First of all, HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO ALL OF OUR WONDERFUL AND AMAZING BAND MOTHERS!!!!!
We have quite a busy week this week looking at our calendar. We have two big events as we welcome our potential new family members on Wednesday at Band and we celebrate our students' accomplishments on Saturday at the Bud Bell Band Banquet.
The band day itinerary is below. Students, please make sure you arrive as close to 8:45 as possible in concert black uniforms! We will go over the routine of everything before the 8th graders get here. Parents and Students, be reminded that I will be resetting all charms passwords Tuesday night and once again Wednesday Night in order to have all current members update their charms accounts. Click HERE to get advanced directions on how to log back into charms.
All uniforms and school-owned instruments MUST be returned on Thursday!! Uniform parts to be returned are jackets, sashes, gauntlets and any borrowed item. Please wash all washable items before you return. Pants and jackets are machine washable with cold water on gentle cycle. Turn the jacket inside out before washing.
The Bud Bell Band Banquet is this Saturday 6pm to 11:30pm at the MHS Gym. Tickets are on sale now for $12. Students, if you have payed you fair shares in full, your ticket is free. All others, plus guests, will need to buy a ticket. Tickets will be on sale until Tuesday. Please dress nicely for this banquet as it is a celebration of all of the accomplishments of this year.
