Hello,

CLICK HERE for the wind portion of the MHS Band auditions.  We notated students with whom we did not received an audition.  Those students will need to email us with your audition ASAP.  If you have any questions about your audition or would like to see your individual results, we will be happy to discuss these in July when we all meet back together.  Percussion will be placed in one class.  Those students will audition during the fall semester for Symphonic or Concert Band placement.  Colorguard students are also placed in their own class.  I hope everyone has a good break.

Hello All,

For all of the new folks to the band receiving this email, this is the weekly update from the MB&G.  I send a detailed schedule at the beginning of each week  for the most part along with other info so you can be kept as up to date as possible.  More about this will be explained at the parent meeting on Thursday.

Audition Results - We will be working hard to listen to and evaluate all auditions after 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.  

New Parent/Parent Info Meeting - We will have a new parent info meeting on Thursday, May 25th at 7:30 in the Band Hall.  All New parents, please make plans to attend.  Any returning parents are welcome to attend as well.  We will be going over everything you need to know about the MHS Band and also answer any questions you may have.  We also really want to meet all of you and help you in any way we can with this transition to MHS :-)

Hello,

If you are receiving this, then you successfully filled out the Milton High School Band prospective member form at our band day event earlier this week.  We want to welcome you to our wonderful family we call the Mighty Black & Gold! I have attached the packet of info that we gave all students at the end of that day.  Please look over it and let me know if you have any questions.  We will also have a parent meeting on May 25th at 7:30 in the band room where will go over everything you will need to know with our group. In the mean time, we do have our first rehearsal this coming Monday in the band room at 6pm-8:30.  This is for all new and returning band students (Winds, guard, percussion, managers). Students will need to bring their instruments and sticks.  We will supply and issue marching instruments (Tubas, Euphoniums, Mellophones, Percussion, Bari Saxes) We will also issue lockers, music, and fun :-) This rehearsal is meant to give everyone a hands-on experience with the MB&G and get us all together before band camp in July.  Percussion students need to make plans to attend the percussion audition camp Wed-Fri 7pm-9pm next week as well.  All new students must also attend Rookie Camp on May 22nd, 24th, 25th 4pm-7pm and 26th 4pm-8pm.  

I am aware of middle school spring concerts and trips and will work with those students on the dates of the conflicts.

I hope all of you have a wonderful weekend and we will see you on Monday!

Leadership Interviews - All students that signed up for interview on Monday, please make sure you double check the time on the list in front of the office.  

Band Captain and Guard Captain videos - If you have not viewed the Band Captain speeches video as well as the Guard Captain solo performance video, please do so BEFORE Wednesday.  CLICK HERE for band captain.  CLICK HERE for guard captain.

Band Day - On Tuesday, we will welcome all of our potential new members of the MB&G.  Students will need to wear summer uniforms (Band shirt and blue jeans).  All students will need to report to the band room at 1:30 to grab your marching and concert instruments then go to the auditorium.  We will practice what we can before the new students arrive.  Band day will officially kickoff at 3pm.  Pizza and drinks will be served around 4:30ish over at the band room.  We should be wrapping up the event around 6:30. Parents, if you are available to help serve the food and drinks that day, please sign up by CLICKING HERE.

Uniforms and  Instruments - All uniforms and school-owned instruments must be returned by Wednesday of this week.  Please make sure everything is cleaned and in working order before returned.  Any damaged item will be billed to the student assigned to the uniform and/or instrument.  

Band Banquet - This Saturday, we will celebrate all of our students and parent volunteers at the Charles "Bud" Bell Band Banquet in the Gym.  Festivities will begin at 5pm with social time for students as well as guests who have tickets. Food will also be available during this time.  7pm-9pm will be the awards portion and is open to everyone with or without tickets. We invite everyone out to celebrate another year of accomplishments with the MB&G.

Percussion Camp - All students interested in playing percussion during 2023-24 must attend the percussion audition camp next Wednesday through Friday.  Students will be placed on the appropriate marching band instruments and will also prepare students for the year ahead.
