Students will need to dress for outside. They will need to wear tennis shoes (not sandals), have a WATER JUG (not a bottle), sun screen, and all their band needs. We have asked band members to have a backpack with them at all times to keep their band needs in. We will still not be using band lockers. Show up and leave with everything needed.
Here is our official schedule breakdown. All band students will meet at the following times, with masks, socially distanced.

All safety guideline put into place by the MSHS Band Staff will be STRICTLY enforced while on campus. Wear a mask at all times inside (except while playing winds), and always when within 6 feet inside or outside, no gathering together in close groups (even on water breaks), no sharing water bottles (eeww), and no sharing of instrumenting (gross).
+On a special note
We are so very proud of the way that our city schools and our band program has handled decision making over the past few months. Our administrators and your band directors have been on top on this situation from day one. On a daily basis someone reaches out to us asking about our policies and procedures we put into place months ago. In some instances we are discouraged that some have not put in the thought and safety precautions needed for other programs. Muscle Shoals city schools and the MS band program take pride in this leadership role. I hope you are as happy as I am to have our own children in this school system and in this band program. We will do everything in our power to keep your kids safe. Those aren’t just words, that is a promise and a commitment from the band staff.
