Hello All,
I hope all of you are doing well and gearing up for a few busy weeks for the MB&G! Can you believe that we are in the second to last week of the first nine weeks? It is crunch time for class grades and assignments to be completed. Students, start now and make sure you are staying caught up on all of your school/band work.
Monday Night Game - Remember that the game last week was moved to this Monday! Kick-off is at 7:30pm. We will keep the original itinerary as stated below. As far as we know, the football and cheer are still having their senior night at this game. We are still in need of help at both the concession stand as well as the chaperone areas. Remember, without your help we CANNOT keep the concession stand open during games. It is because of the sales at the games that we have been able to keep the MB&G going financially through the current situation. Please use the links below to sign-up to help:
Concessions - CLICK HERE
Chaperone - CLICK HERE
Uniform fittings - we will be fitting all new wind and percussion students for their band uniforms. These will take place immediately after the marching band rehearsal on October 13th. This is for marching AND non marching band members. They should only take within an hour for all students to finish or about 5 minutes per student. Students will need to try on the jacket, bibbers, and shoes. Any returning member that is in need of a new uniform part will also need to stay for these fittings. This year, I will be sending out a link to you so you will order the bibbers and shoes directly from the company. You can view these links below if you would like to get familiar with the websites. We will give each student their sizes for the shoes and bibbers so you will know exactly what to order. I have attached the form that students will receive on Tuesday to be filled out once they have tried on the bibbers and shoes. If you know your shoe size, you can go ahead and get these. Make sure you choose MEN'S Size for the shoes.
Orders MUST be placed no later than Sunday, October 18th in order to have the appropriate uniform for the October 23rd performance.
