The Marching Hawks perform Dare to Dream at the Woodgrove Classic, October 17, 2026.
Congratulations to the Marching Hawks on their third place finish in their class and their best color guard caption at the Woodgrove Classic this past weekend!
This week, we have the Hayfield homecoming parade and football game on Friday, October 23. The band will perform Dare to Dream before the football game on Friday because homecoming festivities will occur at halftime. The Marching Hawks will perform at the 2026 VBODA State Marching Band Assessment on Saturday, October 24. The band will finish the weekend by performing in the Hayfield Farms Halloween parade on Sunday, October 25—a fun and candy-filled way to give back to the community that consistently supports our band!
As always, the Hayfield Band Boosters are organizing volunteers to support the Marching Hawks at these events. Please sign up to volunteer using SignUpGenius.
