Hello All,
Welcome Band from Fall Break. Hope everyone rested up and spent time doing everything you wanted to do. We have a short, but packed few weeks until winter break. Please look through everything below for all of the info.
New Uniforms - As you know by now, we have received the new uniforms! We have sized several winds and percussion for these. All students who have not been sized by the end of school on Monday will need to plan to stay after school to size. This is for ALL winds and percussion. This shouldn't take long. Please have plans for rides as soon as you are done sizing.
New Uniform Debut - We are excited to be debuting the uniforms this Wednesday with a special performance of the halftime show as well as a ceremony. This will take place at the football field. All are invited to attend. All band students will need to meet at the band room at 4pm to get ready. We will march-in at 5:30. Parents, we need help with preparations on that day beginning at 4pm. Please CLICK HERE to sign up.
Milton Parade - The Milton Christmas parade is this Saturday. The band hall will be open 4pm-4:45 for students to grab uniforms and instruments. Students may decorate their instruments as you please as long as they can still play and march. Please DO NOT use duct tape on your instruments. This could permanently damage instruments. We will wear our full uniform minus helmets. Please try to secure some kind of Christmas hat. We will meet at 5pm at the empty lot on James street. This is across from the BMX bike course. Make sure you have a ride to get you at the end of the parade. We will end at Margaret Street Church of Christ.
Texas Roadhouse Fundraiser - We have kicking off the Texas Roadhouse gift card fundraiser. This is an online only fundraiser in which you can purchase gift cards ranging from $5 to $100; as many as you want. Students will receive 20% profit towards band or indoor fees from total sales. Click or share the link below to start ordering. Once you add the cards to your cart, you will then designate what student will get credit for the profit. Simple and easy. Cards will be delivered to the school then distributed around December 13th. Just in time for Christmas :-) December 6th is the last day to order.
