German Orchestra students July 4-8

We are hosting 80 guests from out of the country from July 4-8. We are hoping your family would be able to help by taking  in 2 or more guests for this time.  We did this last summer, and many of our host families made friends with whom we still regularly correspond. Most of our visitors speak some English, and many, better than us! PLEASE take advantage of this opportunity, not to help *us*, but because we know you will get so much from the experience! 

You would be expected to provide a clean place to sleep, all meals while our guests are with us, as well as some Port Huron Hospitality while our guests are in town. Show them some neat things about the Blue Water Area!  Please confirm or call for more information at 810-689-4251, 810-966-6976, or email at northern.bands@me.com.  Thanks!

Drum Major

“The most difficult decisions in life are not between ‘right’ and ‘wrong,’ but between ‘right’ and ‘right.’” Dr. Will Peebles

This year has proven to be yet another very difficult leadership audition based upon the quality of the individuals involved who are willing to step forward to offer their talents.

After drawn out deliberation, the decision that the audition team and I have come to will result in including Kate Lubbers and Adam Czubachowski joining Kristi Croteau and Jessica Ankley as  Drum Majors for next year’s marching band and naming Braeden Houle as “Horn Sergeant”.  Although we have had people doing some of the duties of that position in the past, the “Horn Sergeant” position has not been formally named and utilized until now and I *know* we have the right person to bring this position the respect it deserves.

The entire audition committee agreed that there was not a poor audition among them and that any combination of individuals would have brought something wonderful to our program.

One Call Now

Good evening, this is a message from Port Huron Northern Bands on Monday, June 2, 2014

A TWiB was handed out today in the class.  The contents of which are on the front page of PHNBands.org

Jazz Band will rehearse Tuesday Morning, 6:40 AM.

Wind Ensemble and Jazz band are playing for commencement on Tuesday and I’ve asked as many Symphonic Band Members as possible to come pitch in and play for the evening.  It is a fast, low-pressure performance and the seniors, their families, and the school appreciates the performance.

Wind ensemble seniors, please make sure you bring in all of your remaining music and make sure you have mouthpieces and instruments ready to perform Escapade.  We will have music waiting for you.

Wind ensemble members, please bring in any remaining music you have at home.

All male band students turn in tuxedos.

Thank you!
