I hope this email finds you doing well. There are just a few happenings at the band room this week.
Before I talk about this week, I want to congratulate William Schork on an outstanding performance with the All-State Honor Band this past week in Tampa. Will represented Milton well and we are very proud of him.
This biggest event this week is the All-County Honor band rehearsal this Friday at 7pm in the MHS auditorium. This concert is free and you do not want to miss it. The clinician (director) for the all-county band this year is Dan Wooten, the director of bands at Niceville High School. You can read all about Mr. Wooten if you would like by clicking HERE. I highly encourage all students to attend this concert as they will be performing some awesome music.
The percussion and winterguards have been hard at rehearsals the past several weeks. There first competition is next Saturday at Jay high school. I am sure there will be a preview show before that. Please keep an eye on your email and calendar for an announcement of this preview show.
The concert bands will begin their rehearsals next week. Concert band will be every monday, Symphonic band will be every Tuesday, and Panther band will be every Wednesday. Students, please make sure you attend ALL rehearsals as we rely on each and every one of you and these rehearsals are REQUIRED. The Jazz Band will have three after school rehearsals in February leading up to Jazz MPA.
Finally, I would like to start checking in gauntlets this week. Please bring in your gauntlets this week as we will no longer be using them this year. Also, you should have already done so, but please return all marching band instruments. I will check those back out to you once we get closer to the spring concert.
There are no birthdays this week.
