0 Comments

 
We have a fun-filled competition that we want to kick-off with the band and MHS family this week. This competition is actually sponsored by the United States “President’s Own” Marine Band and is called SOUSA’S MARCH MANIA!   If you are familiar with the NCAA Basketball March Madness, this is the musical version of it.  The Marine Band has 32 marches competing over 4 weeks in an effort to crown One Champion on April 3.  Your participation is two-fold:
 
#1 – Submit a completed Sousa’s March Mania Tournament Bracket to the MHS Band Office by the end of the day on Friday, March 3 to compete head-to-head with other participants in the Milton High School family.  Awards will be presented to the following based on the most overall correct picks:
 
                                1st Place - $50 Texas Roadhouse Gift Card
                                2nd Place - $30 LaHacienda Gift Card
                                3rd Place – Two Movie Tickets for the Ridge Cinema
                                    *Prizes may be adjusted in the event of a tie. 
 
            Points will be rewarded in the following manner.  
                1st Round - 3 pts per correct pick 
                2nd Round - 3 pts per correct pick 
                3rd Round - 2 pts per correct pick 
                4th Round - 2 pts per correct pick 
                Final Round - 10 pts per correct pick


#2 – Go to the US Marine Band website and vote for the marches on the appropriate dates.  Let your voice be heard as we crown the “Champion” March! 
 
This contest is open to all Milton HS Band Students, Band Parents, and MHS Faculty & Staff.  Again, get your March Mania Bracket to the Band Office by 3:30 pm on Friday to enter to win.
