Hello All,
WELCOME BACK!!! It is hard to believe that school will begin in just one more week! Teacher planning is this week along with a few band events. Please look over everything carefully.
Assistant Director - First of all, THANK YOU to everyone that filled out the questionnaire that I sent out last week. I read through each and every one of the responses. We have had several candidates apply for the position and have interviewed six individuals. I am hoping to have a decision made by Wednesday. I am eager to introduce our new family member of the MB&G, whomever that may be.
Marching Band Rehearsals - We return with marching band rehearsals this week. Our normal rehearsals during the school year are Tuesdays 6pm-8:30 and Thursdays 4pm-7pm. We may vary these rehearsals depending on circumstances that may arise, i.e. Thursday games, weather, necessity, etc. In these events, we will communicate well ahead of time. This week we have an adjusted schedule since school has not started yet (Tuesday 6pm-9pm, Thursday 7pm-9pm.)
Attendance - It is VITAL that all students are at all rehearsals and performances! The band is negatively affected when students are absent. A big portion of the band grade, be it marching, concert, indoor, or more, is attendance. Students will receive a zero in the gradebook for each absence. Depending on the situation, students may make up these absences with an assignment given by the directors. This could be a one hour practice session at the band room outside of normal rehearsal times, an essay, pass-offs, etc. Remember, while performances are required, they are also earned and a privilege. Directors reserve the right to deny performances for any student if deemed that the student is not holding up to the standards and responsibilities of the band; this does include in other classrooms as well. To put it simply, just be present and prepared.
Spirit Night at Bubba's - Mark your calendars and join us for a delicious night of food, fun, and community support at Bubba's 33 Spirit Night benefiting the Milton High School Mighty Black & Gold Band! CLICK HERE and Present the event flyer to your server or To-Go specialist, 10% of your total purchase will be donated directly back to support our Mighty Black & Gold Band! Every burger, pizza, appetizer, and dessert helps provide opportunities for our incredible student musicians.
Open House/Rehearsal - This Thursday, MHS will host and open house 5:30pm-7pm. We have adjusted the rehearsal time to allow students to attend this. We encourage all students to attend the open house and meet your teachers along with figuring out your path to get to classes. We will have rehearsal 7pm-9pm that night. Please make sure you start wrapping everything up in time to be ready to go at 7pm.
BPA Concessions Help - Our first home Football Game is Friday August 14th for the Kickoff classic against PHS. We are still in need of several volunteers to help out in concessions so it can be a success. If you can help out please sign up on CutTime.
Blackwater Classic Help - Blackwater classic volunteer opportunities are now on CutTime for October 3rd. If you would like to help at the classic, please go into CutTime and sign up. There are several shifts for most jobs, so please look through all of them. If you have any questions contact Arlene Wires at (850)910-5636.
HypeRaise - We have been delaying to official start of the HypeRaise fundraiser. We will begin sending out message blasts next Tuesday around 6pm. In the mean time, we still have several student that have not added an adult helper and also have not uploaded at least 15 contacts. Please login to your HypeRaise app and take care of this BEFORE Tuesday! Mr. Santos will be here Tuesday to answer any questions on that day.
Senior Night - Just a heads up to all Seniors; Senior night will be at the game on September 25th. Make sure you start planning now.
East Milton ES Pep Rally - We have been asked to perform Friday August 21st at East Milton ES. We need all leadership for this and invite anyone else that can get a ride over for this. The meeting time at East Milton is 7:30am. This is a great time to show off for our future panthers!
That is all for now. I hope you have a wonderful week! Looking forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday :-)
