Outstanding is one of many ways to describe all of the our students for their amazing performances last Friday! Our students prove time and time again how incredible they really are! That concert was a culmination of all of the hard work and perseverance throughout this year. If you missed it, you can still watch it on our YouTube page by CLICKING HERE.
Only just a few more weeks with lots of activities. See below for this week.
Band Day - Tuesday we will welcome all of our potential new students to the auditorium for 8th grade band day. All of our current students will need to come to the band hall at the beginning of 6th period. We will wear THIS YEAR'S BAND SHIRT AND BLUE JEANS/SHORTS. We will rehearse the in the auditorium very briefly before the new folks arrive. Parents, we are in need of volunteers to help serve pizza at around 4:15-4:45ish. If you are available, please CLICK HERE to sign-up. We should be done around 6:30
Band Awards Ceremony - The Charles "Bud" Bell Band Banquet is this Saturday in the MHS Gym at 6pm. All current band members and family are welcome to attend. Because of county mandates, the band, along with all other groups cannot serve food at these ceremonies. We will still award the hard work of our students in person. This will also still be a formal event, so dress up in your Sunday's best. Students are asked to sit on the seats on the floor of the gym and guests are asked to sit in the bleachers on either side. The stage will be set up along the far wall, opposite of the entrance.
Uniforms Returned - All uniforms are to be returned by this Friday, CLEANED. For cleaning instructions CLICK HERE. You will return the Jacket, Sash, Gauntlets, and any other item that was borrowed. We will take these throughout the week. Please make sure you put the following information on a tape/tag on the hanger:
