This Week in the Mighty Black & Gold

Hello All,

What a great time we had at the lock-in this weekend! Mr. Weaver and I couldn't help but notice all of the smiles and laughter seen and heard everywhere we went.  Thank you to all of the students for being on your best behavior.  We received so many complements at each location.  You really upheld the image of the Mighty Black & Gold.  Great job! Thank you to the parents that helped out as well.  It was so fun getting to know you and watching you have fun as well.  Great time had by all.

Now it's here! Band camp is upon us.  Over the next two weeks, we will be working hard to get the majority of the show on the field and music/drill in our brains.  This is the most important two weeks of the beginning of marching season.  It is imperative that ALL students are present for each day and session of camp! If students are absent, then we will have holes in the lines and formations on the field and students cannot adjust appropriately which in turn effects the entire band.  Please make all efforts to be present! Students who are absent may be placed on the alternate line or may not have a spot at all.  

Some things to remember for camp: Wear clothes to keep you cool.  Wear appropriate marching shoes.  Chacos are not appropriate marching shoes.  Wear sunscreen...Mitchell Dupre. Bring water.  Put your name on your water thermos or bottle.  Drink plenty of fluids. Eat every meal.  Wear sunscreen...Mitchel Dupre.  Bring money for the band camp café should you choose to use it.  And finally, wear sunscreen...Mitchell Dupre :-)

Finally, the carwash is this Saturday.  We have secured six locations around Milton and Bagdad.  This is mandatory for all students.  I have created the parent volunteer slots on charms. There are 4 slots per shift per location.  The shifts are 8:30am-11:30am and 11:15am-2:15pm.  Please follow the link below to signup for the parent spots.  Students will sign up on papers starting tomorrow.  We will do this by seniority.
