Congratulations to the students who performed with the All-County Honor Band on a wonderful concert this past Friday night! It always amazes me how students from all over different areas can come together for the purpose of creating music and do and perform together, doing an amazing job in the process.
Speaking of honor bands, I would like to congratulate the students who made both the Troy SEUS Honor Band as well as the USM All-South Honor Band. These students will need to make your own arrangements for travel and hotel accommodations.

This Saturday kicks off the indoor competition season with the first show at Jay High School. This is a GUARD ONLY performance meaning that the percussion units will not be performing. I believe tickets for each competition are $8 to $10 and are sold at the door at each location. If you would like to see a full schedule of events for the indoor season along with performance times and dates, please click HERE. Our winterguard units will both be in performance this Saturday. I encourage everyone to come out to Jay HS to see the hard work of all of these students! See performance times below. Ms. Byrd will have a detailed itinerary for the students this week.
As we are still early in the 2nd semester, we are noticing more students behind in the fair shares. Please look at your statements on charms or ask us and make sure your fair shares are up to date. Because the band trip was so early this year, we allowed the trip to be payed off first before fair share. Now we need to switch focus and start catching up on fair shares. We will have a few fundraisers to help out with these payments this semester. Don't forget that all fair shares must be payed in full before the end of the school year in May. This will be here before you know it. Also, we are in the very early planning stages for the cruise trip next year. You can start working now to make payments towards that trip but remember, ALL FAIR SHARES MUST BE UP TO DATE.
Please make sure you look at the schedule carefully this week as we are now beginning the after school rehearsals for our concert groups. Also, please continue to bring in you gauntlets this week!
