Let me begin by saying how wonderful and amazing the 2016 All-County honor band concert was this past Friday night! All of the students put on a grande performance! The middle school was under the direction of Mr. Don Snowden and the high school was under the direction of Mr. Vincent Rosse. The concert proved, yet again, how truly talented and awesome our students are and how important all of the arts are in Santa Rosa County! I can tell you after observing Mr. Rosse rehearse and conduct the high school band, how much of a positive impact he has made on all of the students and directors alike. Thanks to both clinicians for giving up your time and spread your gifts to our students.

Now on to this week. We will have individual photos Monday through Wednesday. EVERYBODY will have their photo made in uniform. Please remember to bring your uniform jacket, sash, gauntlets, and gloves. You will not need your bibbers or shoes. Color guard will wear your uniforms. Please get with Mrs. Bremke to determine the exact uniform for the pics. We will also be collecting the lights off of the uniform sashes during this time. If your sash still has a lights strip attached to it, please leave it in the appropriate section box in the band room after the pics. We will collect the helmet lights at a later date.
I encourage all of you to go to the hypnosis show at 7pm on Friday in the MHS Auditorium. Tickets are only $10. Remember students, if you sell 5 tickets, your ticket is free! Immediately following the show, please join us in the gym for a FREE preview from all three of our indoor groups. They will be heading to their first competition Saturday at Jay High School with times TBD.
