Hello All,
Great job last week! We really did our part in creating a great atmosphere for the game and we received a lot of compliments on the performance. We are off to a great start MB&G!
Pensacola Game - This week, we play Pensacola HS at Pensacola. We will make a decision on uniforms later in the week. Currently, the plan is to be in summer uniform, however, there is a chance we will be in full uniform. The full itinerary is below.
Chaperones and Truck Drivers - We have added an additional 5 chaperone spots and 2 truck driver spots for the game this week. If you would like to chaperone or drive the other truck please sign up on CutTime. We already have a driver and a rider for one truck. We are in need of a driver and a rider for the other truck.
BPA Dinner Friday - The BPA will be serving student dinners in room 131 Math West this week 3:45-4:30. We encourage all students to take advantage of this free meal. Please make sure you eat something before we depart.
Bus Sign-ups - All students should have signed up for a bus at this point. Please make sure you have signed up on Monday if you have not.
Show Shirt Designs - It is time to start the show shirt designs for this year. 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:
Lumpia Fundraiser - We will be kicking off the Lumpia fundraiser this week. Students will be able to make $5 per bag of lumpia sold. These are hand-rolled and our own recipe. Lumpia will be delivered before Thanksgiving, probably in October.
FSU Band Day - On September 6th, FSU will be hosting their band day event. This event gives students the opportunity to see the marching chiefs up close in person and attend an FSU game. We have received 110 FREE tickets for this event. We still have plenty of seats. Band students and parents may sign up to attend. The cost is $60/person. This is for the cost the buses. This is a first come first served basis. Money must be turned in directly to the directors upon signing up. No online payments can be made for this. Checks or cash only. Also, since this is outside of the normal band fee, no overage of CutTime payments will be able to be used for this.
Here is the itinerary for that day:
All-State Auditions - FBA All-State auditions will be on Saturday, September 13th here at MHS. Any student wishing to audition MUST register with us by Tuesday of this week. We will also need student help for this. We will post a sign-up in the locker room with various times and positions for that day. Volunteer hours can be earned with this.
Rehearsals Next Week - The week of the Washington game, we will only have one rehearsal since that game is on a Thursday. That Tuesday rehearsal will be 6pm-9pm instead of 8:30. Please adjust calendars accordingly.
That is all for now. We hope you have a wonderful week!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the following student according to CutTime:
