For all of the new folks to the band receiving this email, this is the weekly update from the MB&G. I send a detailed schedule at the beginning of each week for the most part along with other info so you can be kept as up to date as possible. More about this will be explained at the parent meeting on Thursday.
To everyone. This will be the last weekly update until the full band meets back together in July. We will send occasional reminders about dates as well as the band/chair placement through June. Please keep an eye on the calendar and stay in touch with each other for all info.
Rookie Camp - It is hard to believe, but Rookie Camp is upon us. This is required by all new members. This is an extremely important camp as students will learn how to march and use their equipment. All returning members are welcome to attend as well. Please see the dates and times below.
Graduation - This Tuesday, the class of 2023 will walk across the stage in the MHS football field for the last time. I encourage everyone to come out and support our seniors one more time. the ceremony begins at 7pm.
Wind Auditions - All wind and jazz auditions are due THIS SATURDAY. Please CLICK HERE for more info. We have already started receiving uploads and thank you to those students. Please don't wait until the Saturday to upload your audition. We will answer any questions you have about how to do this during rookie camp. CLICK HERE for the Jazz audition info.
Audition Results - We will be working hard to listen to and evaluate all auditions after this week. Please be patient as this process does take some time. As soon as it is ready, we will post the lists on all MHS Band communication routes.
New Parent/Parent Info Meeting - We will have a new parent info meeting on Thursday, May 25th at 7:30 in the Band Hall. All New parents, please make plans to attend. Any returning parents are welcome to attend as well. We will be going over everything you need to know about the MHS Band and also answer any questions you may have. We also really want to meet all of you and help you in any way we can with this transition to MHS :-)
Guard/Percussion Camps - The guard and percussion camps will take place during June. These camps are required, however we will work with pre-scheduled event to a degree during this time. Please communicate with us any attendance issues. See below for dates.
Band you have all worked so incredibly hard this year! I could not be more proud of each and every one of you! I hope you enjoy your summer once it begins and you use that time to do some well-earned relaxation!
