Festival Info:
Concert Band, Symphonic Band, Highlander Band, and Wind Ensemble will go to the MMEA Festival on Friday, March 6th (HB & WE) and Saturday, March 7th (CB & SB). They will be performing at Fowlerville High School (click here for map). All are welcome to attend! This is a mandatory performance for students in the performing bands.
Each band will report to the band room at different times. Once attendance is taken, the students will be driven via school bus to FHS. After their performance and judging, the students will be taken back to HHS via school bus.
It is important that the students arrive at the band room on time and in their respective ensemble's uniform to prevent any tardiness. Students will need to make sure they have their instrument (including any extra needs like reeds, oil, etc.) and sheet music.
Highlander Band and Wind Ensemble students will receive a "school related" absence during the time they will be gone from school. This absence is excused and not counted against them for days missed. Field trip permission slips will be coming home with students on Tuesday and need to be signed and returned by Thursday.
