Carwash Follow-up

7/16/2022

0 Comments

 
​We had a very successful day today at our annual band carwash.  We ended up washing a total of 248 cars which is more than last year.  We also raised a little over $2,500 in donations to the MHS Band! Great job to all! I hope you enjoyed making memories and creating bonds.  CLICK HERE for an official letter that you can use to show your folks that gave pledges.  This letter gives examples of how much they owe for the amount of pledge per car.  If they would like to round up, I have provided that in parentheses. Please collect this week and turn all pledge into the money box in front of the office by this Thursday if at all possible.  Thank you again for your hard work today :-)

Parents who work the morning shift, please do not forget to stop by the band room and pick up everything.  Parents who work the evening shift need to plan to bring everything back to the band room.  We will be bouncing around from location to location to check on everyone.

Band Camp Day 1 Early Release Time

7/11/2022

0 Comments

 
​I wanted to give everyone a heads up about band camp release time today. We will be releasing the band at 7:30pm tonight due to adverse field conditions and consistent rain.  We are not able to get on the practice field to add drill.  We feel that keeping the students until 9pm tonight and not being able to set drill would not be beneficial.  I know that rain will be a factor through band camp and we will adjust and rehearse as best we can.  There is potential as well at points throughout the week that we may hold certain sections after an early release time like today to work a few musical details.  We will communicate accordingly if this occurs.  Thank you for your understanding.  We will see everyone at 1pm tomorrow (Tuesday).

Bibbers and Shoes Ordering for Winds and Percussion

7/11/2022

0 Comments

 
Hello All,

I have received word from DeMoulin that the they need us to order the bibbers from a different link.  They have provided us a customized link specific to Milton to use.  The good news is this should save money on shipment.  The bad news is, for those that have already ordered bibbers, they will not be able to refund any money on the difference of the product or shipping.  Thank you to those that have already ordered these.  You are ahead of the game.  We have also moved the deadline to order these to August 12th.  After that, the link will no longer work.  Please use the following link to order bibbers:
​
https://miltonhighschool.itemorder.com/shop/product/25674608/

For the band shoes, Bando Shoes has fixed their website to where you can once again order directly from them.  This will also save in shipping costs.  Again, for those that already ordered shoes, you will not be able to receive a refund for the difference in price.  The deadline to order these is also August 12th.  Use the following link to order.  Make sure you choose Men's Sizes.  This is the size that was given at the uniform fitting day.

https://www.bandoshoes.com/product/bando-classic-marching-shoe/

If you lost your band uniform fitting info that we sent back in May, please have the student see our uniform officers ASAP to get another one.  CLICK HERE for the complete step-by-step guide from our website.
