HAPPY EASTER

I want to invite everyone out to the Blackwater Beats Jazz Band concert this Thursday at the Imogene Theater at 6:30pm.  Tickets are $5 at the door and will be well worth it! We have lots of fun music in store for all and concessions will be available as well! 

We are still in desperate need of fair shares to be paid.  Thank you so much to all of you who are up to date and have done your part.  As of today, we are still $30,000 in unpaid fair shares.  All fair shares should be paid in full by the spring concert next week!

Speaking of the spring concert, the entire Mighty Black & Gold band family will be on display next Friday, May 3rd at 6:30pm in the MHS Auditorium and Gym.  This is a FREE concert that will showcase ALL of our ensembles including the indoor groups and marching band.  You do not want to miss this concert! Invite everyone you know to come enjoy a night of awesome music and talent from our wonderful students.  

I have attached our colorguard interest flier for everyone.  If you or someone you know is interested in joining the colorguard this year, please come out to the interest camps on May 7th, 8th, and 9th.  Please hand this flier out to everyone.  

If you are interested in audition for drum major for the marching band, please make sure you come to the drum major camp on Monday May 6th from 4pm-6pm.  We will give our prepared piece that evening for you to work up along with your chosen piece.

Hello All,

THANK YOU to everyone that volunteered their time to work at the Beats and Eats Music Festival Saturday!! It was a great day full of fun for all.  Keith White, the BPA treasurer, is working on the final recap of sales and expenses for the day and will report on that as soon as we get it.  I want to personally thank all of those who served on the committee that put this event together.  Many many many hour were put into planning for the festival leading up to that day and everything you did is very much appreciated!!

We are still in desperate need for everyone to pay your fair shares in full!!! Everything in charms is up to date as of today unless it was placed in the money box on Friday.  Guys, we are $40,000 in the whole because of unpaid fair shares and are in danger of having to cancel certain future events and possible performances if this is not brought back in the good.  I want to give a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who is up to date on your fair shares!! You have done your part financially.  WE NEED ALL FAIR SHARES UP TO DATE BEFORE THE END OF SCHOOL!! This will NOT leave you.  Please look at your statements on charms office to see where you stand financially.  

This week, will begin the first event in preparation for next year with the first percussion interest camp on Thursday.  There will be four of these spread of the course of the month.  If you are interested in marching percussion next season, please attend these camps.  We are still in the process of scheduling the guard interest camps.

Finally, the next event for the Mighty Black & Gold is the Blackwater Beats Jazz Band performance at the Imogene Theater on Thursday, April 25th at 6:30.  Tickets for this are $5 and well worth the price of admission.  We will have a huge variety of tunes prepared for your entertainment and you don't want to miss this!! 

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