Stadium Rehearsal Tuesday: Student call time will be 5:10, so we can walk down and set up in time for rehearsal to begin at 5:30. Parents, we will not be doing a public performance at this rehearsal.
Friday Athens Game: We will have about 120 MSMS students joining us for band night on Friday night. Due to the size, the MSHS band will sit on the visitor’s side for this game. We will be doing a pregame performance of the MSHS/MSMS color guard. They will perform Trojan March before the game. I would like everyone to be on flag for this performance.
Pep Rally Info for Band Students: Band students will be released to go to the band room at 12:45 on Friday. If you have D lunch, you will need to go to C lunch instead, that will be from 12:12-12:37 on Friday. If you are at the career academy during 3rd block, you will walk as a group over to MSHS at 12:40. The pep rally is open to parents and will take place in the MSHS gym from 1:15-1:35. After the pep rally, we will go into 4th block rehearsal.
