This Week in the Mighty Black & Gold

Hello All,


For our incoming new folks reading this, welcome.  This is the weekly update that we send out on most Sundays to keep you informed of everything going on in the MB&G.  Please read through this and make notes as needed.  We will see you at the Step-off Rehearsal on Tuesday, May 19th at 6pm. BRING INSTRUMENTS and wear comfortable shoes.  


Marching Band and PE Credit - Starting July 1st, any student who participates in marching band for 2 years will earn a PE credit! This has been signed into law as of this week. This means that the required PE credit needed by all students will be earned through PE. This does not count for the HOPE credit, however, students are highly encouraged to take that class online!


Wind and Jazz Auditions - We have distributed all audition material for winds 30th.  CLICK THE FOLLOWING LINK TO ACCESS EVERYTHING YOU NEED FOR THE AUDITIONS:

Step-off Rehearsal - ALL NEW AND RETURNING STUDENTS: Tuesday, May 19th at 6pm-8:30, we will have our first rehearsal of the 2026-27 marching band.  We are excited to welcome all of our new and returning members under one roof for the first time.  Please make sure you bring your instruments.  We will provide all marching instruments (bari saxes, percussion, sousaphones, euphoniums, mellophones, etc.). We will issue lockers and music during this rehearsal.  Wear comfortable clothes as we will be going outside at a point during this rehearsal. Parents are welcome to stick around and listen, however, there will be very limited room in the band room that evening.


Rookie Camp - We will be holding Rookie Camp on June 1st-3rd 8am-Noon this year.  All Leadership and new members are required to attend.  Everyone else is welcome to participate....except our out going seniors.  Yall can watch from a distance.  :-)


Money Owed - As we enter in the final weeks of the semester, all Band/Indoor Fees MUST be paid.  Please get these turned in before the end of the school year


All-State Auditions - For those interested in auditioning for All-State next year, please see the requirements on the website below. These auditions will take place here at MHS on September 12th. Make sure you keep an eye on the website as there will surely be revisions as the summer progresses.
