Hello All,
WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL!! We are excited to start the school year! I hope you are as well. The first day of school is always a great restart. Remember, you start the year with a clean slate. What will it be by May. Only you can decide. The year will be what you make it. Good luck to all and remember, we are here to help.
Assistant Band Director - We are so happy to welcome Ms. Heather Boyd to the MB&G Family. She is eager to get things rolling with our students! She brings a wealth of passion and knowledge. Please make sure you introduce yourself to her. Ms. Boyd wants to learn about each and every one of you. We are glad to have her aboard! :-)
Marching Band Rehearsals - We will begin normal rehearsals this week. These are Tuesdays 6pm-8:30 and Thursdays 4pm-7pm. We may vary these rehearsals depending on circumstances that may arise, i.e. Thursday games, weather, necessity, etc. In these events, we will communicate well ahead of time.
Attendance - It is VITAL that all students are at all rehearsals and performances! The band is negatively affected when students are absent. A big portion of the band grade, be it marching, concert, indoor, or more, is attendance. Students will receive a zero in the gradebook for each absence. Depending on the situation, students may make up these absences with an assignment given by the directors. This could be a one hour practice session at the band room outside of normal rehearsal times, an essay, pass-offs, etc. Remember, while performances are required, they are also earned and a privilege. Directors reserve the right to deny performances for any student if deemed that the student is not holding up to the standards and responsibilities of the band; this does include in other classrooms as well. To put it simply, just be present and prepared.
MHSBPA Monthly Meeting - Tuesday at 7 pm is our monthly BPA Parent Meeting. It will be held in the Band Hall for now. Lots of information this month about upcoming events.
Wind Concert Instruments - All wind concert and marching instruments must be returned for class on Monday! Makes sure all keys, buttons, valves, and slides are oiled and ready to go.
HypeRaise - If you have not done so already, you need to make sure you have setup your HypeRaise account and add your contacts. We officially started this fundraiser last week and it is already off and running. See attached for details. Also, make sure you post this link on all of your socials:

Lumpia Fundraiser - We will be kicking off our lumpia fundraiser the second week of school. our BPA committee has been meeting weekly to prepare 40,000+ hand-rolled lumpia. This is also our very own recipe. Go ahead and get the word out now.
That is all for now. Happy first week of school to all!!
