Thanks to everyone who applied and took the test. Everyone listed here will need to be at the Squad Leader seminar on August 5th and the new person seminar on august 6th. Please make proper plans as these dates, along with all of band camp, are MANDATORY for all leadership personnel. All leadership folks are on probation until the conclusion of band camp, where at the conclusion they will become fully commissioned. Obviously there are some sections that have more squad leaders than others. Some of the squad leaders from other sections will be assigned to sections needing help. I chose these people on the basis of their test scores, demonstrated leadership throughout the year, demonstrated responsibility over the year, demonstrated marching skill over the year, and what they wrote on the application.


If you have any questions, feel free to email (smigellj@howellschools.com) or call the office (517 540 8001)

Thanks much!!

Hello Band bloggers!

For those of you freaking out about squad leader postings, continue to freak out just a little longer. I will be posting them some time this evening. For those of you also wondering about the show music, I am also working on that as well with Mr. Stimson. All in good time! I wanted to drop everybody a line so they didn't think I was blowing them off! Don't worry very soon you shall have what you seek!

By the way... Because the programs need to get to the printers so early, we are going to be having an emergency photo shoot for marching band pictures on July 26th! Please leave that day open!!!!

Until very soon...

Mr. Smigell
