Hello All,

The 2018-19 school year has come to an end and now we push ahead into the 2019-20 season.  With that, we are in full swing of the new marching band season with Rookie Camp this week from 8am-3pm and Percussion Camp 5pm-9pm Monday - Thursday.  Remember, the Rookie Camp is required for all NEW MARCHING BAND MEMBERS.  Any returning marching band member is welcome and encouraged to attend if you would like, however, you must attend the full day for whichever day you attend.  Please take note of the other events taking place during this week.  All of these are required! Here is the daily schedule for Rookie Camp:

8am-Noon - Outside Marching
Noon-1pm - Lunch (Free lunch is offered in the MHS Cafeteria if you choose to use that)
1pm-3pm - Inside Music/fundamentals

To all parents of a student in the Mighty Black & Gold Marching Band: We invite all of you to come out to parent meeting on Monday night at 6:30pm in the band room.  We will be going over all sorts of information about the program for the year as well as the band trip.  IF YOU MISS THIS MEETING, YOU WILL MISS OUT ON VITAL INFORMATION & ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE OVER THE YEAR.  Please make all efforts to be there.  We want to pack the band room with our parents and meet all of you.

Earlier today, I sent out and email with information about the band trip.  Hopefully you looked over it, but just in case, CLICK HERE to read over that email and look through the links.

I have attached a copy of the Remind texting group info that we use to get info to you quickly.  This is a FREE service that uses text messaging so all you have to do is use whatever you use to send and receive texts.  You can also download the remind app onto your mobile device and use that if you wish.  If you are in colorguard, percussion, or a band parent, please CLICK HERE to get the info for those remind groups.  

That is all for now.  Again, make sure you keep up to date with the calendar found HERE and I will see you on Monday and/or at the parent meeting.
