This will be the last weekly update email until the end of Fall Break. Please make sure you look at the calendar and schedule below for the most up-to-date events.
All-County - Thank you to all of the students that worked the auditions this past Thursday. We had lots of compliments from the judges about the whole process. Great job to all that auditioned and put yourself out there to improve your musicianship. We are trying to have the results ready by Monday. Students will know before Fall Break.
Lumpia - Lumpia will be distributed in the band room on Monday 3:30-5:30. Students or their parents will need to make plans to pick up your orders to hand to your customers. YOUR CUSTOMORS DO NOT PICK THEM UP! Students or their parents are responsible for this. We have all of the original order forms we will give you as well so you know who to deliver. I would like to give a big THANK YOU and shout out to our lumpia committee in the BPA for making this happen. We had a "glitch" from our original provider for the lumpia, but our BPA parents rallied and found a much more reliable provider to finish the orders. Thank you for making this happen!
Symphonic and Concert Bands - These groups will begin their after school rehearsals this week on Tuesday and Thursday. Percussion students will be informed which band they have made in class on Monday.
IP Auditions - The IP auditions will take place again this week. Remember, this is open to any current student in the band. Please make plans to attend all auditions and rehearsals if you would like to be considered to join.
Tri-M Meeting - We will have the next Tri-M Meeting this Wednesday. At this meeting, we will hold elections for officers. You must attend in person in order to vote.
Parent Engagement Night - This Thursday, MHS will have their second parent engagement night. The Blackwater Beats Jazz Band will kick everything off at 5:30 with a short 30 minute concert. Guest speaker Dan Shugart, sports commentator for over 30 years with WEAR, will be talking with everyone after that. Then, MHS will be serving everyone a Thanksgiving style dinner in the cafeteria with door prizes. All of this is FREE! parents are encouraged to attend. Email Mr. Weaver at [email protected] for more details.
MHS Band Christmas Concert - Mark your calendars now for the MHS Band Christmas Concert on Thursday, December 8th at 6:30pm in the Auditorium! We are planning to once again have a winter wonderland full of lights and "snow". Come on out to this FREE concert and get into the spirit!
Milton Christmas Parade - Just a note to make sure you are reminded that the Milton Christmas parade will take place on Saturday December 3rd. More details on the calendar
Pensacola Christmas Parade - We are thinking about participating in the Pensacola Christmas Parade on Saturday, December 10th this year. We will talk it over with the students this week and decide. This parade has very high attendance and is televised. More details to come.
Fall Break - As Fall Break and the Thanksgiving is upon us, I would simply like to thank each and every one of you for all you do for the school, community, and each other. You are simply wonderful people! I hope all of you have a fantastic break and be safe.
That is all for now. I hope you have a wonderful week!
