Please see the showcase event page for ticket information. Tickets are available for purchase on the website and at the stadium. What is the rain plan? In the event of inclement weather VMBC and Herndon Event Coordinator will contact directors with delay, standstill, indoor performance or cancellation scenarios.

Please bring a fully-charged cell phone, a flexible attitude, and a big smile. Can I cheer during the performance? Cheering is part of the whole experience; so, of course, you can cheer. The bands love to hear the crowd respond to the great music and precise drill execution. Remember, though, cheering at the wrong time is distracting and may unnerve some of the performers. So, give the performers all the positive feedback they deserve while on the field. What is the best way to enjoy the performances? Be an active audience member. If you see something you like during a performance, applaud or cheer. After the performance, if you see a band member, congratulate them on a great performance.

The bathrooms are located by the concession stand just inside the entrance to the stadium. What do I wear? Adults wear red or black shirts. HHS band students should wear their show shirts, HHS students should wear Herndon shirts, HMS and Elementary students should wear their band shirt or Herndon Pyramid shirts.

We welcome photographers and videographers from the stands or on the track. VMBC will not be allowing band representative in the press box. What do I do when I get to my volunteer station? Check-in with the area supervisor. Stay at your station until replacement arrives. Please notify the Volunteer Coordinator at Door 7 should you have to leave early. What do volunteers and bands do if it rains? HHSBPA follows the FCPS Inclement Weather Policy. Light rain will not hamper this event. In the event that there is heavy rain or lightning, each area will be instructed on where to report. We have procured access to key areas of the school building so that everyone will have a safe place to go. When is the event over? The estimated end time is after 9:30 p.m. Sections will be assigned for clean-up duties, and we kindly request everyone's assistance in this effort. Please ensure that volunteers contribute to clean up by removing any trash and litter, paying special attention to areas under the bleachers. If you have additional clean-up needs or questions, please check in at the Drama Room or Command and Control for guidance. Clean-up operations encompass various tasks, including but not limited to: restore the fence that is removed for band entry return all tables used outside to the Cafeteria restore the concession stand and packing up unused materials dismantle and packing up the auxiliary concession stand restore the Drama Room ensure that the school grounds are litter free return school to operational condition before the last volunteer can go home Please remember while we strive for excellent organization and meticulous planning, we acknowledge that unforeseen changes and deviations from the schedule can occur. Nevertheless, drawing from our extensive experience, we are confident that the event will be smoothly executed and highly successful, and everyone will enjoy the occasion.

CutTime and TalkingPoints information for Herndon High School Band students and families CUTTIME & TALKINGPOINTS We use TalkingPoints to send text reminders to families that automatically translate to a preferred language. Please make sure you are signed up for FCPS TalkingPoints to receive messages. More information can be found here Download Parents TalkingPoints for iOS and Android: All student data is managed through CutTime – email communication, instrument inventory, uniforms, and more. Every cell phone number that is registered here will receive a text inviting families to login and update their personal information Hello Herndon Band Families! / ¡Hola familias de Herndon Band! This year we are using a new system called CutTime to track fees for instrument rentals, trips, and winter programs. At this time, please select “Back to dashboard” above to view your student’s dashboard and confirm that there are no charges due. Note that some unpaid fees from last year were carried over. Fees can be paid through MySchoolBucks or by sending a check (to HHS) or cash to Mrs. Bradley in the front office. If you have any questions, please contact me at finance@herndonband.org . From now on, an automated statement will be sent at the start of each month to families with a balance due. If you need help navigating CutTime, they offer a series of help videos here : . Este año estamos utilizando un nuevo sistema llamado CutTime para rastrear las tarifas de alquiler de instrumentos, viajes y programas de invierno. En este momento, seleccione “Back to dashboard” arriba para ver el panel de sus estudiantes y confirmar que no hay cargos adeudados. Tenga en cuenta que algunas tarifas no pagadas del año pasado se prorrogaron. Las tarifas se pueden pagar a través de MySchoolBucks o enviando un cheque (al HHS) o efectivo a la señora Bradley en la oficina principal. Si tiene alguna pregunta, contácteme en finance@herndonband.org . A partir de ahora, se enviará una declaración automatizada al comienzo de cada mes a las familias con un saldo adeudado. Si necesita ayuda para navegar por CutTime, ofrecen una serie de videos de ayuda aquí: Magic Links and "Log Ins" No More Need for a Username and Password A username and password are authentication conventions that have existed since the 1980s. We use a newer, more seamless way to authenticate a user in software called "magic links," which have been around for about a dozen years—no more usernames and passwords for guardians and students/members. What Are Magic Links? Instead of members and guardians going to a login page to see their program's details in CutTime, they will open their cell phone messaging app or email and find a text or email message from CutTime. Inside of this notification will be their personalized and secure magic link - meaning that this is unique to that individual's cell phone number or email address, and acts as their "login". Much like a username and password, an individual's magic link should not be shared by members and guardians with anyone else. SMS as the Primary Communication Method The CutTime next gen system uses SMS as its primary means of notification to members and guardians. This means that CutTime will first send communications to the cell phone # on file for a member or guardian. Should the message bounce, the individual opt out, or there is no number/email on file, the system will then send out an email instead. Opting Out of SMS Messaging Members and guardians do have the option to choose email as their primary form of communication. They can reply "STOP" to the CutTime number in response to the message to opt out of text messaging. As long as they have an email listed in their profile, the system will then resort to using email to send them messages from CutTime.
