It is finally here!! The First Day of School and the beginning of the 2018-19 school year. With this first day come numerous opportunities. Students, you have a chance at a clean slate for your classrooms. I encourage you to take full advantage of this in a positive way. There is not a single teacher on this campus that is not willing to help you succeed, so don't be afraid to ask for help. Remember, you also have 230 family members to help you not just in the classroom, but around campus and in life. Of course you always have Mr. Weaver and me for whatever you need even if it's just a simple chat, we are here for you!
Students, this is just a reminder that all show shirt designs entries are due by Monday at the end of the school day. Remember, the shirt must have our show title, "The Courage Within" as well as the year, 2018-19. We will vote on the design later in the week. Please make sure you put your name on the back of the drawing.
This Friday is our first game of the season. Please make sure you pay attention to the itinerary below. Call time is 6pm, 5pm for colorguard, all in summer uniform. Parents, There are a couple volunteer opportunities for you at the game. Please click on the following links to sign-up for the concession stand or chaperone.

Parents, the August BPA meeting is this Tuesday at 7pm where we will be going over a ton of information for the beginning of the football season. Immediately after that meeting will be the second and final chaperone meeting. If you plan to chaperone this year and you did not attend the first meeting, please make plans to attend this meeting.
Just so everyone is aware, we will be attending 3 Saturday competitions again this year. These have been on charms for quite a while, but I do want you to make sure you have planned for these required performances. All 3 will be all day events, so make sure that you plane to be in attendance for everything on those days. The dates are as follows:
October 6th - Blackwater Classic at Milton HS. (We will work with any ACT takers)
October 13th - FBA Marching MPA at Ft. Walton Beach HS
October 20th - Emerald Coast Marching Band Competition at Choctaw HS
Students, the All-State auditions will be here before you know it. If you have not already received the required materials for this audition, make sure you look at the announcements on the locker room door or CLICK HERE.
That is all for now. I hope everyone has an amazing first week of school!!
