Band Parents,
​
On Thursday we will have our New Parent Meeting at 7:15 in the band room.  Any returning parents are welcome to attend as well.  We will be going over a ton of information about the MHS Band.  One of the most important parts of this meeting is the SANTA ROSA COUNTY VOLUNTEER FORM. This form MUST be submitted to me and school-board approved in a timely manor in order for you to be able to volunteer in any way with the band or any other organization at Milton High School.  I will have these forms available at the meeting, however, if you would like to get a head start on this, please CLICK HERE and fill out the information.  You can print it out and give this to me at the meeting.  All parents must fill one of these out each year.  See you at the meeting :-)

Hello All,

Happy last week of school! This will be the last weekly update until the full band returns in July.  I have placed the schedule for each week of June at the bottom of this.  Please make sure you plan accordingly and keep your calendars up to date with this information.  I will give some updates as they occur throughout the next month in regards to various items.

Wind Auditions - Thank you to all that submitted their auditions to Flipgrid on time.  I have been made aware of just a few technical difficulties here and there.  If you had trouble submitting, please come see me (Mr. Schultz) first thing when you arrive at MHS, either in the morning or at Rookie Camp Time.

Jazz Auditions - The Jazz Band auditions are due on Flipgrid this Saturday.  Any wind player/Piano/Guitar/Bass will ONLY need to submit the jazz prepared piece with the background track.  You will NOT need the 12 bar blues improv.  Drum Set will need to submit the jazz prepared pieces as well as the different styles stated on the info sheet and website.  Please CLICK HERE for more information.   

Rookie Camp - Rookie Camp is upon us this week.  ALL NEW STUDENTS AND LEADERSHIP are required to attend this camp.  This is where students will learn how to march and rehearse the various tunes we will play throughout the season.  Any returning member are welcome to attend as well.  Please make sure you wear comfortable clothes and tennis shoes as we will be outside the majority of each day.  Also, bring your instruments and music.  Also, don't forget sunscreen, deodorant, and any other hygienic items this week.  

NEW PARENT/PARENT MEETING - We will have a new parent/parent meeting this Thursday in the band room at 7:15pm.  This meeting is for all new band parents, however, returning band parents are also invited.  We will be going over every piece of information for the MHS band.  If you are a new band parent, please make all efforts to be there.  Have at least one representation per student.  I am looking forward to meeting all of you and putting some faces to names :-) 

Guard/Percussion Camps - The guard and percussion camps will take place during June.  These camps are required, however we will work with pre-scheduled event to a degree during this time.  Please communicate with our guard and percussion staff directly any attendance issues.  Here is their contact info:

Colorguard Director - Sam Byrd
[email protected]
(850)501-2936

Percussion Director - Chandler Sedlacek
[email protected]
(850)686-4263

Audition Results - We will be working hard to listen to and evaluate all auditions this week.  Please be patient as this process does take some time.  As soon as it is ready, we will post the lists on all MHS Band communication routes.  

Band you have all worked so incredibly hard this year! I could not be more proud of each and every one of you! I hope you enjoy your summer once it begins and you use that time to do some well-earned relaxation!
