Good morning MSMS Band!
Here’s your info for the week:
Fundraiser Items to be Delivered this week
Our Fall fundraiser items are scheduled to be delivered on Thursday, October 5. We will have everything sorted by student name. The items will be in the percussion room at the middle school. Students/parents may come by right after school to get their items. The band room will also be open until 5:00 p.m. Thursday afternoon for those that are unable to make it right after school. Thank you again for everyone’s help in making this fundraiser a success!
7th and 8th Grade Home Football Game
Our next 7th and 8th grade home football game is Tuesday, October 3.
The students will wear their 2023-2024 MSMS Band T-Shirt and shorts (it’s still hot…..).
Students should not stay after school because the directors have high school duties. Students should be in the MSMS Band room at 4:30 on these performance days. Parents, please drop students off in front of the MSMS main entrance. Shortly after 5:00 the band will proceed to the stadium and perform from 5:30-7:15. Around 7:15-7:30 p.m. the band will return to the Band room to be dismissed (this is usually shortly after halftime for the 8th grade game). Please make plans ahead of time regarding pick-up after the game.
Water will be provided free to the students.
MSMS Color guard members who are also band members will carry their instrument to the stadium (in the case) and perform with the band in the stands and with the Color guard during halftime.
All performances are MANDATORY. Students involved in school activities that conflict with these performances will be excused (when there is a conflict) but encouraged to join us when their activity is completed. Anyone with an outside of school conflict should contact Mr. Seay and Mrs. Hood so that a solution can be reached – contact should take place well before the scheduled performance. If a student is sick on performance day, the directors must know, so we know their whereabouts! If we are not informed, this could still count as an unexcused absence.
