​Hello All,
​
Well I hope e everyone has enjoyed this unexpected yet AMAZING break.  I hope you were able to make memories and spend time just enjoying this historic event. Of course I'm talking about the opening of Jersey Mike's next to the Publix! :-) LOL jkjk! We can't wait to hear all of the stories and see all the pics of you in the snow! We definitely will need to add those to the end of the year videos! Now back to reality.  Please see below for all events and info.


All-County - The directors will be meeting and discussing alternative dates for the All-County Band.  We will communicate these dates and locations with you as soon as we narrow these down.  


Calendar Fundraiser - It has been two months since we kicked off the calendar fundraiser.  Students have a chance to earn $496+ dollars with this.  You simply get folks to sponsor you on a certain day, and that person will pay you the amount of that day; i.e. January 23rd = $23, etc.  All calendars and money is due by February 7th.  CLICK HERE for a hard copy of the calendar. 


Band Fees - Now that the new year and second semester is upon us, it is time to make the final payments for all band and indoor fees.  All accounts have been updated with the BPA incentive volunteer discount.  Payments can be made online or directly to the money box.  If using checks to make separate payments to various fees, please use separate checks per fee.  It is imperative that all fees are paid ASAP.


Indoor Competition - This Saturday is the first Indoor competition of the season.  This will take place at South Walton High School.  We will be providing buses for all groups.  Students must ride the bus over, however, they may check out with the staff using the same checkout procedures as usual.  Please make sure you communicate with Chandler and/or Sam with any questions.  See itineraries below.  Admission for all Indoor competitions is Cash $15.00, Credit Card $18.00, Age 5 & Under Free, Age 65 & Up Free.  We encourage all that can to come out and support our awesome students! 


FBA S&E - FBA S&E is right around the corner.  Ms. Julia will be coming in at various times to practice with those students that have her as your accompanist.  Please make sure that you find time to practice all Solos and Esembles.  Students will need to organize practice sessions either before school, after school, or at homes.  Please make sure you talk to me about any planned after school practices so I can plan as well.  We should have the performance schedule soon.  Students, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ORIGINALS OF ALL MUSIC.  Also, make sure you turn in your piano parts to the box in front of the office.  


That is all for now.  I hope you have a wonderful week!

All-State - A big CONGRATULATIONS to Josiah Hall for a wonderful concert at the 2025 FMEA All-State convention.  The HS Symphonic Band played some very challenging pieces and Josiah represented well.  Great Job!


Individual Band Pics - Kay Brown Photography will be in the band room this Wednesday and Thursday.  ALL band students will have their picture taken whether or not you are ordering pictures.  Please CLICK HERE to see the order form for prices.  Mrs. Kay will handle all money. Checks can be made out to Kay Brown Photography. You can also order online by CLICKING HERE.  


All-County Band Rehearsal - This Thursday is the first of the All-County rehearsals.  This will be held at the MHS Band Room 6pm-8:30.  Attendance is required.  Any student that is not present will forfeit their chair in the band. 


BPA Concession Sales Volunteers - We have a very big volunteer opportunity for all parents and students next week starting on Thursday morning through Monday afternoon for the MLK Emerald Coast inline speed skating competition at Webers Skateworld right here in Milton. . There will be speed skating teams here from all over the US and even some International teams as well. We are the only food vendor for this event and it will be very busy. We are still in need of lots of volunteers so that this will be a successful weekend. If you would like to help us out, there are lots of open shifts,  please sign up on CutTime. Email Arlene Wires for further information [email protected].


Band Fees - Now that the new year and second semester is upon us, it is time to make the final payments for all band and indoor fees.  All accounts have been updated with the BPA incentive volunteer discount.  Payments can be made online or directly to the money box.  If using checks to make separate payments to various fees, please use separate checks per fee.  It is imperative that all fees are paid ASAP.


Calendar Fundraiser - It has been a little over a month since we kicked off the calendar fundraiser.  Students have a chance to earn $496+ dollars with this.  You simply get folks to sponsor you on a certain day, and that person will pay you the amount of that day; i.e. January 23rd = $23, etc.  All calendars and money is due by February 7th.  CLICK HERE for a hard copy of the calendar.

MHS BPA Monthly Meeting - This Tuesday night, we will have the January BPA monthly meeting at 7pm in Math West 131. These meetings are very important as we go over info for the band as well as events that the BPA organize and attend to help support our students.  We hope to see you there.
