Welcome to what may be the busiest three weeks of the semester! With MPA's, trip meetings, and rehearsals, there is A LOT to get through. I want to first congratulate those students who participated in he FBA Solo & Ensemble MPA at Gulf Breeze HS this past Friday. Our students earned a total of 12 Superior ratings and four excellent ratings:
Students earning Superiors:
Karlyn Waters & Gaven Wallace
Tiffany Broome
Jessica Herring
Joseph Herring
Sam Rowe
Lauren Schofield x's 2
Sydney Mosley
Trishna Patel
Abigaille Flores
Audrey Kennedy x's 2
Students earning Excellents:
Kameron Fewox, Raywood Miller, Alex Merrit, & Levi Weeks
Danielle Henrichsen & Audrie Kennedy
Drew Rieben
Katilin Smith
We are very proud of these students' accomplishments and their participation in this event!
The indoor groups also had power performances this past Saturday at the Pace High School indoor competition. All three groups once again represented Milton very well. There are only two more chances to see these groups in competition this year so if you have yet to see them, the Daphne HS and Tate shows will be your last chances.
For the first time in Milton's history, we will be participating in the Jazz MPA this Friday. This will be held at Washington HS and is totally FREE! I encourage you to come out and see our two groups perform. Stewart Street Soul will perform at 3:15 while Blackwater Beats will perform at 6:15.
Finally, If you didn't read my last email, we are now accepting online payments.
