Hello All,

Welcome to the FBA MPA season for the spring semester! Just like in the fall, over the next three weeks, there will be three different Florida Bandmasters Association music performance assessments.  The first of these is this Friday at Escambia High School where several of our students will be assessed in the Solo & Ensemble MPA.  Again, this is at ESCAMBIA HS not Gulf Breeze HS.  Those students that signed up for this will need to find a ride wo EHS and perform at your allotted time.  We will give you your schedule tomorrow.  Remember, you must have the original of your solo or ensemble work for the judge.  Jazz MPA is next week followed by Concert MPA the following week.

The indoor guard and percussion groups are still going strong and getting better each week.  If you have not seen them, you'll have a great opportunity this Saturday at Pace High School.  Times are listed below and tickets are $10 for the day.  All of these students have been working so hard and definitely deserve an audience! 

In between the indoor performances you'll want to make your way back to the MHS cafeteria for the mattress sale.  Please get the word out about the Mattress Sale this Saturday from 10am-5pm.  Students, remember all you have to get credit for any mattresses sold is give out the flyer with your name on it to the community.  As long as the person that buys a mattress also gives that flyer to the salesman, you'll get your money to your account.  It's that easy! There are plenty of these flyers in the box at the front of the band room if you have run out.  Please like and spread the event on Facebook at the following link: https://www.facebook.com/events/823285534478290/ We will be posting a sign up for students to volunteer for certain shifts to get people's attention for this event including wearing the awesome mattress suit!

We have had two honor band clinics over the past two weeks with some incredible performances.  I applaud all of the students that performed at these clinics at Troy State and Southern Miss.  You really represented MHS well and we are very proud of you.  Please use what you learned at these clinics and spread that knowledge to everyone else.  You can be a good influence on those that could use some extra musical encouragement.

Finally, WE NEED FAIR SHARES!! We have A LOT of accounts that are behind in payments!  At this point, you should only have $75 remaining on your account.  Please login to charmsoffice and make sure you are up to date.
