Already the 3rd week of school is here and we are just trucking along with show and everything else. There are just a few things to report on for this week.
Students, show shirt designs are due on my desk this Tuesday. Remember, our theme this year is "Storm Life". Also remember, these designs will go on black t-shirts so please design accordingly.
Parents, if you would like to purchase a parent polo shirt, please fill out the attached form and turn it in to me along with the money. These are due this Thursday.
You will notice a few different rehearsal schedules this week. Winds and percussion will rehearse from 4pm-6:30 every Thursday for the rest of the season. Guard will rehearse 6pm-8:30 every Thursday on their own with the guard staff. This week, percussion has an added rehearsal on Saturday from 12pm-5pm. Percussion will also be involved in the Day of Percussion at Escambia High School next Saturday where you will learn from the masters of percussion and watch and listen to other percussion sections from around the area. More info about this will be discussed in class.
Parents, if you would like to volunteer to chaperone or work in the concession stand this Friday at the game, please click the following link(s):

Finally, I am not trying to create any kind of hysteria or cause concern or "preach gloom and doom" lol but we are monitoring Invest 99 that is entering the Gulf this week and will plan accordingly. The school board has been keeping all teachers up to date with the latest info and planning in the event that it turns into a Tropical Storm and heads our way. We will make decisions on rehearsals as we get more information. I know the irony in this and our show are beyond hilarious LOL! Regardless, there will be yet another hurricane hitting MHS this Friday ;-)
