Congratulations once again to all students who will serve as leaders next school year in the M100. Section leaders please remember that you have professional training on July 27th and 28th which has been paid for. Please let me know ASAP if you have any sort of conflict with these dates. Camp is at BHS.
Here is a link to a google form for students to sign up if they are interested in any of the band officer positions that remain open. Directors will choose those positions later in the summer. Form expires on May 22nd.
The interest form is located on the Students page on the Band Website. And, don’t forget, the Password to the Students Page is M100!
INSTRUMENT / ITEM RETRIEVAL
The band directors will be available May 20th and 21st for students to come to the front of the school driveway to retrieve and/or drop off items. All of this information was sent to you in email on Monday, May 11th
Two sign-up forms were also shared with you. If you have any business to take care of with us on either day…fill out these two forms ASAP! We need to know ahead of time so we can prepare – STUDENTS WILL NOT BE ENTERING THE BUILDING. There is much construction AND we are trying to continue social distancing.
Brass players – please remember we CANNOT access the brass locker room due to construction.
Please fill out a sign-up genius indicating when you will be coming by the school to pick up or drop off items.

A reminder that Jazz Band classes have been moved to 7th period for next year and Concert Band to 4thperiod due to facility issues.
