Friday Night Meal - Parent Help Signup
Please click the link below to sign up to donate money, food, or to volunteer to help with the meal and/or snack at halftime at this Friday's Home Football game. We have about 60 more mouths to feed since the 8th graders are coming up to perform with the HS Band - please consider helping out!
We ask that everyone do what they can - it has been challenging this year to find enough volunteer help. We want to be able to continue to provide meals for students before home games, but we need lots of hands to make that happen!
MHS Band Fundraiser - Football Concessions
Concessions Fundraiser - Need student AND parent help!
The MHS Band will be providing concessions at one Varsity football game and one Freshman/JV game. We need 12-15 helpers for each event. The dates are:
- THIS FRIDAY!!! - Friday, September 29 - Varsity Football - MHS Band members will be performing and CANNOT work this event - need LOTS of parents for this one
- Thursday, October 19 - Freshman/JV Football
If you'd like to help out, please click on the link below and add your name and email to the Google Spreadsheet. This is a GREAT fundraiser for the band and is pretty fun to work at. Younger helpers are fine as long as a parent is working as well to help supervise.
Marching Uniform Care
After all performances, marching uniforms should be taken out of the garments bags and hung up (ideally with individual pieces on separate hangers) so that the uniform pieces can breathe.
DO NOT launder any of the marching uniform pieces - all uniform parts are dry clean only.
I would appreciate it if you would take a minute today or tomorrow to ask your child about this.
Lastly, as a reminder, uniforms should NOT stay at the school. They are to be taken home and stored appropriately between use.
Disney Trip Information - IMPORTANT!!!
Rehearsals for Disney Parade
This is just a head's up that we will be having 5 evening rehearsals for the Disney parade band once marching season ends (one per week for 5 weeks). I will be sending out a Google Form to gather input on the best days to schedule these rehearsals.
These rehearsals are important in helping us to prepare for the Disney parade performance. Students will be expected to attend these rehearsals if they are performing with the band in Florida.
Disney Park Group Signups
We will be asking the students to sign up for their Disney/Universal park groups during Advisory on Thursday, October 5. Please talk to your student about starting to figure out their park groups prior to that meeting.
Based on the number of chaperones going, we will likely have between 6-8 students per group.
