Band Camp - Great job to all for the first week of camp. Only 3.5 days left and a performance! Keep up the great work! We are hoping to have Part 2 at any moment this week. This Thursday, we will go 8am-Noon. Please make sure you schedule accordingly.
Band Camp Dinner - Band camp week 2 is here. If you would like to add money to your students Band camp café account for dinner, Ms. Wires will be in the Band room on Monday starting at noon to take payments. Cash , checks made out to MHSBPA, or credit/debit will be accepted. All money that is left over at the end of the week will be transferred over into the students individual Band account with Mr. Schultz. Ms Wires will send out invoices at the end of the week with your students balance. Any questions please reach out to her at 850-910-5636.
Wednesday Dinner - We are asking that all students stay at the school for dinner on Wednesday. Whataburger, Firehouse Subs, and more are sponsoring our dinner that evening with FREE meals. Again FREE! We will eat, then make our way to the football stadium for rehearsal.
Car Wash - Thank you to all of our morning shifters for getting up and getting after it at the car wash Saturday. Weather is unpredictable and we did the best we could with the time we had. We are planning to schedule another car wash on Saturday, August 3rd 11:15-2:15. This will be required for all students that signed up for the afternoon shifts on the original date. I will be confirming locations tomorrow to see if we can do this. We'll send out more info on this once we have locations. We will need chaperones for this as well. Please wait to collect pledges until we confirm.
Preview Show - The 2024 MB&G Preview is this Thursday at the football stadium! Call time for students is 6pm. The show will kickoff at 7pm with the march-in. Students must wear summer uniform for this:
- Winds, Perc. - Claw Shirt, Blue Jean Shorts, Bando Shoes

- The Bando shoes website is currently having technical difficulties. I will be contacting them tomorrow to see when it will be resolved
Band Hall Floor Prep - We need help preparing the band hall for our new flooring install after the pep rally. Please consider sticking around after the pep rally noon-2pm to help. It shouldn't take too long if we have a lot of helpers.
Small Group Parent Meetings - Small group parent meetings will be held this week. If you have signed up for one of the meetings or would like to attend to ask questions please join us. They will be in the classroom 131. There are several meetings available.

BPA Cash Register Training - We will have a cash register training on Wednesday starting at 7:00 pm in classroom 131 for about an hour for those interested in helping out with registers this year. You must attend a class before you will be able to work a register at an event.
