Great job at the Milton Christmas Parade! Our community loved to see the MB&G, and Pensacola will be just as happy! We have lots of Christmas festivities ahead this week; see below for all the details.
Tree Decorating - Next Tuesday the 10th will be the section tree decorating. This will take place after Symphonic Band rehearsal in the auditorium. Colorguard will have their chance to decorate at 4pm during the symphonic rehearsal. Trees will be judged by an outside panel on Thursday at 5:45. The winning section will be announced during the concert. A Grand prize is available for the top winning section.
Christmas Concert - The annual band Christmas concert is on Thursday, Dec. 12th at 6:30 in the Auditorium. This is a FREE concert with performances by the Blackwater Beats Jazz Band, Panther Percussion, Concert Band, and Symphonic Band. We invite everyone to come out and get into the holiday spirit with us. We will also have the section Christmas trees decorated all around the auditorium. Doors will open at 5:30.
Christmas Party - The Band Christmas party will be held on Friday, Dec. 13th from 5pm-9pm at the Band Hall and practice fields. This is celebration for all of our wonderful band students of for a semester full of accomplishments and hard work. Again, this is for ALL of the band students, not just the marching band. This party is FREE. The BPA will be providing food. There are a ton of activities planned, most of which are outside, so dress accordingly.
Secret Santa Gift Exchange - As tradition, we will have a secret Santa gift exchange at the party. Any student that would like to participate in this will need to provide a gift that is a minimum of $5. We will collect these gifts throughout the week and at the party. Do not put your name on the gift. We will place a number on each gift and have students sign the list so we know who is participating.
Pensacola Christmas Parade - We will be participating in the Pensacola Christmas Parade on Saturday, December 14th. This is a required performance. We will be meeting at the Wahoo Stadium parking lot at 4pm. You are welcome to get there earlier if you would like. Simply park, then find the grouping of Milton uniforms. The parade itself starts at 5:30pm. The route begins at Garden Street West of Palafox, then goes north on Palafox, then back south all the way down Palafox to Main Street. Once we get to the end, we will walk back to the Wahoo Stadium and dismiss from there. Students will need to be dropped off and picked up at the Wahoo Stadium. Students, please deck yourselves out again in lights and decorations! :-)
That is all for now. I hope all of you have a wonderful week!
