FBA Jazz MPA - This Friday is the FBA Jazz MPA. The Blackwater Beats will be performing at 6:15 at PSC Auditorium. We invite all of you to come out and support us and listen to some great jazz music from all around the region. This performance is FREE. The complete itinerary is below.
Pace Indoor Competition - This Saturday, our two indoor groups will be performing at Pace High School. Tickets are $10 at the door. The Black Gold Percussion Ensemble performs at 2:27 and the Winterguard performs at 6:25. Come on out and watch these wonderful students.
Band/Indoor Fees - We need all band and indoor fees paid in full ASAP. I will be sending statements out through email this week. You can bring in cash or check and put in the moneybox in front of the band office or pay online by CLICKING HERE.
MHSBPA Board Nominations - This Tuesday is a very important BPA meeting. We will begin accepting nominations for the 2024-25 BPA Board. We will take nominations from the floor as well as through email through April. Any current band parent is eligible to be nominated. Positions are President, 1st VP, 2nd VP, Secretary, Assistant Secretary, Treasurer, and Assistant Treasurer. Please see me to nominate.
Lumpia - We will be kicking off the next lumpia fundraiser next week. Parents, we need your help with making this lumpia. We have a lumpia committee for these purposes. Last semester, our wonderful committee hand-rolled over 14,000 rolls. This can't be done without your help. Please attend the BPA meeting on Tuesday or see BPA President Nicole Humber [email protected] for more info.
El Paso Spirit Night - On President's Day, Feb. 19, the Band will be hosting a spirit night at El Paso on Dogwood 4pm-close. 10% of proceeds from all meals will be donated to the band. Please see and print attached flier to bring with you on that night.
Mock MPA/Preview Concert - We will be hosting a this concert on Friday, February 23rd in the auditorium. This is a free concert open to the public. So far, Gulf Breeze HS will perform along with MHS Concert and Symphonic bands. We will have a couple guest directors giving each band feedback as well. Please make plans to join us that night. The performances will begin at 6pm.
Band Trip Meetings Info - I have updated the band trip section of the website with all of the info discussed at the 2 meetings last week. Please CLICK HERE to access the agendas, room lists with cabin and booking numbers, as well as other items.
