From the Director It has been an honor to witness the growth of our members both musically and as human beings over the past ten years. When I first visited the construction site of our school in 2006, I was overcome by a powerful feeling that this is where I was supposed to be. I have been thoroughly blessed to have amazing students, parents, administration, and community members who shared my vision of excellence and have helped to bring many dreams to reality. Together we have accomplished some amazing things in a short period of time. None of this would be possible without the belief that what we are doing is important, that the essence of band means working together for the common good, and a great work ethic. Our members have worked diligently to prepare challenging programs to share with you. We have always had the audience in mind with our productions, and I hope you have enjoyed listening and watching them as much as we have enjoyed preparing them. Thank you to all of the supporters listed in our program, as well as our 10th anniversary Alumni Reunion and Celebration Team, Band Booster Executive Board, Band Booster Volunteers, Fine Arts Department, Technical Theater Students, Transportation Crew, and staff and administration of HSHS. You help us make all of this possible, and you will never fully know how valuable you really are. A special thank you to Mike Oare. I am so glad that we were able collaborate once again on such a meaningful celebration for our program. I have enjoyed calling you a mentor and friend for so many years, and look forward to continuing a partnership for many years to come. To my family, words cannot fully express how much you mean to me. This career choice keeps me away from home a lot, however, you are always in my thoughts. I would not enjoy these successes without you in my life. My parents first encouraged me to pursue music, and knew at an early age what truly inspired me. Thank you for supporting me throughout this journey. I have truly enjoyed the future of tomorrow. It has moved my heart to see so many alums return and take part in this celebration. I am so proud of your accomplishments and what you are contributing to society. I never doubted it. To my seniors, I have always wanted the best for you and pushed you to achieve when you sometimes did not think you had it in you. I hope you will stay in touch and visit often. I look forward to hearing about all of the great things that you will continue to accomplish in your life. You are the best!

THE HOLLY SPRINGS HIGH SCHOOL GOLDEN HAWKS BAND PROGRAM Tenth Anniversary Alumni Reunion & Celebration Concert Performed by the Holly Springs High School Wind Ensemble Michael E. Biasi, Conductor

PREMIERING “On Golden Wings” Composed and Conducted by Michael Oare, Director of Bands Great Bridge Middle School Chesapeake, Virginia Tuesday, May 24, 2016

Holly Springs High School Holly Springs, NC

Reception 6:00 pm with music provided by the HSHS Jazz Ensemble

Concert 7:30 pm

Concert Etiquette A performer’s intense concentration can be interrupted by little things that may seem trivial to audience members. The following suggestions will help audience members show respect to the performers on stage, as well as other members of the audience. When to Applaud Performers always appreciate applause, but there are appropriate moments to applaud. In a multi-movement work, applaud after all movements are completed. This allows the continuity of the piece to flow from one movement to the next. “Hooting and hollering” is not appropriate in the concert setting. Arrival Time Arrive early to allow enough time for traffic and parking. If you do arrive late, wait by the doors until the first piece (not just a movement) is finished, then discreetly take the nearest seat available. Entering and Exiting the Auditorium Never enter or exit the auditorium during a performance. If you must enter or exit, please wait until the performance on stage has been completed. The most appropriate times to move about are during audience applause or set changes. Talking Talking should not be tolerated. It is not only distracting to the performers, but to every person in the audience. While seemingly innocent, even whispering can be heard during a musical performance. If someone around you is talking, ask them nicely to please stop. Other Noises Avoid rustling your program, tapping your foot, bouncing your legs, etc. Pagers and cell phones should be turned off. Watches set to beep on the hour should also be turned off. These high-pitched beeps are distracting to the performance and audience members. Coughing It is hard to avoid a spontaneous cough. Be prepared with some type of cough drops or candies. Avoid cellophane wrappers. Many come with a soft wax-paper wrapping that will be much less noisy. Taking Pictures Refrain from taking any photographs during a performance. The click of a camera and especially the flash are very distracting. Pictures should be taken after the performance. Children Children need exposure to good music and live performances. If your young child begins to get restless in the middle of a performance, it may be best that you exit the auditorium until calmer times prevail.

By following basic edicts of respect and consideration, performers and the audience will have a more pleasurable and meaningful experience as they perform and attend live concerts.

ScrambleSecond Annual GHB TOURNAMENT FORMAT: CAPTAIN’S CHOICE Captain’s Choice is a very popular format for golf fund raising events because it does not require each golfer to play alone. This format is fun for all ages and all skills levels; even those who don’t play a lot of golf. In a scramble, each player tees off on each hole. The best of the tee shots is selected and all players play their second shots from that spot. The best of the second shots is determined, then all play their third shots from that spot, and so on until the ball is holed. One mulligan per player can be purchased for $5. This allows the purchasing player to re-hit one shot of their choice anywhere on the golf course. The mulligan WILL NOT be allowed on any of the hole-in-one prize holes as per rules and regulations of Subaru.

CONTESTS AND PRIZES! The First and Second Place teams will each be awarded with a GHB Scramble plaque, as well as gift certificates from Dick’s Sporting Goods. Hole-in-One Prizes: Hole #4: 3-Year Lease of a 2016 Subaru XV Crosstrek Hole #8: Vacation for 4 at Lajitas Golf Resort & Spa in Lajitas, Texas Hole #12: $500 Nike Shopping Spree Hole #18: Krank Golf® Formula 6 Driver Almost every hole will be designated for the Closest to the Hole contest with prizes awarded.

Putting Contest: A LONG putt on the practice putting green as players move from Hole 9 to Hole 10. Purchase one attempt for $5 or two attempts for $10. The closest 3 putts will each win a prize of their choice donated by our sponsors. If two people putt the ball in the hole, the first person to do so will choose their prize first.

The 50/50 Raffle has been accumulating money for several months and has exceeded $300! Raffle tickets can be purchased throughout the tournament: $5 per ticket or $10 for 3 tickets. The raffle will stay open until the Tenth Anniversary Alumni Reunion and Celebration on Tuesday, May 24th, where the winner’s name will be randomly drawn during the event and the final amount will be split 50/50 between the winner and the Band Program. The winner does not have to be present to win.

I’m Don Schwenneker, aka Big Weather, and I’m the morning meteorologist for ABC 11 Eyewitness News. I’ve been lucky enough to be honored with two Associated Press Awards for Best Weathercast, the Certified Broadcast Meteorologist seal from the American Meteorological Society, and a Seal of Approval from the National Weather Association. Music, and the arts, has always played a big role in my life. At 13, my father left our family. I then had to make a choice. There were two paths I could head down. Music helped me choose the right path. Music, and the arts, is the reason I am who I am today. It is unbelievably important to support kids in pursuit of music in their lives. You never know how it might help them choose a different path than the one they are facing. It’s why I’m here today and why I support the HSHS GHB Scramble. Thank you for your support of this great event, and these great kids!
