Hello All,
Welcome back and Happy Easter! I hope everyone has had a wonderful and relaxing Spring Break. We are now in the home stretch to the end of the school year. Believe it or not, we only have 1.5 months left! We have lots of events taking place every week. Please make sure you stay up to date with everything.
FBA State Solo & Ensemble - We had 5 students participate in the 2024 FBA State Solo & Ensemble MPA. All five of them earned superior ratings. We are very proud of the fact that these students participated in this event! They really went above and beyond musically! Please congratulate the following students:
Logan Campbell & Averi Odom - Clarinet Duet - Superior
Josiah Hall - Clarinet Solo & Tenor Sax Solo - Superior
Coda Turner - Euphonium Solo - Superior
Ciana Antonio - Clarinet Solo - Superior
Indoor Groups - If you have yet to see our indoor groups, you are really missing out. They have also had outstanding performances these past few months at competitions, including this past Saturday. You have one final chance to see them at Tate HS this Saturday for the GCGPC Championships. See performance times below. Tickets are $10 at the door. Come on out let's cheer for our guard and percussion.
Pensacola Jazz Fest - The Blackwater Beats will be performing at Pensacola Jazz Fest this Sunday at 11am in Seville Square in Downtown Pensacola. This is a FREE performance and all are welcome to bring a chair and sit and listen to some wonderful jazz groups. The first school performs at 10am. Jazz students are to report at 10am as well.
Band/Indoor Fees - We need all band and indoor fees paid in full ASAP. You can bring in cash or check and put in the moneybox in front of the band office or pay online by CLICKING HERE.
Spring Concert - Everyone is invited and encouraged to come out and show your support for all of our students Friday, April 26th in the Gym and Auditorium. The whole concert will begin at 6pm in the gym with our Winterguard and Indoor Percussion groups. Then we will transfer to the Auditorium to hear the rest of our groups at 7pm. This is a totally FREE event. Please come out and enjoy the year in review from all of our wonderful students.
Band Banquet - The Charles Bud Bell Band Banquet is Saturday, May 11th 4:30pm-9pm at the MHS Gym. There will be social time starting at 4:30pm-7pm. This will include music, dance floor, photo opportunities and lots and lots of food and drink. ALL band students are invited and this is FREE for all BAND Students. If the students would like to bring a friend or date, whom is not in band to the social time, and they are a student, they must purchase a ticket to help with the cost of extra food and drinks for guests. If any adult would like to attend the social time, they must purchase a ticket for them as well. Again to cover the cost of extra food. Prices will be announced soon. Please plan to dress formal/semi-formal. If you have any questions please reach out to the directors or Mrs. Wires or Mrs. Armstrong.
