Reminders
  • Band Boosters are providing a brunch so that all students have a balanced meal going into Ford Field. Some snack items will also be available to students for the bus rides to/from Ford Field. Our performance time falls in a way that will make it nearly impossible for students to get concessions after our performance and before awards.
  • Please be extremely careful while in uniform. The cost of replacing a uniform coat is $475, the pants are $225. YOU are responsible for keeping your uniform clean throughout the day.
  • Double check to make sure you have your Dinkles, mid-calf length black socks, and white gloves BEFORE YOU LEAVE YOUR HOUSE.
  • You are responsible for (un)loading your instrument throughout the day.
  • Mr. Buckley will dismiss the band upon return to MHS. NO ONE leaves until after they have been dismissed.
  • Bring a positive attitude! Recover quickly and put your best (left) foot forward!
