From the Podium: 8/21-8/25

We have a big week in the band room! It’s our first game and senior night!

Heat Safety: It is going to be very hot this week. We will make sure appropriate breaks are taken and that we do not stay out in the heat longer than is advised. You can help us by making sure you are drinking water today and coming to school with full half gallon/gallon water jugs!

Pep Rally Info for Band Students: Band students will be released to go to the band room at 12:45 on Thursday. If you have D lunch, you will need to go to C lunch instead, that will be from 12:12-12:37 on Thursday. 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.

3:15 – the bell rings and all students leave campus. We do not eat during the game, so be sure to eat dinner before you come back to school for the game.

5:15 – call time for all students. For this game, we will wear our “Shoals” shirts and black or jean shorts or pants. Auxiliaries will wear their football uniforms.

Thank you to Dr. Frederick for heading up this project and to ALL the volunteers who showed up and showed out yesterday to build shelves and reorganize our percussion room and equipment. This room will be much more functional for our students and rehearsals now!
