LHAB Bylaws and Policies Updates

The Board of Directors, in response to comments from members since last year’s adoption of the new bylaws, made some minor changes and updates to the Bylaws and the Policies document.  The changes will be up for vote at the annual business meeting on October 4, 2016.  

The changes are highlighted on the documents you will find at: http://www.lhab.org/bylaws

Please review these and be ready to cast your vote of approval at the meeting.

New or Changed for 2016 Band Day

New or Changed for 2016 Band Day

• The Friday night rehearsal and business meeting will be held in Scholz's Saengerrunde Halle on the south end of Scholz's Garten (inside with air conditioning!)

• Our seats in DKR Memorial Stadium have been moved from the upper deck BACK DOWN to field level in Section 32!  Section 32 is located at the southeast end of the stadium.  We express our most sincere thanks to LHB Director Scott Hanna and Athletic Director Mike Perrin for making this move possible!

Reminder: Online registration closes at 5:00 pm on Wednesday, October 12! Mail-in registration must be postmarked no later than Friday, October 7.

**Please note: There will be no late registration processed after Friday night.  Saturday morning is for pre-registered members to pick up materials prior to rehearsal.

Instrument & Equipment Checkout

It’s time to dust off those horns again!  

We are anticipating another great turnout this year, so here is the general info on instruments:

1) Please REGISTER EARLY to reserve an instrument if you need one.  We have a very limited amount of instruments and if you wait until Friday night, we cannot guarantee the correct instrument for you.  

REMINDER: we do not own any woodwind instruments to check out, so please bring your own.  Also, if you can borrow an instrument from a friend, family member, or local school, PLEASE DO!  We are looking into getting more mellos, TUBA!s, and percussion, but as always, we anticipate having a limited amount. 

**More Tubas and Drums**

Just today (10/4/16), we have been officially informed that LHB is giving LHAB additional instruments as follows:

• 15 tubas
• 10 snare drums
• 6 tenor drums
• 5 bass drums

If you registered and weren’t able to reserve a tuba or drum because the inventory showed “0” left, Ben Lee Schneider will be working to add this inventory and correct your “order” for an instrument.

2) Instrument selection is on a first come, first served basis. Please show up early, because those who do will be given priority when selecting an instrument.  

3) TUBA!s and Mellos: bring your own mouthpiece and valve oil.  Mellos: be aware that we own “F” Mellos, as that has been an issue in the past.  Percussion: bring your own mallets! We do not own any.

4) Instruments will be handed out at our Annual Meeting on Friday, Ocotber 14 (5:00-6:45pm at Scholz Garten). Look for the U-Haul truck!  

5) If by chance you still have an instrument from last year, please contact me so I can update our inventory.  

6) If you ABSOLUTELY cannot attend on Friday and you cannot have someone else pick up you instrument for you, please contact me.  

7) It's your responsibility to make sure your instrument is checked in following the game. Load it back on the U-Haul or you may incur a replacement fee if it's lost.

I look forward to seeing everyone again this year!  And please, BRING YOUR OWN INSTRUMENT IF POSSIBLE!!!   

If you have any questions, send an e-mail to jaime_r_luna@yahoo.com.

CALL TO!: Band Day Section Leaders

Band Day is coming, and we'll take the field once again to relive some of the best times of our lives.  We'll see old friends, play the old songs, and perform at half time, watching ourselves on the 'Tron while thinking, "Damn, we are still pretty good at this!"

Well, a lot of that credit will go to your skills, of course, but producing the show from scratch to finished product requires some hard work by some dedicated Alumni... our section leader volunteers. Just like in the LHB, we depend on them for on the field leadership that allows us to put a show together, ready to perform, in two hours.  We never know exactly how many Alumni will show up on Saturday, and the massed band drill is only a rough sketched, but we have to fill in the details on the field.  Without the experienced section leader corps to help teach the show, we'd never get it done.

For those regular volunteers, thank you for serving again. If you haven't stepped up before, now is the time to do your turn.  Don't worry if you haven't been a LHAB section leader before, you'll be doing just what you've done before.  I want to especially encourage our younger members to volunteer.  First, it is a great way to meet people, a great way to get involved in LHAB, and we'll need help learning the newer LHB styles of marching!

If you are interested in volunteering as a Section Leader during Band Day, you can email me directly at siharmon@aol.com or sign-up as a Section Leader on the Registration form. Thanks to each of you for volunteering again, and we’ll see you at Band Day!

Hook ‘em!
