Whataburger Spirit Night - This Wednesday is the MHS Band Spirit night at Whataburger. The MHSBPA is hosting this. Please plan for a Whataburger night. Dine-in, Drive Through, or curbside. A percentage from all orders between 6pm and 8pm will be given back to the band. There is also a a sign up for students to work the event posted on the locker room door. These students will receive volunteer hours for this.

Tri-M Meeting - We will also be having a Tri-M Meeting on Wednesday beginning at 3:30 in the band room.
Show Shirt Designs - It is time to start the show shirt designs for this year. Submissions are due by Wednesday. Each year, we take student-made submissions for the halftime show shirts. These designs are voted on by all band students, then sent to be professionally touched up and placed on black shirts. Here are some requirements for these designs:
- Show title - Teenage Wasteland
- Year - 2024-25
- Your name on the back page of design
- Everything else is up to you
All-State Auditions - the FBA All-State auditions are Saturday, September 14th at Milton HS. We are in need of student help for various tasks on that day. Students may receive volunteer hours for this. Their are 3 shifts available 8am-11:30pm,11:15pm-2:45pm, & 2:30pm-6pm. A sign-up sheet has been posted on the Instrument room door. Please consider helping out. Also, GOOD LUCK to all of our All-State auditioners :-)
Color Guard Yard Sale - Saturday September 14th, the BPA will be hosting a yard sale for the color guard at the Ollie's parking lot beginning at 8am. If you have any items you'd like to donate, please contact Scottie Armstrong at [email protected]. All Proceeds will go back to the Color Guard to help offset costs for flag bags and other guard specific things.
Band Trip - I have been receiving many questions about a band trip for this year. We are currently in the planning stages for this. This year's trip rotation is to Six Flags Atlanta and Gatlinburg, TN. We are hoping to have more details to present at the September BPA Meeting. Please plane to attend to hear more about it.
