This Week in the Mighty Black & Gold

Hello All,

Can you believe we only have one more football game this season?? We are quickly winding down with marching season and moving all of our groups into the indoor season.  

Thank you so much to our BPA for hosting a fun-filled Halloween party for our students Saturday night! The fire department showed up only once, so you know it was a good party LOL! Just fyi the fog machine that was used in the band room set the fire alarms off on campus and the fire department had to come up and reset everything.  Just to be clear, there was no actual fire or smoke.  

I want to congratulate all of the members of the indoor colorguard for making it through the auditions this past week.  Please take note that the indoor percussion auditions will take place next Tuesday, November 6th.  Anyone interested in joining this group will need to attend the audition.

We will begin the after school rehearsals with the 3 concert bands the week after Thanksgiving.  Please keep up with the calendar to prepare for these.  

If anyone is interested in participating in any of the honor bands that we put information out for, please see us for information.  The William Carey honor band application can be found on the table at the front of the band room.  The Troy University SEUS honor band info can be found by clicking HERE. The USM All-South info has not been posted as of yet, but will soon.  I encourage everyone to tryout for these extra curricular honor bands!

Speaking of honor bands, the Santa Rosa All-County Honor Band auditions will take place next Monday, November 5th right after school at Milton High School.  I will have a schedule with times for everyone this week.  Remember, all Symphonic and Concert band students are required to audition for this band.  

That is all for now.  I hope everyone has an outstanding week!

This Week in the Mighty Black & Gold

Hello All,

WHAT A BAND! That's all I can say.  Outstanding job to all of our students in the Mighty Black & Gold Marching Band this past Saturday at the FBA Marching MPA.  A Superior performance on the field earned our students straight SUPERIOR ratings! We cannot be more proud of all of you in our second week of competition.  Great job band! Also, thank you so much to all of our parents for helping us out this weekend as well.

Now we are in our final week of competition.  I have attached a copy of the complete performance and the itinerary is below.  Please note that we will not be rehearsing Saturday morning, however, we will be meeting at 1:30 to stretch and go over any last minute details for the day.  Please make sure you eat lunch BEFORE we leave and bring money for concessions when we get there.  

The Santa Rosa County Marching Band Exhibition this year has been canceled.  Right now, there are no plans to reschedule this event.  In a nutshell, the directors met after FBA and a few of them expressed how much they needed to spend that night practicing for the various performances this Saturday.  

This weekend the BPA will be selling concessions at the Boggy Bayou Mullet Festival in Niceville.  This is a huge 3 day event and lots of help is needed.  If you would like to help out, please sign-up using the links below:

Saturday CLICK HERE
Sunday CLICK HERE

Mark your calendars for the annual "Bring the Heat" Battle of the Bands at Whataburger in Pace next Monday at 6:30pm.  We need to get as many people there as possible as attendance gives us points.  We still do not know who will be eating the jalapenos, but I do know you will see some very familiar faces.  

Finally, Seniors next Friday is Band/ROTC Senior night.  This is also the Pace vs Milton game.  I will be handing you a form this week to fill out and turn in.  Please stat getting in touch with any family you would like to join you on the field and make sure they can make it.  Yes, they will need to purchase a ticket for the game.  

That is all for now.  I hope you have a great week!

This Week in the Mighty Black & Gold

Hello All,

WOW is all I can say about this weekend! The Mighty Black & Gold family really came together in an overwhelmingly positive way on Saturday at the 3rd annual Blackwater Classic.  I have heard nothing but good things about the students, volunteers, the hospitality, and really the overall experience from everyone in attendance.  We cannot express to you how proud we are thankful to all of our performers and volunteers for your part in making this another successful festival! If you missed the performance, you can watch it on our YouTube page.  I gotta say, this was definitely the best performance of this show so far.

Looking ahead to the 2nd week of competition, we will be performing at Ft. Walton Beach this Saturday for the Florida Bandmasters Association Marching Music Performance Assessment.  This is the most important performance of marching season! I have attached the full schedule for FBA and our itinerary is below.  Tickets are $10-$12 at the gate.  Parents, if you would like to chaperone for this, please CLICK HERE.  

Please make sure you keep an eye on the tropics this week.  There is a storm in the gulf that is looking like it will hit at or near our area.  The district will make the call for classes on those days as needed so keep an eye on the news around this week.  

That is all for now.  I hope all of you have an amazing week!
