Hello All,

Great job to all at the Christmas Concert last week!! It was so nice seeing the hard work of our students on display once again.

This Tuesday is the trip meeting.  Anyone going on the band trip to Gatlinburg are highly encouraged to be at this meeting as we will be going over every aspect of the trip including what to bring as well as the day-to-day itinerary.  

Lastly, remember the Christmas parade has been moved to this Saturday.  The itinerary is below.  Students are to wear full uniforms minus helmets.  You are encouraged to decorate your instruments and person as long as you can still play and march.  Also, please try to wear some kind of Santa Hat.  

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

Hello All,

Thank you everyone for your understanding with the cancellation of the Christmas parade as well as the Veteran's Day parade.  We still do not have word on any rescheduling for the Christmas parade, but will get the word out as soon as we know.

This Thursday at 6:30 the Mighty Black & Gold Panther, Concert, and Symphonic bands along with the Blackwater Beats Jazz Band will be in performance.  This is a free concert that will take place in the MHS Auditorium.  Please come out and support our wonderful students and get into the holiday season! 

This Friday is also the band Christmas Party for the students right after school till around 8pm.  All students are invited to come out and enjoy a pasta bar provided by the BPA, a movie/kickball, and the secret Santa gift exchange.  Students, if you choose to participate in the gift exchange, you must provide a gift worth a minimum of $5.  We will start taking these up on Monday.  Gifts need to be brought to me (Schultz) first so I can add you to the list.  

Last but not least, if you are interested in participating in the USM All-South Honor Band this year, please CLICK HERE, read the info, and follow the links provided.  We can help with recordings if needed, but you will need to fill out the application.  

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