Night at the Races
That's right, it is that time again in which the Night at the Races packets have been passed out and we asked that you see admissions, horses, and sponsors for this wonderful fundraiser! This year it will be at "The Lodge of New Russia Township". If you've ever been there, you know it is an amazing and beautiful place. So in order for this to be a huge success, let's all try and get more admission tickets sold, more sponsors and more races! SELL SELL SELL!!!
Charms Practice Logs are coming back!
That's right, with the beginning of the new semester and the 3rd quarter. Due every Sunday by 11:50pm a grand total of no less than 70 minutes are due. However, in the Charms Practice Log area, please mark down what you specifically practiced that day. Mr. B will be checking for that as well. Not sure what to practice? For starters, all 12 scales and the tough spots in your concert music. For specific help, Mr. B would happily help you out on what you should do.
Mark you calendars!!!!
On February 28 we will be having out Band Trip Meeting!
From 6-7 we will have all Chaperones and then from 7-8 all students and their parents attend. There will be a TON of information, forms to fill out and you can ask questions. One of the forms is the emergency medical form which will need to be notarized and we will have Notaries on hand after the meeting, See you then!

Placement Auditions and Challenges
After the Band Mid-Term, the Placement Audition results were posted. Every year some students are not satisfied with their placement. As a result, students are allowed to challenge another student. They are allowed to do this up to 2 weeks before a performance. The challenge form can be found in Charms. Students who are being challenged for their spot MUST accept the challenge or they forfeit their placement.
Private Lessons
Private Lessons are essential for musicians. There are many times we hear "I wish I can sound like that". They sound that way because they take private lessons! Baldwin Wallace has an AMAZING music department with an OUTSTANDING private lessons program. We need to take full advantage of this opportunity! Click HERE for details!!!!
Uniform Pillows & Apparel for Sale!!
That's right! We have Marching Blue swag for sale along with Uniform pillows! Pillows are $40 and the swag varies in price. The Boosters take check, cash and credit card! Just email Mr. B!
Pep Band
All Students are Required to perform at 4 Pep Band events. Students are to report to the Band room @ 6:30 and wear Midview gear. Students must plan ahead and have their music ready BEFORE we rehearse, NOT during.
The January 12 pep band will be rescheduled to January 27!
Here are the Pep Band dates (click on the date to sign up)
Pep Band Music!
All of the Pep Band music is in Charms documents in the "Stand Tunes" folders. Most of us have smart phones so the best "green" way to get the music is to pull it up on your phone and take screenshots of the music...There are some copies of this music but once that is gone, it's gone...
