Parents,
WE NEED YOUR HELP! It is crunch time and there are NUMEROUS spots available to help at the crawfish festival. This festival is next Saturday, April 21st. That is LESS THAN 2 WEEKS AWAY. Remember, this event is only as successful as what our parents make it. I also want to remind you that the festival is for our students! Yes, this is a Band Parent Association event, however, the BPA is there to support our kids. I'm not asking you to work all day, but I think our students are worth at least one shift of work and I hope you think so as well. All you have to do is sign-up at the following link: https://www.charmsoffice.com/charms/volunteerR.asp?s=MiltonHSB&v=3525868 Also, we need help with items in hospitality room. We will have a small hospitality for the workers to use for breaks. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to relax for a little bit after a you work your shift, then go enjoy the festival? Just sign-up for an item and bring it on that Saturday or that Friday. Please click the link to sign-up: https://goo.gl/forms/h4SyGcNpfaYMnIUt1 Remember, our motto is Together We Are THE MIGHTY BLACK & GOLD and that means that ALL OF US, students, staff, & parents are in this TOGETHER. Hello All,
I will be sending info and request about the crawfish festival outside of this email later this week, but we do still have plenty of spots to sign up to help as well as to supply our hospitality room. Crawfish Volunteer Help - CLICK HERE Hospitality room items - CLICK HERE We had several groups in performance this weekend. First, I would like to congratulate all three of our indoor groups on a wonderful competition season and power performances at the GCGPC Championship this past Saturday. All three groups finished strong with the Percussion earning 2nd place in their class, the Varsity Winterguard earning 5th place in their class and JV Winterguard earning 3rd place in their's. We are very proud of all of these students and look forward to seeing them perform these shows for the last time at the Spring concert. The Jazz had an outstanding performance today at the 35th annual Pensacola Jazz Fest. We opened today's festivities with a bang and got to hear several other phenomenal groups. The Blackwater Beats will be in performance again this Thursday at 6:30 at the Imogene Theater. Tickets are $5 and can be ordered in advance by clicking HERE. You don't want to miss out on seeing these amazing students perform some awesome music. All money raised from ticket sales will go directly to the MHS Band.

Happy Easter to everyone! This week is a very busy week in the Mighty Black & Gold! First, the indoor groups will be competing in the final competition of the year this Saturday. The Gulf Coast Guard & Percussion Circuit Champions ships will be held at the Mitchell Center on the campus of the University of South Alabama. All of the groups in our circuit will be in performance. Our groups' performance times are below. If you haven't seen these students in competition yet, you need to come out and watch. It is amazing what these students have done this season and I know that these performances will be the absolute best of the year! Next, the Blackwater Beats Jazz Band will be performing in the gazebo in Seville Square in Pensacola for the 2018 Pensacola Jazz Fest this Sunday at 11:00 AM. This is a free concert! Bring a chair and come out and listen to some great jazz music performed by even greater students. Finally, this week, all of the concert bands will be back to their normal rehearsals. Concert band trumpets, Altos, and Horns will need to take note of your sectional days and times this week as well.
