Hello everyone!  Here are some notes about upcoming events in the band world. First of all, thank you to the students in the Pep Bands who helped out this past week on Thursday and Friday.  I heard that Friday went a bit late – so sorry.  But thanks for cheering the team on!  This week the only game is on Friday.  It is the Black Pep Band.  We will be joined by our 6th grade Honor Band students so please encourage them and help them along the way.  This event is a lot of fun for them but a bit overwhelming.  Your kind smiles and helpfulness mean a LOT to…

Hello everyone.   We're getting close to the Thanksgiving Break.   Don't give up now.  We're doing so well.  You can do it! Here's what's coming in the next couple of weeks.  There are a lot of little details contained - read on for all the details! Monday (tomorrow) Pep Band will rehearse at 7:00a.  The Hollywood Marching Band will go outside during class.  It looks to be the warmest day of the week.  Dress warmly. Tuesday Full Orchestra students will have a Seminar rehearsal with Mr. Mulvenon and the string students.  Bandaides meeting in the band room at 7:00p.  Hollywood questions at 7:30.  Final MVP training at 8:00p Wednesday…

BRAVO to the Marching Band for last weekend’s performance! It was a great day of watching some other bands, hanging out with friends, and putting on a great performance!

How much fun was the concert on Thursday night and then the Glow Show on Friday?  Way to go everyone.  All of our bands had a performance this past week and everyone represented themselves with pride and greatness.  You should all feel very proud of your accomplishments! (more…)

WOW!   Awesome job yesterday!   We are so proud of your work and accomplishments.  In case you hadn't heard, the Band placed third in our division, the drumline was second in their division (indoors) and the Colorguard was first in their division (indoors)!  Thank you all for everything you have invested into making yourselves and your band better.  Hard work always pays off.  (more…)

I’m so excited that we got the entire show on the field this past Friday (video link) with all of the backdrops and drills.  Thank you for all the hard work and extra time for sectionals, coming to build props, measure and get measured for uniforms, etc.  You are all wonderful!  Now we continue cleaning and ADDING more visuals. OK, here comes another crazy week in October!   Hang on and please read carefully. Monday (10/3) Monday (tomorrow) – SMSD Marching Festival  SM South Stadium.  Call time has been moved up to 4:45.  We had some issues with pants when students took them off on Friday night – many came unsnapped…

Bravo Marching Band!    Great first outing on Friday night!  Mr. Hupe & I were very proud of your accomplishments for pre-game and half-time as well as in the stands. Thanks to ALL the parents who helped make Friday night a success – with the truck, chaperones, tailgate, pictures/video, and others I’m not even aware of. Your presence and involvement is incredibly encouraging! Tomorrow morning we watch the video to learn from our performance and then begin to add on drill for movement three!  (more…)

Are you excited? Are you ready? Our first live performance for the Marching Band, Color and Dance teams is this Friday! We have the whole schedule for the week listed out, and ways parents can help too!

Bravo Marching Band!    Great first outing on Friday night!  Mr. Hupe & I were very proud of your accomplishments for pre-game and half-time as well as in the stands. Thanks to ALL the parents who helped make Friday night a success – with the truck, chaperones, tailgate, pictures/video, and others I’m not even aware of. Your presence and involvement is incredibly encouraging! Tomorrow morning we watch the video to learn from our performance and then begin to add on drill for movement three!  (more…)

Are you excited? Are you ready? Our first live performance for the Marching Band, Color and Dance teams is this Friday! We have the whole schedule for the week listed out, and ways parents can help too!
