Hello All,

The MB&G Family is simply amazing!! You are all incredible people and I could not be more proud of all of you and so thankful for everything that you continue to do! Congratulations to all of our marching band students for earning superior ratings at the Pea River Classic and for earning the Spirit Award! Way to go band!

Here are all of the events so far this week:

Locker Decorating - The Facilities Officers will be judging lockers this Wednesday.  All students are encouraged to join in the fun :-) The winner will be announced after the medallions ceremony on Thursday.

Rhodes Parade - This Thursday, the marching band will be participating in the annual Rhodes ES book character parade at Rhodes ES.  Students will need to come to the band room at 11:45am, then we will walk to Rhodes and set up.  We will be done in time for students to attend 3rd lunch at MHS.  Please wear a band shirt and blue jeans/shorts for this parade.

Marching Rehearsals - We only have 2 remaining marching rehearsals for the football season.  This Thursday 4pm-5pm and next Thursday 4pm-5pm.  Even though these rehearsals are only an hour each, attendance is still required.  Students who do not attend the rehearsals will not be allowed to attend the game that week.  

Year Medallion Ceremony - Immediately after rehearsal this Thursday, we will hold the annual year medallion ceremony for all marching band members.  This is a celebration of completing the competitive  marching band season as well as making through another year of marching season.  Parents are welcome to attend if you would like.  We should be done by around 5:45.

Show Shirts - Halftime show shirt orders are still being accepted until this Friday.  Remember, payment and orders must be received by Friday.  Just CLICK HERE to place your order.  We take cash or checks.  No online payments at this time.  Checks made payable to MHS Band.  

William Carey University Performance - Next Tuesday, the Indoor marching ensemble from William Carey University will give a private performance just for all of our band students in the gym during 5th and 6th periods.  We will talk more about this in classes.  

That is all for now.  I hope all of you have a wonderful week.

Hello All,

Santa Rosa Marching Band Exhibition - We invite everyone out to the 2021 Santa Rosa Marching Band Exhibition at Gulf Breeze HS this Tuesday at 6:30pm.  This is a FREE performance and will include all of the marching bands from all five of SRC high schools.  Please see itinerary below for students.  Names will be drawn from a hat to determine performance order after all bands march-in.  You don't want to miss this extraordinary event!

Pea River Marching Band Classic - This Saturday is our final marching band competition.  This will be held at Elba HS in Elba, Alabama.  Please make sure you look at the itinerary below carefully.  Make sure you eat before we leave.  Students will have an opportunity to dinner at the concessions before we perform.  

Sweet Seasons - The BPA has been very busy selling concessions each weekend this month.  We thank each and every one of you who have volunteered to work these events! We only have 2 more weekends left and lots of opportunities for you to help! Please consider signing up and coming out.  Just click the yellow helping hand symbol under each event and sign-up.

Rehearsal Attendance - Just a reminder that it is important that all students are present for all rehearsals.  We only have one rehearsal per week for the marching band now, and we need everyone there to ensure the show and any changes we make are smooth.  Also, as a reminder, marching band is a co-curricular activity.  This means that grades are determined by both during school and after school activities.  If you miss a rehearsal, the directors reserve the right to determine performance attendance eligibility and make up procedures for these rehearsals.  

Fair Shares - As the marching season begins to wine down to a close, we cannot forget to finish paying off what is left of the fair shares.  It is imperative that you get these payments in ASAP.  We have $8,000 worth of bills that we are sitting on for marching season and no funds to pay them.  The next payment is due by next Thursday.  

Parades - Just giving everyone a heads up about 2 community parades that the full marching band is involved in as part of marching season and are required.  Thursday, November 11th is Veterans Day.  This parade starts at 10:30am with the band meeting at 8:30am.  The next is the Christmas parade on Saturday, December 4th.  This one is a night time parade with the band meeting at 5pm.  

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