IMPTORTANT UPCOMING EVENT INFORMATION! PLEASE READ!

Hello everyone!
If you or your child is in band but not in marching band, fast forward to the bottom half of the post for concert information (Marching Banders, you read it too!)

GAME TOMORROW AND SENIOR NIGHT
As stated in the previous post, senior parent will need to be at the stadium by the "large inflatable object" by 6:25 (6:30 was previously posted, I figure 5 more minutes for good measure).  PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR SENIOR CHILD HAS TURNED IN THE FORM FOR HAVING HIS/HER NAME READ.  And now, the run down for everyone in marching band

FRIDAY OCT 12, 2012:

2:30 Full MB run through at the field
3:00 dismissed
5:45 report time (tail gate will occur earlier, check post below for details)
6:20 stepoff
6:25 meet parents
6:40 -ish Senior appreciation
6:50 pregame
7:00 Game


CONCERT NEXT WEEK

Yes, there is our first concert next week!  All "day" ensembles plus marching band (not including color guard or majorettes) will be involved.

For the non marching band portion of the concert, students are expected to "dress nicely": no tennis shoes, t-shirts, sweatshirts, jogging pants, etc. slacks, dresses, skirts, shirt and tie, sweaters, collared shirts, blouses are all acceptable.  All apparel must be "school appropriate".

It is true, there are parent teacher conferences that same night.  It was a scheduling glitch for which I accept responsibility.  I apologize for any inconvenience this will cause. 

REPORT TIME FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THE PERFORMANCE: 7:00PM

CONCERT START TIME 7:30PM

Marching band will be playing last.  It is always a crowd pleaser!


Any questions, email me at smigellj@howellschools.com

Senior Night

Parents and/or guardians please report to the football field at 6:30 this Friday night. If you could buy your ticket and line up on the side of the bleachers where the band marches in, North side, that would be great! Football families will go first, then band, alphabetically according to your student's last name.

Please feel free to eat with us before at the tailgate! There will be Hamburgers, hot dogs, and CAKE! We'll eat around 5pm. Always a good photo opportunity too!

Everyone check with your student to see if they agreed to bring something to the tailgate!

Senior Night Tailgate

Thank you to everyone who stepped up this past Friday and got us out of a food jam!!

This coming week, WE ARE ALL SET!! Some of the students did take a sticky note with what they'd bring to the tailgate on 10/12/12. You might want to ask your student if they picked a food item and what it is, especially if they don't drive.

Normally parents, or guardians escort the Seniors onto the field before the game and are acknowledged for Senior Night. In the past you'd need to be at the field early, I will check on that w/Mr. Smigell and post to the blog and facebook asap!

We do need set up help for the tailgate. Sometimes this also includes helping get water, percussion instruments and other items loaded and to the field before step off. Anyone who can help w/that please show up between 3:30-4pm. Help afterwards to get things back and unloaded is always helpful too. Any questions please call or text Christyne MacDermaid at 734-476-0312

Hey folks!  Report time for all mb participants tomorrow is 4:45pm at the football stadium.  Food will be served afterward.  Our joint performance is at approx 6:45 pm.  See you there! 

ALERT... NOT ENOUGH FOOD

Hello everyone,

WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH FOOD FOR THE TAILGATE.  There are 250 people being served on Friday and not enough people are volunteering to bring stuff. 

I hate asking people for things, it isn't my nature, but we are about to fall short and I know that the parents of Howell are ridiculously generous, they just need to be informed.

IF YOU ARE READING THIS... PHONE OR TEXT A FELLOW BAND PARENT TO LOOK AT THIS AS WELL!!!

Having said that, please read the previous post regarding what we need :)

Tailgate!

We still need a lot of food items donated for the tailgate on Friday!

We are all set on buns.
We still need some donuts, salads and a few other items.
We are having coney dogs. We aren't picky about what kind of salad. It could be anything that you think would go well with coney dogs, cole slaw, fruit, or even baked beans. Please contact the Palmieri family if you can help out the band kids and bring something to feed them. Their contact information is posted 2 posts below this one.
Thank you!
