Hudson Hawk Band Updates

Welcome New Directors!

3 New Directors

We want to welcome our 3 new band directors for the 2026-2027 school year - they are bringing tons of knowledge and are very excited to get to carry on the Hudson Band legacy of excellence.

Mr. Ryan Yett - Director of Bands

Mr. Max Mucino - Assistant Band Director

Mr. Justin Slaughter - Assistant Band Director

They are getting set up with Presto accounts this week and I know you'll hear from them soon! My last request of you is to welcome them all with open arms and warm hearts. They have so much to offer and I know you are in good hands!

Summer Info

Summer Music Packets

If you are looking for music to practice this summer, check out these packets of music. Many students received these packets on the last day of school, but if you were absent or didn't get one for some reason, this should give you something to work on over the summer. Make sure you keep your skills up so you can start 2026-2027 on the right foot!

Advanced Bands Required Supplies

Much like the beginner band year, as students continue with band there are new/different/extra supplies that will be needed. Many of these are the same supplies that we requested for this past year, so if your student will be an 8th grader, they likely already have these supplies. Please make sure your student has these supplies when school starts in August. The supplies on the list have been linked to Amazon to try and make it super easy for you - just add to cart and check out!

Looking Ahead

2026-2027 HMS Band Calendar

The band calendar for the 2026-2027 school year is set, with very few events left unscheduled. You can find the calendar here.

Farewell

Thanks for the Memories!

As this year comes to a close, we want to thank you all for your support and love this year (and throughout the years). Hudson is a very special place and the band program is top notch. You have all worked so hard to build a lasting legacy and we could not be more proud. We love you and we will miss you!

Our last request of you is to go into next year and the years ahead with an open mind, open heart, and positive attitude. Change is always challenging, but growth occurs the most when you step outside of your comfort zone and try hard things. Keep pushing yourselves to do your very best, to try new things, and to work together to push the Hudson Band to even new heights.

Be kind to each other and keep showing the world what the Hudson Band is all about!

Thank You to Our Sponsors!

Supply Lists

Beginner Band Supply Lists

You can find all of the Beginner Band supply lists for each instrument on our band website. They're found on the handouts page, where there's also a list of our recommended music stores that can help you rent instrument or purchase necessary supplies. Don't wait to get your supplies ordered - it takes a few days for the stores to fill the orders and you don't want your student to miss out on the first sounds of the year with their class!
