Hello All,
Welcome to BANDTOBER!!! Over the next four weeks, we will have SEVERAL events for the marching band. The next three Saturdays, the MB&G will be competing against bands in our region. This is the peek of marching season. Please make sure you are taking care of yourself and keeping up with everything. Schedules and itineraries will be available through Rooms, Texts, emails, CutTime, Facebook, Website, Band room TV Announcements, Word-of-mouth, and everything in between. It is imperative that students are at all events. Students that are not in attendance for rehearsals/ events may be denied the ability to perform. This will be the busiest and quickest part of marching season. Hold on tight!
Help Needed for Game - This Friday is Band Senior Night. We have several parents that will be involved with this. WE NEED MORE PARENT HELP at the concessions area as well as feeding students between school and call time. Please Signup on the CutTime event on the calendar.
Senior Night - As stated above, this Friday we will recognize all of our band seniors. All senior escorts need to be ready to go by the band section at 6:45pm. You will need to purchase a ticket for the game.
Percussion Masterclass - This Monday, Dr. John Wooton from The University of Southern Mississippi will be here 4pm-6pm giving a masterclass to all of our percussion students. This is required by all percussion. Make sure you bring your snare sticks! Dr. Wooton will also have merch available for purchase. (Sticks, Books, and more!)
Percussion Students - Thank you for your extra work this weekend and rehearsing! Every little bit will go a long way!
Guard Students/Parents - Thank you all as well for being here Saturday and rehearsing/cleaning uniforms!
Biloxi Competition - We have received our performance times for the Biloxi competition on September 26th. We will be performing twice that day. 2:20pm and 7:45pm. We will be providing a pizza lunch once we arrive. Students are currently asked to bring money to eat at concessions for dinner. Here is the tentative itinerary:
Blackwater Classic - Saturday, October 3rd is the Blackwater Classic. We will have 8 HS bands and 1 University band as our guests. This is our home competition. Parents, WE NEED YOUR HELP. Please sign up on the BC event on CutTime. Over the years, the BC has been praised for its organization and hospitality. WE CANNOT DO THIS WITHOUT YOU. If you are having trouble signing up on CutTime, but would like to help, please reach out to Arlene Wires at 850-910-5636 [email protected], Amanda Makar at 850-206-8446 [email protected]. I want to thank our committee for working hard on this event. They have really put together an exciting day and I can't wait for your hard work to be shown to the world! Y'all are AMAZING!!!. For those not working, tickets are $7 and children 5 and under are free.
Blackwater Classic Itinerary - The schedule is ready and the itinerary is set for BC. We will have rehearsal at 8am-11am that Saturday. After that, students will need to be seated in our section at 3:45pm to watch and support all performing bands. Symphonic Band will need to meet in the band room at 3:30 in uniform to get ready for the National Anthem. We perform the show at 6:15pm. The BPA will comp one meal per MHS band student that evening at the concession stand.
FBA Marching MPA - This will take place on Saturday, October 10th at Choctaw HS and will be the final competition performance of the season. We are hoping to have our performance time this week so we can put together a full itinerary. We are anticipating performing within the 3pm-4pm timeblock. We will return to MHS after we perform and unload then dismiss.
Homecoming Week Schedule - Please make sure you are planning ahead for the HC week/final week of Bandtober:
Band Trip - The Band trip this year is currently being planned for the week of March 15-19 (the week before Spring Break). This year's destination is to our nation's capital, Washington DC. We will be busing there and back. We will be offering tours of the Smithsonian Museums, Arlington National Cemetery, and hopefully, the Capital Building. This is not a required trip. It is simply an offering for students and parents. We will be using Orchestrated Adventures as our trip planners.
