Hello All,
To say we are proud of our MB&G is an understatement! Our students really "brought it" on a rainy Saturday night in Elba! So much was against us this week on top of that day, but these obstacles were thrown aside while we pushed forward and surpassed everything! We left Elba earning straight superior ratings, best in class drum major, 1st runner up in class 4A, best overall drum major, and 2nd overall out of 13 bands. As awesome as this is, the reward of the memories made, blood, sweat and tears given, and the time spent with each other is priceless! Great job MB&G. I will be posting the video of the performance soon. Parents, I want to thank all of you for your support of these students throughout this season and that day. You really made things help go smoothly as we made the decisions we had to make in light of the rain and everything else. THANK YOU!
Now we get to sit back and enjoy the infamous week of Homecoming this week. Please pay special attention to the itinerary for this week as we have several events that the marching band will be a part of. There are several different uniforms that we will be wearing as well. See below:
Escapades - Show Shirt/Blue Jeans or Blue Jean Shorts
TR Jackson Parade for leadership - Show Shirts/Blue jeans blue jean shorts or HC Day Costume
Rhodes ES Parade - Show Shirts/Blue jeans blue jean shorts or HC Day Costume
Pep Rally - Full Uniform minus helmets
HC Parade - Full Uniform
HC Game - Full Uniform
Speaking of dress, I encourage everyone to participate in the HC dress up days this week. HC is a fun week but is more fun when you get into it. Here are the dress up days below:
Monday - Dress as your favorite Meme or Vine
Tuesday - Dress in Classy Attire
Wednesday - Dress to represent any age
Thursday - 9th-Blue, 10th-Western, 11th-Hawaiian, 12th-Greek
This Thursday is our final marching band rehearsal. :-( This is also the dress up rehearsal. You may wear any costume you wish as long as you can play and march and it's not too revealing in any way. Immediately after the rehearsal we will hold the year medallion ceremony on the track field. Both of these are required. Please make sure you are in attendance.
Finally, we are still in need of fair shares to be turned in. At this point, there is only one more fair share due aside from the instrument rental fee. We will be posting volunteer hours on charms financial statements soon. We are waiting till marching season is completed to document all of these at once. Please be patient with this.
That is all for now. Here's to a great HC week!
