First MSMS Pep Band Performance for 7th / 8th Grade is next Thursday, August 31!
Below are our reminders:
7th and 8th Grade Pep Band Information 2023
The MSMS Pep Band performs at the MSMS home football games. The students will wear their 2023-2024 MSMS Band T-Shirt and shorts (it will be hot). These shirts will be passed out early next week.
Students should not stay after school because the directors have high school duties. Students should be in the MSMS Bandroom 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 the band will return to the Bandroom 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.
All Pep Band members need a flip folder for their music. All woodwinds and brass also need the appropriate lyre for their instrument. These can be purchased at our local music stores.
MSMS Colorguard 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 Colorguard 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.
Tickets for the game can be purchased on GoFan.com: https://gofan.co/event/1059066?schoolId=AL73190 There is no charge for the students in the band to go to the game.
