Good afternoon MSMS Band!
Here’s your info for the week:
Band Night is Friday, October 4!
Our 7th and 8th grade band members get to perform with the MSHS Trojan Marching Band at the Athens football game on Friday, October 4! Those band members need to report to the MSMS band room at 5:30 p.m They will need to wear their Black MSMS Band Shirt and have their instrument & music. We will walk them over to meet the high school band at the gate to the stadium. We will all march into the stands around 6:10 p.m. We will be sitting on the visitor side. The game begins at 7:00 p.m.
The Middle School Color Guard will perform with the High School Color Guard on the field before the game. The combined middle and high school bands will provide the music for the guard groups. All told, we should have close to a combined (middle and high school) 260 band and color guard students in the stands Friday night!
After halftime, we will walk the middle school students back to the band room for parents to the pick them up. This should be around 8:30 p.m. – 8:45 p.m. For safety reasons, students will not be able to roam around the stadium after halftime, unless they are checked out by a parent first.
This is ALWAYS a fun event for our 7th and 8th grade band members! The high school members love it when they get to spend some time with the middle school band kids. It gives the middle school kids something to look forward to in high school! We look forward to this night every fall.
There is no charge for the students to go to the game. If parents would like to come, they will need a ticket.
