There were also three wonderful performances by our indoor groups at the Pace indoor competition Saturday. All three groups are making so much progress and I cannot wait to see the next show!
The Mattress sale on Saturday was a great success with 19 mattresses sold. This is much higher than the last time we hosted the mattress sale. I do not currently have the information ready for the student credits but we will have that soon. Thank you to the students and parent that gave up their time to help out with this event.
This week we begin the second week of FBA events with Jazz MPA on Friday at Niceville High School. The itinerary is in the schedule below. In preparation for the performances this week and next week, we will be presenting the jazz band along with the three concert ensembles in an FBA preview concert this Tuesday at 6pm in the MHS auditorium. This is a FREE event. All groups will be performing three tunes a piece which are the same tunes we will perform at the FBA events. This is a great opportunity for everyone to listen to the wonderful music these students have worked so hard to create, especially if you cannot make it to the FBA performances. Call time for all students is 5:30 in concert black uniforms.
