All students will need to check their orders and sign that they received the correct number of bags. All Lumpia will be frozen when picked up, so it will need to be delivered soon after pick up or returned to a freezer until it can be delivered

This will include music, dance floor, photo opportunities and lots and lots of food and drink. ALL band students are invited and this is FREE for all BAND Students. If the students would like to bring a friend or date, whom is not in band to the social time, and they are a student, they must purchase a ticket to help with the cost of extra food and drinks for guests.

All students will need to report to the band room at 1:30 to grab your marching and concert instruments then go to the auditorium. We will practice what we can before the new students arrive. Band day will officially kickoff at 3pm. Pizza and drinks will be served around 4:30ish over at the band room. We should be wrapping up the event around 6:30.
Guard Audition Camp - Anyone interested in joining our colorguard will need to make plans to attend the guard audition camp April 30th-May 12nd 6pm-9pm. Again, students, we need your help in getting the word out to anyone interested. This could be current MHS students or an upcoming freshman.
Percussion Audition Camp - The percussion audition camp is also just around the corner on April 30th-May 12nd 6pm-9pm. Any student interested in playing percussion must attend this camp. Understand that camp attendance does not mean you will automatically be put on percussion. This is required for all potential percussion students, both current and new.
