What a great first week of camp we had!! I am so proud of everyone's hard work as we now have half of our show on the field! Thank you to all of our parent who have volunteered to keep our students going each day.
First and foremost, outstanding job at the annual carwash yesterday!! If you haven't heard already, we washed a total of 301 cars and took in $2,300 worth of donations. This set an all time high record for both! This could not have happened without your help and hard work. Thank you to all!! We will have a sheet ready for you with the breakdown for each site that you can show your folks that gave pledges.
The second week is upon us and with this next week comes some fun things including a section show-off day on Wednesday and the first performance of the 2017 Mighty Black & Gold on Thursday. The schedule for the week will remain the same except for Thursday. Right now, we are scheduled to go 8am to Noon on Thursday, however, we will most likely end rehearsal at 11am or 11:30 depending on how confident in the performance we will be. We will let you know by Wednesday when we will dismiss for Thursday's practice.
The performance will begin at 7pm on Thursday night at the band practice field. We will start marching in around 6:50. All wind and percussion students will wear their polo shirts which will be passed out on Monday and black, dress shorts. Cargo shorts are okay as long as they are solid black. Gym shorts are not acceptable for the uniform. Also, students must have mostly white shoes. Color guard will wear solid white tank tops and black shorts. This will be our summer performance uniform until we wear full uniforms.
Along with the performance, the BPA will serve hamburgers and hotdogs afterwards. We will be giving out a list of items for each section of the band to bring for the dinner, i.e. chips, salads, condiments, etc. These items can be brought in throughout the week.
Finally, freshmen day is this Friday. All MHS freshmen will be given their schedules and shown around campus by the SGA. Please call the guidance office for more info about this. All upperclassmen will need to be present at 10am in a show shirt and blue jean shorts to get ready for the pep rally for the freshmen.
