10.16.26 - IMPORTANT CHANGE - Senior Night has been moved to Friday, 10/23, due to a change in the game schedule from 7pm to 5pm to avoid inclement weather expected later this evening.

FRIENDS & FAMILY NIght

10.03.26 - The more, the merrier! We invited friends and family to join the Pep Band for a night during our away game at Middletown South. We were joined by students from Ocean HS and Trinity Hall and it was fun to expand our instrumentation and share the fun evening with friends. We hope to continue the tradition and have even more participation next year!

Pep Band Open House NIght

09.19.26 - The Pep Band hosted its first-ever Open House Night, and it was the start of a fun and successful tradition! Students from 6-11 grade were invited to participate in Pep Band for the evening to see what it's like to be a part of the action. We were joined by several students from Indian Hill and Satz School to play the Star Spangled Banner, stand tunes, and even treated them track-side positions to enjoy our halftime show. Best of all, we sparked interest for others to join the program, have increased our headcount, and shared the joy of Pep Band with new families and students. We look forward to next year's event!

rutgers marching scarlet knights - open rehearsal

Monday, August 31st, is the final day of Marching Band Camp at Rutgers University, and the Marching Scarlet Knights have opened the rehearsal to show off everything they've worked on. Anyone interested in attending is welcomed, and encouraged, to be there. It would be great to sit together as a Holmdel contingency, so if you'll be going, please complete the form below so we can coordinate our group to meet at 6:15pm there, and sit together. This is not a mandatory event, and this is not a school sponsored event - this is just an opportunity to see a collegiate level band's version of camp, and be wowed by their discipline, size and sound.

Pep Band Camp & hfa pep rally - week in review

08.22.26 - Pep Band Camp Week was full of hard work and high energy. The days started indoors with sectional work, full ensemble rehearsals, and some time in the gym to work on moving feet to the beat. In the afternoons, we accomplished putting most of the show on the field and the halftime show is looking and sounding really great. We are very grateful to Mr. Jeffrey Cook of the Dept. of Music & Theatre Arts, and Director of the Pep Band at Monmouth University; he spent three full days with our students to help develop technique and musicality. We also are happy to welcome Mr. Alek Duriske, a graduate student and former Percussion Captain at Monmouth University; his dedicated time and efforts with our drumline made such an impact this week and we know the season will be even stronger than before.

While camp ended on Thursday, 8/20, rehearsals begin next week, with the dress rehearsal on Wednesday, 8/26, from 9 - 12am and the first game on Thursday, 8/27. Please check the calendar for specific times and locations, as our season is fully underway!

Thank you to the students who were able to volunteer at the HFA Pep Rally to kickoff the youth football and cheer season at Roggy Field. The band sounded great and the crowd loved the live music - the youth cheer and football teams were especially excited for the support and we hope to be able to offer them more support throughout their season.
