Hello All,
Welcome to BANDTOBER!!! Over the next four weeks, we will have SEVERAL events for the marching band. The next three Saturdays, the MB&G will be competing against bands in our region. This is the peek of marching season. Please make sure you are taking care of yourself and keeping up with everything. Schedules and itineraries will be available through Texts, emails, CutTime, Facebook, Website, Band room TV Announcements, Word-of-mouth, and everything in between. It is imperative that students are at all events. Students that are not in attendance for rehearsals/ events may be denied the ability to perform. This will be the busiest and quickest part of marching season. Hold on tight!
Blackwater Classic - BC is upon us! This Saturday is the 8th annual Blackwater Classic. We will have 11 HS bands and 1 University band as our guests. This is our home competition. Parents, WE NEED YOUR HELP. Please sign up on the BC event on CutTime. Over the years, the BC has been praised for its organization and hospitality. WE CANNOT DO THIS WITHOUT YOU. As of this update, there are 35 out of 103 available jobs to be filled for Saturday. If you are having trouble signing up on CutTime, but would like to help, please reach out to Arlene Wires at 850-910-5636 [email protected], Amanda Makar at 850-206-8446 [email protected]. I want to thank our committee for working hard on this event. They have really put together an exciting day and I can't wait for your hard work to be shown to the world! Y'all are AMAZING!!!. For those not working, tickets are $7 and children 5 and under are free.
Blackwater Classic Itinerary - The schedule is ready and the itinerary is set for BC. We will have rehearsal at 8am-11am that Saturday. After that, students will need to be seated in our section at 3:45pm to watch and support all performing bands. Symphonic Band will need to meet in the band room at 3:30 in uniform to get ready for the National Anthem. We perform the show at 8pm. The BPA will comp one meal per MHS band student that evening at the concession stand.
FBA Marching MPA - Saturday, October 11th is FBA Marching MPA. It will be held at Ft. Walton Beach HS. Tickets are $15. Please plan to come out and watch our students showoff just for you. All high schools from Escambia, Santa Rosa, and Okaloosa Counties will be on display. We are still waiting on a performance time. The itinerary for this is as follows:
SRC Marching Band Exhibition - The Santa Rosa County Marching Band Exhibition will be held on Monday, October 13th at 6pm at Pace HS. This is a FREE event in which all of the high schools in Santa Rosa County will be performing for each other and the public. Since this is at Pace, students will need to plan their own rides to Pace. We will meet at 5pm. Students will also need to bring their own equipment. We will pack all front ensemble equipment in the band truck.
Little Big Horn Marching Band Competition - The Little Big Horn competition is on October 18th at Opp High School in Alabama. We have a TENTATIVE performance time of Noon. We will have more info about this as we receive it. For students going to the homecoming dance, we will send however many buses back early with those students. Students not attending the dance will stay and represent MHS for the awards ceremony and watch bands. Here is the TENTATIVE schedule:
October BPA Monthly Meeting - We have moved the October BPA meeting to Thursday, October 16th at 7pm. This is because Escapades (Night Time Pep Rally) is scheduled on the Tuesday that we would normally have this meeting. Please adjust schedules accordingly.
That is all for now. I hope you have a wonderful week! and HAPPY BANDTOBER!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the following students according to CutTime:
Raelynn Chandler - Sunday (Today)
