Panther Band rehearsal is still on for this afternoon.  We will adjust the schedule to end at 5pm.  The rehearsal will be 4pm-5pm.  The school admin informed us that, per school board announcement, all evening activities AFTER 5pm are cancelled today.  Again, Panther Band will rehearse 4pm-5pm today.

THE CONCERT IS STILL ON FOR TOMORROW at 6:30!  If the announcement is made that school is cancelled on Thursday, then we will make adjustments to this concert as feasible.  This includes holding it at the same place, time, and date, or postponing it to next week or the week after.  Mr. Weaver and I are in communication with the admin to determine when the gym will be open if we do indeed have to move the date.  This will be determined at a later date.  As for right now and the foreseeable future, the concert is tomorrow, Thursday, October 29th at 6:30pm.  See Itinerary below:

Hello All

I hope all of you are doing well! Thank you all so much for continuing to push through this fall season! Everything you have done has touched this community in so many positive ways.  Be it performing in the stands, helping at concessions at games or at the farm, or simply being their for each other and supporting every one of our MB&G family! Thank you all.  

CONCERT THIS THURSDAY - We want to invite one and all to the MHS Gym this Thursday for the very first fall concert Spootacular! This is a free concert beginning at 6:30.  We ask that all participants wear masks and socially distance as feasible.  We will have both sides of the gym bleachers pulled out so we can space people out as much as possible.  We will also be live streaming this concert to our YouTube page at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2Xl24I9cUo.  Please support all of our wonderful students who have prepared for this concert just for you! Students, please look through the full itinerary below for times and what to wear.

Rhodes Parade Friday - The Marching Band will be performing a parade for the students at Rhodes ES this Friday at 12:30.  All marching band students will need to meet at the band room at noon.  You may either dress in a costume or wear a band shirt with blue jeans/shorts.  We will walk over to Rhodes and set up.  The parade will go around their track.  After we get done, we will walk back to the band room and put everything up.  All marching band students will need to plan to eat at 3rd lunch either in the cafeteria or in the band room.  

Uniforms - Thank you all so much for your diligence in ordering your uniform parts! I know several of you were waiting on your bibbers to be delivered.  Hopefully these have made it or are in transit to be delivered this week.  WE WILL BE IN FULL UNIFORM FOR THE GAME THIS FRIDAY! Please make sure you communicate with Bandshoppe or Bando Shoes for any delays.  We will not be wearing helmets or gloves this year.  Guard members will need to secure black leggings with your current band shirt for this Friday. Managers will continue to wear the normal band shirt with blue jeans.

Please make sure you look through the calendar very carefully, especially this week and next week as we are entering a very busy couple of weeks.  We will have more communication as this week progresses about various sign-ups and other items.

​Just wanted to get everyone up to date with what uniform options the band will be wearing this Friday.  this is for Winds and Percussion only.  I would like to commend everyone for ordering your bibbers and shoes quickly.  We have questioned each band class throughout the week to gage if students have ordered these and when they ordered them.  Currently, according to the students, we have all but 2 students who have not ordered these items.  Also we have a list of students who have ordered their parts but have not received them as of yesterday (Wednesday).  These names are listed below.  If you are on this list, please email me by midnight tonight and let me know that you have or have not received your items that you ordered.  My email is schultzm@santarosa.k12.fl.us or you can reply to this.  As soon as I hear from these students/parents, we will send word through email, social media, texts, and leadership phone trees as to if we are wearing full uniform.  This will be either tonight or tomorrow morning.  Please stay in contact! Here are the plans:


Plan A - Current Plan
- Current Band Shirt and blue jeans/blue jean shorts with safety gear and string bags

Plan B - Hopeful Plan! 
- Current Band Shirt and full uniform with safety gear and string bags

List of students who have not received uniform items but have ordered them:

Piper Bullock
Ethen Holland
Tyler Metzler
Kellan Tyree

Hello All,

I hope this email finds you doing well!

Game this Friday - This Friday we will host Mosley HS.  Please see the itinerary below.  Students will wear band shirts and jeans until further notice.  We will be confirming throughout the week if students have ordered bibbers and shoes.  We are in need of help at both the concession stand and chaperoning.  Please see the links below to sign up directly.

Concessions Sales - CLICK HERE
Chaperone - CLICK HERE

Senior Night - It is also the Band/ROTC senior night.  Seniors will need to wear their full band uniforms except for helmets. All senior escorts will need to be ready in the north end zone by 6:55.  As soon as the band marches in, seniors will break off and find you.  We will have them in alphabetical order by last name.  Students will know in advance what yard line they will go to.  You will walk straight down the front hash.  As soon as your name is announced, you will meet the staff at the numbers in between the front sideline and the hash.

Volunteer Meat Sticking - This Tuesday the BPA will have a volunteer meat sticking in the cafeteria at 6pm.  This is open to parents and students as well as anyone else who would like to help.  Please click the following link to sign-up for this opportunity.

Parent/Volunteer Meat Sticking - CLICK HERE

Thursday Game - We have made the decision not to perform at the last remaining JV/Freshmen game this Thursday. 

Uniforms - At this point all of our new and returning wind and percussion members should have been fitted for their uniforms. All new and non marching members received a form with directions on how to order the band bibbers and shoes.  Returning members that needed new bibbers and shoes also received the form.  This form has clickable links that will take you to the exact items that you will need to purchase.  You can CLICK HERE to access the form.  All you have to do is select the appropriate size from the drop down boxes on those websites, then go through the checkout process.  Students should have received these sizes on the form at the fittings.  Please place your orders ASAP.  If you have any questions, please email me.  We are hoping to be in full uniform by this Friday, however, this is contingent on everyone ordering their bibbers and shoes.

BPA Sweet Season Farms - Students and parents are welcome to come out and help the BPA at the Sweet Season Farms events for the next several weekends.  Every Saturday and Sunday, the BPA will be selling concessions at Sweet Season Farms.  Students may earn volunteer hours for these events.  Everyone will need to sign up using the yellow helping hand symbol on the events.  Below, you can sign up directly for the event this Saturday and Sunday

Fall Concert Spooktacluar - Next Thursday, October 29th at 6:30pm the MHS Band Program will be in performance at the MHS Gym.  Please come out and support these students.  They have been working hard to prepare a concert just for you.  The Panther Band, Concert Band, Symphonic Band, Blackwater Beats Jazz Band, Colorguard, and Mighty Black & Gold Marching Band will all be in performance.  This is a FREE concert! Attendees are asked to wear masks and socially distance where feasible.  We will also live stream the concert on your YouTube channel HERE.
