Hello All,
Marching Season - Congratulations on finishing the normal season of football. Here is what is left of marching season:
Playoff Game - We are still in the running to host the first playoff game on November 14th. According to FHSAA, they are waiting until Tuesday after a few make-up playoff games are played to determine schedules and locations. As soon as we know, we will communicate the plan. If we do indeed host, we will be performing our halftime show. If we are away, we will not perform the show, however, will make all efforts to bring the whole band.
Sweet Seasons - THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to all of the parents and students that volunteered to work the BPA concessions at Sweet Seasons Farm over the past month! Because of you, we are able to supply our students with the best equipment possible.
Fall Concert - This Thursday, the Mighty Black & Gold will present our fall concert. This is entitled "Video Games Plus". The concert will start at 6pm in the MHS Auditorium. This is a FREE event! IT will feature the Blackwater Beats Jazz Band, Panther Band, Concert Band, and Symphonic Band. Come on out and support our students! Call time for students is 5:30. Students are asked to dress as their favorite videogame character or wear their summer uniform.
Indoor Percussion - We will have an Indoor Percussion interest meeting this Monday at 7pm in the band hall. All students interested in participating with the Black Gold Percussion Ensemble need to plan on being in attendance. We will hold auditions this Friday and the following Monday. See schedule below.
Winterguard - We will be holding a Winterguard info meeting this Tuesday at 6:30 in the band hall. All guard students must attend this meeting. Any other student interested in Winterguard need to attend as well. Winterguard Camp and auditions will be held this week. See schedule below.
All-State - A huge congratulations to Josiah Hall for making the All-State Band on Eb Clarinet. He will be representing Milton High School and Santa Rosa County in January at the FMEA Convention. Also, Congrats to all students that auditioned for All-State this year!
Playground Music Instrument Step-up - We will be hosting an instrument step-up night at the MHS Band Hall on Monday, November 10th 5pm-7pm. Wind players, are you interested in purchase/rental options on an instrument that is a step up from what you are currently playing? This is the night for you! Playground music reps will be here to help you decide on options for a new intermediate to professional level instrument. Please click the link below to sign up for a timeslot to try out instruments for that day:

Veteran's Day Parade - Next Tuesday we will be celebrating all of our past, present, and future veterans with a parade. We will meet at 8am at the band hall. We will hand out plumes at the band hall and collect at my (Mr. Schultz's) truck at the end of the parade. The parade route begins at the anchor at MHS, goes south on Stewart Street, left down Berryhill Road, right on Willing Street in downtown Milton, and ends at Veteran's Memorial. Students will need to have a ride from Veteran's Memorial at the end of the parade. Remember to bring instruments and uniforms back on Monday. Everyone is welcome to attend the ceremony after the parade put on by the VA.
All-County Auditions - Thursday November 13th, the high school all-county auditions will take place at Milton High School. Students, WE NEED YOUR HELP with proctoring rooms that evening. Sign-ups have been posted on the locker room door. Students can receive volunteer hours for this. Please Please Please help us out. These auditions run smoothly only because of the students that help. Again, students can receive volunteer hours for these.
Concert and Indoor - As we move to full-on concert/Indoor season, we will be taking our big marching ensemble and splitting that into multiple smaller ensembles. Each of these ensembles will have their own afterschool rehearsals. Students are required to attend all rehearsals and performances associated with their ensemble. Make sure you look through the calendar carefully to see when these rehearsals and performances will take place.
Student Christmas Party - Christmas season is just around the corner and we have been about the business of planning our student Christmas party. If you signed up to be a part of this committee or are interested in being on the committee, we invite you to join us on Monday November 3rd at 5pm for our first Christmas party planning meeting in room 131. We will work together to transform the band room into a magical experience for our students. See you there!
Section Christmas Tree Contest - Just a reminder that we will have the section Christmas Tree decorating contest at the concert again. The winning section will win a prize from the BPA and a name added to the trophy. Decorating will be on Tuesday, Dec. 9th at 6pm.
Christmas Parades - Dec. 6 Milton Christmas Parade, and Dec. 13 Pensacola Christmas Parade. Please be aware that students will need to secure rides to all of these parades as we will not be providing buses. More info on each parade will be given as those dates approach.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the following students according to CutTime:
