Senior Parents
Once the band exits the field after halftime, Seniors will take a group photo at the flag pole - parents are welcome to be there to take their own pictures as well at that time.
MHS Band Fundraiser - Football Concessions
Concessions Fundraiser - Need student AND parent help!
The MHS Band will be providing concessions at the Freshman/JV game on Thursday, October 19. We need 12-15 helpers for this event.
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!!!
FINAL Disney Parent Meeting
The FINAL meeting for the Disney trip will be on Wednesday, November 1, at 6:30p in the MHS Auditorium. At this meeting we will be going over
- Itinerary
- Trip Handbook
- Rules/Regulations
- ...and lots more!
We request that at least one adult from each family that has a student traveling on the trip is in attendance for this meeting.
There will also be a MANDATORY meeting immediately following the informational meeting for all chaperones who are going on the trip.
Rehearsals for Disney Parade
After speaking with students this week, the overwhelming request was to hold our Disney parade rehearsals on Monday nights. The dates for Monday night rehearsals for Disney will be
Monday, October 23
Monday, October 30
Monday, November 6
Monday, November 13
Disney rehearsals will be approx. 90 minutes in length, and rehearsal times are still TBA.
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.
