This will be the last weekly update until we return in 2025 after the break. I wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday and Happy New Year! Please be safe over this time and have some fun. Please DON'T FORGET TO BRING YOUR INSTRUMENTS AND MUSIC HOME ON FRIDAY!
Christmas Concert - Awesome job to all! This concert was truly fun and really set a good mood for the season! Thank you to all of your hard work.
Christmas Party - THANK YOU to our BPA and students for organizing a wonderful Christmas Party! Fun was had by all and you made it happen. We all appreciate everything you do! Even 2 frigidly cold band directors at the end were smiling LOL!
Pensacola Parade - Great job to all at the Pensacola Christmas Parade! We were part of the biggest Pensacola parade to date with over 50,000 people in attendance. Lots of yells and support for the MB&G! The parade officials will be donating all profits of the parade to the band booster organizations of the bands that participated. Around $250-$500. With the end of the parade this also marks the official end of marching season. Congrats to all.
Band Trip - We will hold a band trip interest meeting this Tuesday at 6pm in Room 130 in Math West so far. This year's trip will be to Six Flags Atlanta and Gatlinburg/Pidgeon Forge May 30th-June 4th. If you are interested in any way to go on this trip, please come out to the meeting. Varsity Winterguard members will need to have a parent at the meeting to recieve the info.
Indoor Groups - If you are a member of the Winterguard or Indoor Percussion, please make sure you stay in contact with the instructors about any attendance issues over the break.
