OMEA S&E REHEARSAL THIS FRIDAY!!!!
Our Accompanist for OMEA's Solo and Ensemble Contest is coming this Friday (January 12) from 3-8 to rehearse with all soloists. Sign up for a time with Mr. B and be ready!
Band Fees and Band Trip payments
Some students still owe for band fees from Marching Season and others still have not yet paid for the 2nd Band trip payment. You can pay with cash or go on the website and pay through PayPal
Band Trip and Room sign-ups
We are beginning to sign up for rooms for the Band trip in April. However, some people that are signing up either have not paid or have only made 1 payment. As a result, your name cannot go on the room list until you have made 2 $200.00 payment. Please check your financial statements in Charms to see if you missed any payments so far.
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!
Lorain County Solo and Ensemble contest!
All students wishing to participate in the Lorain County Solo and Ensemble contest have until January 11 by 12:30pm to turn in money and their music of choice. Anything after that will not be accepted. Checks can be written out to Midview Band Boosters.

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.
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...

- Regiment- Full Fight song
- Eye of the tiger (measure 3)

Pit Rehearsals!
Every year, the drama department has the members of the band perform in the "pit" for the musical. Please check Charms for the rehearsal schedule and performance times. If you are interested in performing in the pit, see Mr. B
Tri-M
What is Tri-M?
Tri-M is short for Modern Music Masters. It is an honors society for musicians. If you are interested in joining, you must be performing at the top of your ability regularly and always providing help for other students and directors. For more answers, ask Mr. B!
