This Week in the Mighty Black & Gold

Hello All,

welcome back! We're in the stretch for the semester.  We have a lot of activities crammed within these next 3 weeks.  Please read through everything carefully.  

Outside performance prep - All wind and percussion students MUST have a folder with plastic sheet protectors for rehearsals and the concert this week and next.  We will be outside and these will help to keep music frombeing blow around.  

Percussion/Indoor Percussion Meeting - We will have a meeting this Tuesday at 6pm for all percussion students and any other student that is interested in being a part of the indoor percussion units.  This is for students and parents.  All percussion students are required to be in attendance as well as any other student interested.

Christmas Parade - This Saturday is the Milton Christmas Parade.  The itinerary is below.  We will be wearing full uniforms with a Christmas themed hat.  Students are encouraged to decorate their instruments and bodies.  This is pretty much free-reign as long as students are able to play and march.  NO COSTUMES.  Lights, garland, etc. are all okay Please be careful with duct tape on the instruments.  We will meet at the empty lot at James St. and Byrom St. on the West side.  The parade rout goes straight down Stewart Street and  we will end at Margarite Street Church of Christ.  We will have the band truck parked their for students to put the big instruments on at the end of the parade.  Rides will need to be arranged for pick at the end.

Christmas Concert Set-up - This Sunday, we have scheduled the set-up for the Christmas Concert.  We have decided to have the leadership team and anyone else that would like to earn volunteer hours for this.  We are not requiring the whole band to be there, however, we will need all the help we can get.  If you are not on the leadership team, please consider helping us out on Sunday.  We will meet at the football stadium at 3pm.

Christmas Party - Immediately following the set-up we will have the Band Christmas party from 5pm-9pm at Sweet Seasons Farms.  This is celebration for all of our wonderful band students of for a semester full of accomplishments and hard work.  Again, this is for ALL of the band students, not just the marching band.  Students may drive themselves or get dropped off at the Sweet Seasons.  If you need to ride the buses their, those students will need to meet at the stadium at 4:15pm.  This party is FREE.  The BPA will be providing food.  There are a ton of activities at the farm, all of which are outside, so dress accordingly.  Buses should be back at the school by 9:30pm

BPA Food Sign-up - The BPA needs your help to provide food at the Christmas Party.  Please CLICK HERE to sign-up to bring something to feed our students.  

Secret Santa Gift Exchange - As tradition, we will have a secret Santa gift exchange at the party.  Any student that would like to participate in this will need to provide a gift that is a minimum of $5.  We will collect these gifts throughout the week and at the party.  Do not put your name on the gift.  We will place a number on each gift and have students sign the list so we know who is participating.  

Christmas Tree Decorating - Section tree decorating will take place the following Monday at 7pm.  Each section leader is in charge of the logistics for their trees.  We have lined up outside judges to judge the trees on Tuesday.  The winning section will be announced at the concert.  The winning section will win a $10 cash prize per student in that section, however, any student that does not contribute in some kind of way towards the winning tree, will not be eligible for the prize.  I have instructed the section leaders to keep track of who does what.

Christmas Concert - The Christmas concert is Tuesday December 7th at 7pm.  Gates and Food tucks will open at 5:30pm.  The jazz band will also set the mood with some background Christmas tunes at around 6pm so far.  Please come on out to the FREE concert and tell everyone.  We encourage you also to peruse the trees and snow on the field that night.

Concert Band Scale Pass-offs - This is a reminder that all concert band students that did not audition for All-County will be required to pass off on scales during class on Monday and Tuesday the 13th and 14th.  Students were given a sheet explaining what is required at the beginning of November.  This is also on FOCUS.

Hello All,

All-County Auditions - We want to wish all of our students who are auditioning for the All-County Band the best of luck this Tuesday.  Those that are not auditioning, we are still in need of help during the auditions.  Please sign-up on the locker room door.

Veteran's Day Parade - This Thursday is the Veteran's Day Parade.  We will wear full uniform for this parade.  Se itinerary below.  The parade route will start at the anchor parking lot at MHS, go down Stewart Street, Left on Berryhill, through downtown Milton, and stop at Veteran's Memorial.  Please make sure you secure a ride at the end of the parade.  You can leave a car or pick students up at the parking lot behind the courthouse.  

Fair Shares - As we close marching season, it is time to make sure all fair shares have been paid in full! We have $20,000 of fair shares still owed.  You can send payments to the money box in front of the band office or CLICK HERE to pay online.  We will be updating the volunteer incentives soon.  

School-Owned Instrument Fee - Students that perform on school-owned instruments have a $50 rental fee due next Thursday.  This money goes towards the upkeep of those instruments.  We will charge these out this week.  

Indoor Ensembles Rehearsals - As we transition out of marching season, we now move to the concert/indoor season.  This means that instead of one ensemble with rehearsals, we now have several ensembles with varying rehearsals. It is imperative that you look through the schedule and see when your ensemble rehearses.  In general, the Symphonic band is every Tuesday, Concert/Panther is every Thursday.  Guard is every Tuesday & Thursday.  Percussion Ensemble will be added soon.  Students are expected to attend all rehearsals.  Failure to attend can result in the students grade being lowered and may not be allowed to perform.  The guard rehearsal begin this week and the wind ensembles begin next week.

Christmas Concert - The Christmas Concert is just around the corner on December 7th.  This will be at 7pm in the Football Stadium.  All students will need to make plans to help set-up on Sunday Dec. 5th at 5pm.  This is the only day we have to set up.  The Concert/Symphonic/Jazz band will rehearse on Monday beginning at 4pm.  At 7pm, the section tree decorating will commence.  We will have food trucks and a Winter Wonderland the night of the concert.  The food trucks will be ready to go around 5:30pm. You don't want to miss this!

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