12.08.24 - The HPBPO hosted an end-of-season celebration for the students who participated in Pep Band this season. The event was held at Bowlero in Hazlet, from 12:30-2:30 on Sunday, December 8. Bowling, Lunch, Dessert, Arcade were all part of the fun! Our participants also received beautiful Certificates from our Pep Band Director, Mr. Buckle, for their outstanding participation and commitment to this year's program - we are so proud of them all! Visit our photo gallery for some pictures of the event.
11.22.24 - Not only has this season been transformative for the Holmdel Pep Band, but for the entire Holmdel District, too! The Pep Band's glow-up has been noticed and complimented at all levels, from BOE meetings and our Administration, to audience members at games, and noticed by the community with a beautiful photo in the APP, and all over social media. The group's upgraded look and fantastic sound have created more performance opportunities and events, and we're proud they have been requested to add their PEP to the upcoming Powderpuff Game hosted at Roggy Field next Tuesday, 11.26, starting at 6pm. Call time for the students is 5pm in the bandroom, in full uniform. Hope to see you there!
11.09.24 - Our Varsity Hornets had an amazing season and the Holmdel Pep Band shared in that success. A good number of students were available to support the football team at this Friday night's game in Linwood, NJ at Mainland Regional High School. Mr. Buckle provided pizza for all the students (Thank you!) and they enjoyed some snacks on the ride and in the stands while playing through their set list and cheering on our Hornets. For photos and a few videos from the game, visit the photo gallery tab. More info on wrapping the season will follow from Mr. Buckle, as well as information on uniform collection, so "stay tuned!"

08.10.24 - Each season, the Holmdel Dance, Cheer and Football teams stand under the stadium lights and show their Holmdel Pride in uniform, as a team. The Holmdel Pep Band is such an integral part of the games and supporting the community and Teams with entertaining music and spirit, and this year, we are excited that Holmdel High School is going to outfit the Pep Band with their own look to complete the picture!
Uniforms have been ordered and more information will follow when they arrive for the students to pick them up.
As previously announced, the students will be required to purchase some of the components of the uniform, which they will keep and can use year-after-year, and have a keepsake when they graduate. All students must complete their orders ASAP, as the order for the Hats, Gloves and Shoes will be placed on Monday, August 26. The HPBPO will help facilitate the order to save on taxes and shipping and keep costs to a minimum, and without any benefit to the program, or to HHS.
