Hello All,
Spring Concert - Everyone is invited and encouraged to come out and show your support for all of our students Friday, May 1st in the Gym and Auditorium. The whole concert will begin at 6pm in the gym with our Winterguards and Indoor Percussion groups. Then we will transfer to the Auditorium to hear the rest of our groups at 7pm. This is a totally FREE event. Please come out and enjoy the year in review from all of our wonderful students.
Band Banquet - The Charles Bud Bell Band Banquet is Saturday, May 9th at the MHS Gym. There will be social time which will include music, dance floor, photo opportunities and lots and lots of food and drink. This is FREE for all BAND Students. If the students would like to bring a friend or date, who is not in band to the social time, and they are a student, they must purchase a ticket to help with the cost of extra food and drinks for guests. If any adult would like to attend the social time, they must purchase a ticket for them as well. Again to cover the cost of extra food. Students tickets are $5 and parent tickets are $10. Please plan to dress formal/semi-formal.
Band Day - On Tuesday May 5th, we will welcome all of our potential new members of the MB&G. Students will need to wear summer uniforms (Band shirt and blue jeans). All students will need to report to the band room at 1:30 to grab your marching and concert instruments then go to the auditorium. We will practice what we can before the new students arrive. Band day will officially kickoff at 3pm. Pizza and drinks will be served around 4:30ish over at the band room. We should be wrapping up the event around 6pmish.
Guard Auditions - The Guard audition clinics will be May 4th, 5th, & 7th 5pm-7pm. Anyone interested in participating in the Colorguard for marching band must attend these auditions. Please help us get the word out to anyone interested that is not already in the band. It is at the directors' discretion as to availability of wind players moving to guard..
Percussion Clinics/Auditions - We will hold percussion clinics on May 8th, May 11th,12th 6:30pm-8:30pm. Auditions will be May 13th and 14th 6:30pm-8:30pm. Anyone interested in joining the percussion section must attend these clinics. Remember, it is at the directors' discretion as to availability of wind players moving to percussion. Current percussionists and incoming freshmen percussionists have priority for spots.

Step-off Rehearsal - ALL NEW AND RETURNING STUDENTS: Tuesday, May 19th at 6pm-8:30, we will have our first rehearsal of the 2026-27 marching band. We are excited to welcome all of our new and returning members under one roof for the first time. Please make sure you bring your instruments. We will provide all marching instruments (bari saxes, percussion, sousaphones, euphoniums, mellophones). We will issue lockers and music during this rehearsal. Wear comfortable clothes as we will be going outside at a point during this rehearsal. Parents are welcome to stick around and listen, however, there will be very limited room in the band room that evening.
That is all for now. We hope you have a wonderful week!
