THANK YOU BAND!!! Three words that are simple, but mean so much! Our students did an amazing job this weekend with our mini camp. We got the vast majority of our closer on the field with music. Also outstanding job to our parents and student who worked the Southern Raceway event for the BPA. Thank you to the BPA for supplying snacks for our students during the lunch break. Thank you to all of the parents and students for adjusting to the location change. It was a GREAT weekend for the MB&G! The BPA would also like to say thank you to all the parents and students who volunteered at Southern raceway this past Saturday. It was amazing!
Homecoming Week - HAPPY HOMECOMING. This week there are lots of events and dress-up days to enjoy each day. I encourage everyone to take part and get into the spirit of homecoming. The MB&G will be playing a huge part as always. Here is a rundown of the uniforms for the week:

Blackwater Classic - Blackwater Classic is quickly approaching along with the rest of Bandtober. We are working on putting together a performance schedule of bands for that day. This is October 5th. Please remember that students will need to be at the school all day. We will rehearse that morning, then watch/support all of the visiting bands. We will be performing at the end of the night right before the University of South Alabama Marching Band I will send out an exact schedule as soon as it is available.
