Good afternoon MSMS Band!
Here’s your info for the week:
Final Regular Season MSMS Home Football Game
The final regular season game for the MSMS Football teams and 7th/8th grade pep band members is this Thursday, September 26. We will follow the same schedule as this past week.
We will need the 7th and 8th grade students to be in the Middle School band room by 4:45 p.m. All students will need to go home after school. The band room will not be open until 4:30 p.m. The kids will need to eat something before they come to the game. We will provide plenty of water for them to drink.
They will need the following:
Instrument
Lyre and Flipfolder with music
MSMS Band T shirt (shorts or jeans would be fine)
We will move into the stadium around 5:15 p.m. and be set by 5:30 p.m. There will be two games. We will stay through halftime of the second game. The band will play at halftime of both the 7th and 8th grade games. The second game is scheduled to start at 6:30 p.m. After halftime of the second game, we will take the kids back to the Middle School Band room and then they can be released to their parents. Parents, please be ready to pick your kids up at 7:45 p.m. It may be a few minutes before or after depending on the length of the games.

Chair Tests for 8th Graders
Chair tests for 8th grade band members (woodwinds and brass) will begin the week of September 23. Each child has been given a copy of the requirements as well as an email containing a recording of their particular prepared piece for reference.
This is the 8th grade’s first chair test. Parents, please encourage your child to practice their material. We have worked on it some during class (mostly the scale portion). We hope to hear lots of GREAT sounding chair tests from our 8th graders!
