TAKE NOTEJune 2020 VOLUME 13 ISSUE 10
JOHN HERSEY HIGH SCHOOL BANDS NEWSLETTER
Another “Congrat’s” and “Thank You”
I will extend another “congratulations” and “thank you” to our
graduating Seniors for four great years in our program. It
was a privilege to teach you. Thank you
very much for ALL that you have contributed to our program
- keep playing your instruments and enjoying music!
Thank you, also, to all of our families that
contributed in some way, big or small to our program. The Awards
Banquet was a strange, yet appropriate end to such a bizarre and
challenging school year. I
hope that everyone enjoyed it.

In the event that Illinois opens to allow bands to
congregate, rehearse and perform like Indiana and Ohio, there will
be a late summer concert of the music prepared through April and
May, in addition to a celebration of our Class of 2020. Stay
tuned for more information as our COVID-19 world
continues to evolve.
Color Guard Auditions!
Late Summer Concert
This vital component to our marching band will hold auditions
in
mid to late-July (or earlier) when the
quarantine is relaxed. We need
some serious recruitment this
year!
Smartmusic web-based app and Ultimate Drill Book 2020DO NOT
RENEW YOUR SMARTMUSIC “CLASSIC” OR NEW APPLICATION for
2020-2021!
I will be purchasing smartmusic subscriptions for everyone this
year as part of your band fee – it’s a bit cheaper this way. ALSO,
as part of your band fee, we will be enrolling you in Ultimate
Drill Book, which is an app to use with your phone. You will now
use your phones to learn drill. We will NOT be purchasing
lanyards for the phones this year, they will need to keep them in
pockets (not tucked into their waist) AND the best news for Mr. C –
he gets a notification when you leave this application on
your phone during rehearsal. **smiley face***
2021 Chicagoland Band Festival date will be Saturday, April

MANY CHANGES TO NEXT YEAR’S CALENDAR DUE TO LATE THANKSGIVING
AND
GRADUATION/PROM ANNUAL
-
Page 4
I know that I speak for the entire Board when I express my deep
disappointment that we could not properly celebrate the year’s band
program accomplishments together with the graduating seniors. I
want to personally congratulate the Graduating Seniors for their
many accomplishments in the past four years. It’s been great
watching you work hard, enjoy and support one another and grow
exponentially. I encourage each of you to continue learning and
growing – be bold in your pursuits and keep music in your
hearts!
I want to thank everyone for the honor of serving you in my role
as HIA President this past year. I thoroughly enjoyed supporting
our program and students and am deeply humbled and appreciative of
the great people and experiences that HIA and the Band Program
provided.
To my fellow Board Members, HIA is deeply indebted to your
heroic efforts and service to the Band Program. Your time, talent,
creativity and commitment to ensuring that our students experience
was as rich as it could be is deeply appreciated!
Vice President: Julie Siegel Treasurer: Eric Junkel
Corresponding Secretary: Jen Schmidt Project Chairs: Jenny Stanhope
& Margo Pasek Recording Secretary: Debbie Popp
Julie will be continuing as your 2020-2021 HIA President, Jen
Schmidt will be continuing as Corresponding Secretary, and Jenny
Stanhope will be continuing as Project Chair next year – thank you
so much for your hard work in the past year and for your continued
support!
Please welcome our incoming Vice President Mark Kaiser,
Treasurer David Waltz, and Recording Secretary Amy Grabowski. The
program is in very capable hands! Please support them and the
program by continuing to stay up to date with the newsletters,
email blasts and reminds and by attending the General Board
Meetings, asking questions, sharing your ideas, and by
volunteering. Remember the purpose of HIA is to enrich the student
experience by helping the program “be all that it can be”!

Thank you to the many volunteers this past year; the program
would not be the same without your efforts. A special thanks to the
Committee Chairs, your commitment of time, thoughtfulness, sweat
and (sometimes) tears does not go unnoticed – you are GREATLY
APPRECIATED!
To the band families – thank you for sponsoring the band,
supporting your students, encouraging them and celebrating their
accolades. Please continue to support the program by volunteering,
offering to shadow or chair a position – I promise you that you
will get everything out of it that you put in, and more – and your
students will learn the power of volunteerism through your efforts
– no job is too small, do not be intimidated!
I’d like to thank Mr. Casagrande for his leadership, not just
this year, but every year. The Hersey Band program is truly
magnificent – the lessons that you and the private lesson teachers
teach, the experiences and accomplishments individually and
collectively you have provided will remain with our students the
rest of their lives.
As I sign off, I’d like to once again congratulate our
graduating seniors! Please work hard, be your best self and get
outside of your comfort zone. It’s through challenging ourselves
that we learn, grow and achieve fulfillment and happiness – and I
wish you that above all!
Have a great summer everyone, warmest regards!
For Symphonic Band: Recognition of IMEC performance in January
and
Superstate Honor Band
Our Board of Education would like to acknowledge your
accomplishment and invite you to view a special presentation that
will be shown during the meeting. Even though we're unable to do
this in person due to these unprecedented times, we invite you and
your
family and friends to watch virtually as we recognize you at the
June 11 Board meeting beginning at 7 p.m.
Normally, we would present you with a certificate. In this case,
your certificate(s) will be sent to your school for organized pick
up. You will be notified by your school when this
will happen. The link for viewing the presentation will be
displayed on the District's website on the

Band Camp/Summer/Fall Calendar 20-21!!
READ CAREFULLY and plan accordingly
This year’s rehearsal schedule will be identical to last year’s
summer schedule. Please mark your calendars ASAP. Next Fall, the
marching band will be competing in four competitions, noted below.
In July/August, particularly 7/29-8/7, we will be learning 75% of
what is performed throughout the Fall season. Many of the section
Olympic activities will fall on August 10-11 this year. A small
portion of the June rehearsal time will be spent preparing for the
July 4th parade. A majority of the June rehearsal time will be
spent preparing Fall season material and fundamentals. Therefore,
regardless of attendance at the July 4th parade, June/July
rehearsals are EXTREMELY important. Absences from Summer dates: In
the event of family vacations that conflict with June rehearsals,
an explanation of conflict should be directed to Mr. C from the
parents as soon as possible. Any summer music camps are also
excused; notify Mr. C immediately. Students should make sure that
job schedules, etc. are adjusted. August band camp rehearsals are
mandatory for all. Freshman are STRONGLY encouraged to not miss
June rehearsals. Most of the learning of marching technique happens
in June.
Please adjust calendars and avoid conflicts with the following
dates, particularly in late July/August

of family vacation, however missing these rehearsals makes August
very challenging, particularly for incoming freshman)
