The EAA Chapter 190 Monthly Fly-in Breakfast takes place on the 3rd Saturday of every month. Breakfast is served rain or shine. This is a wonderful fundraiser project. It’s a great opportunity to learn about aviation and the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA). To give a little history, the EAA Young Eagles program was launched in 1992 to give interested young people, ages 8-17, an opportunity to fly in a general aviation airplane. These flights are free of charge and are made possible through the generosity of EAA member volunteers. Flight Disclaimer: The Student’s parent/guardian must be present to sign a waiver to fly.
The BHS Band/CG provides buffet-style breakfast. There’s a wide range of folks who come out to enjoy our breakfast like Pilots and their family/friends who fly into Moontown from near and far, Boy Scout groups, and our local communities. The breakfast menu may include: Scrambled eggs, sausage, pancakes, grits, gravy, biscuits, fruit, orange juice, and coffee.
Volunteers are responsible for: Service line set up, cooking, replenishing the breakfast buffet items/supplies, and Cleanup. Most importantly we want to make our guests feel welcomed and we must show our appreciation for their generous donations and support.
If you are interested, please sign up through CHARMS>Calendar>Go to ****>Click on the little hand once spots are open.
Please wear comfortable tennis shoes and clothing, preferably your BHS band shirts if you still have one. It is important that we represent BHS Band/CG just at Mr. Souder expects everyone to during all events we participate in. Even if you don’t volunteer, we want to encourage everyone to come out and support BHS Band/CG and EAA Chapter 190. The cost is $7 for Adults and $5 for Children.
Super Chix Fundraiser
**Any students who are scheduled to take the ACT test that morning need to let me know by the end of this week. Those students will be excused from the morning rehearsal but need to coordinate/communicate call time/departure on the day.
Here is the tentative itinerary and event details including ATTIRE requirements:
The event itself will schedule a maximum of 12 bands 5 -8 PM followed by a special exhibition performance by the UNA Marching Band! We do not yet know what specific time our band will perform but we will be attending to see all bands regardless of our performance time. It will be highly educational and enjoyable!
Admission is $7 for adults, $3 for students. Military and children under 12 get in free.
Our performing students & equipment crew will get in free.
There will be two gates to enter where symptoms and temperatures will be checked. We will check our students/staff/volunteers at departure call time, before loading up.
Face coverings and row skipping will be required & sanitizer will be available throughout the stadium.
ATTIRE: Because we couldn’t use our official uniforms and I have been lenient about specific attire for our football game performances, now that we have this opportunity to have a large-venue final season performance, we need to look as uniform as possible.
The Buckhorn Band has always been known for its class and professionalism. Visual appearance is a huge part of that!
– All students MUST wear CLEAN (non-hole, non-abrasion) BLUE jeans WITH BELT!
– All students MUST have and wear a CLEAN (non-faded) BAND SHIRT (Come see me one morning if you need a replacement because yours doesn’t fit or is faded.)
– If it is not too cool, we will march in t-shirts. If it is going to be chilly when we perform, All students MUST have/wear their band jackets if they purchased one. Those who purchased this year – they are out for delivery, should be here by the end of the week. Those who don’t/won’t have one need to coordinate having/wearing something very similar like a hoodie or sweatshirt – ONLY NAVY BLUE with limited writing. Please let me know if you need help finding an item like this!
**Other items like additional jacket, blanket, gloves, beanie can be worn in stands but not to perform.
– Tennis shoes should also be clean – avoid wearing bright and distracting designs.
– HAIR is part of attire. Be sure your head/hair looks clean and brushed. Long-hair students MUST tie their hair up so it is pulled back.

This is being planned especially for those who have not been able to attend a performance this year. I formally invite and encourage ALL parents, families, and friends to attend this last opportunity to see what our incredible students have accomplished this season. We won’t just perform the show itself but do some demonstrations of what we do on a day-to-day basis and how it all works! You won’t want to miss it! (There is plenty of room for social distancing in the home stands.)
We invite ALL friends, family, and fans of any kind to come see what our truly incredible students have accomplished this year, especially with very limited time and preparation! This show has really become one of the best we’ve ever had despite the circumstances. And that is a testament to our students’ talent and hard work.
I have invited Buckhorn cluster teachers, admin, and employees. Please help us spread the word (since there is plenty of room on the home side of our stadium)!
If you’re looking for a delicious way to help the band, visit El Monte on Wednesday, November 4th. When you check out, let them know you’re with the Buckhorn High School Band and a portion of their proceeds will come back to us.
What better way to start the week than by helping our Band? And you get a great meal as a bonus! Stop by Schlotzsky’s Deli on University Drive anytime on Monday, November 16th. When you check out, let them know you’re with the Band and we’ll receive a portion of the proceeds.
