North Buncombe High School Blackhawk Band

Who we are
NBHS is proud to foster a music program which strives to mold its students into not only talented musicians, but responsible young adults who aspire to become involved in a community rich in the cultural arts. We are proud to be led by an alumnus of our NBHS music program.

Headline News

Help Wanted!
The Band Boosters are seeking a new webmaster for our blackhawkband.com website. A well qualified candidate will have proficiency in MS Access and Visual Basic in addition to basic HTML and CSS, and be able to devote several hours per weekend (and often additional time during the week) to update and maintain the website.
We regret that after a year and a half of serving as a "temporary, interim webmaster", Jim Boyer will be stepping down as soon as a qualified replacement can be installed. Volunteers seeking to fill this position (or anyone wishing to nominate a qualified individual) should contact Gretchen Kull.

All-County Band Tryouts
Conrgatulations to all of those students who auditioned for All County Band! North Buncombe Schools (both Middle and High School) will have a very strong representation at the county level this school year with the incredible number of student musicians who have achieved this honor. Results will be posted soon.

Holiday Concert
Our Holiday Concert date has changed to Wednesday, December 18, at 7:00pm in the NBHS Theater, due to a scheduling conflict with the NBMS Holiday Concert. Call time for band students is 6:00pm in the Band room. Attire is white shirts or blouses, black pants or skirts (modest length), black shoes and socks and optional holiday tie. The NBBB will be hosting a dessert social and bake sale starting at 6:00pm, continuing during intermission and after the concert. If you can provide baked goods, please contact Sheryl Bryan (wikiwikifish@charter.net) or Lisa Peebles (lmpeebs@yahoo.com) to arrange pick-up/drop-off, or bring them to the school by 5:00 on the day of the concert. Plan to attend this festive concert!

Fundraising
Check out our SignUp Genius page for all of our opportunities, including Pearl Harbor events. Below are some specific fundraising events:

Ingles cards: These are available by texting any of the following people to purchase cards: Nan Forgie (at the High School) at 828-777-8945; Liz Drake at 828-215-6439; Melanie Ballard at 828-230-5235; Lorraine Silverman at 828-230-5328.
Basketball Concessions: Thanks to all of you who have signed up to work concessions at our home basketball games! We still have openings for games on January 11 and February 14.
US Cellular Center Concessions: We are looking for several hard working volunteers for the next U.S. Cellular Center event, the Warren Haynes Christmas Jam on December 13th and 14th. Yes, the hours are long and the work is hard (well, messy), but the camaraderie is great! And you get to hear some fantastic music! You do not need to take the USCC training to work this event (we will pair you up with an experienced volunteer), but do need to do the ALE training and bring your certificate to the first event you work. This is our last event of the calendar year, but we are working on events for the winter and spring…stay tuned!

If for some reason you cannot complete the volunteer job you have signed up to do, please contact the designated coordinator for that event (located on the SignUp Genius page) or Dawn Felder at 828-775-3536 or dawnfelder@charter.net. This will give us time to call in another volunteer. Thanks for all you are doing to help the band!
