Hello All,
CLICK HERE for the chair and band placement list for the 2020-2021 School year. We do still have just a few students that are in need of auditioning. As soon as we listen to them, those students will be situated. You will probably notice that the number of members in each class are almost equal. We had to make sure that the class size was below 50 for each class as per guidelines from the county and still maintain appropriate instrumentation for a successful band experience. All Percussion are in the 2nd period percussion class and all Guard are in the 1st period guard class. Congratulations to all!
We had a very successful Rookie camp and first week of Guard/Percussion camp this past week! I want to extend another welcome to our newest members of the Mighty Black & Gold Family! We are very proud of you as well as our returning members for your hard work and helping to maintain our current safety precautions.
This week we will welcome all of our marching band winds/percussion/guard members. Winds will check in at 1:30 at the band room and rehearse 2pm-4pm. Percussion will be 5pm-7pm. New guard members will be 4:30pm-6:30pm. Returning guard members will be 5pm-7pm. We will go Monday through Thursday of this week.
Parents, we will be restarting the Band Parent Association meetings this Tuesday at 7pm in the MHS Auditorium. Mr. Weaver sent an email out last week explaining what all will take place at this meeting. Please make plans to come out and join. We will distance each family group during the meeting. We will be voting on a new board at this meeting.
Finally, we have been in touch with band directors around all three counties as well as our county administrators about summer activities and football season. We have decided that it would be best to cancel the 2nd week of band camp and resume the pep/marching band rehearsals in August. Currently, we are planning to begin these rehearsals Tuesday, August 4th. Please see PEP BAND Schedule on the parent meeting packet by CLICKING HERE. If we are able to resume FULL marching band, we will put this information out. For now, please plan to utilize the Pep Band schedule. We have not heard anything about football games, one way or another, at this point. We will put the Pep Band lists together during the break at least a week before the first rehearsal and send this out.
Thank you all so much for hanging in there and your understanding through these times! Remember, we are strong together and Together We Are THE MIGHTY BLACK & GOLD!!!
That is all for now. I hope you a fantastic week!
