Dear M100 Family,
Summer Band 2024 is now behind us, and it has been an interesting start to the season, to say the least. From an unfinished band hall, to rain on the first day of summer band, to an elaborate prank on the band tower, to spending the first week and a half on another campus, to attempting to return to our campus with classrooms with no AC, to cars parked on our practice field on the last day, to the Parent Preview performance getting rained/hailed out, with staff and family members making an effort to salvage our percussion equipment in the aftermath…it has definitely been one for the books.Â
With the first week of school upon us, it is important for us as a community to continue to commit to the drive and dedication toward a successful season, because despite all of the aforementioned obstacles, we have still managed to have one of the strongest starts to our season that we have had in recent times! There will still be pieces falling into place once the school year starts, so we will need to continue to be flexible in order to navigate any upcoming obstacles, while doing whatever it takes to put forth amazing performances without leaving any doubt or question as to whether or not we have reached our potential. Ready or not, school starts on Wednesday, so let’s take on this school year and marching season with full force!
Here is your weekend update!

NEW INFORMATION AND UPDATES
7AM REHEARSALS BEGIN ON THURSDAY!
We will begin our morning practices on Thursday, August 15 at 7:00am. This is new for us, but it is incredibly important that EVERY MEMBER does whatever is needed to arrive BEFORE our rehearsal time begins. The success of our season depends on EVERYONE showing up. Failure to arrive on time will impact your band class grade, as well as compromise your ability to keep your spot.bThe band hall will open at 6:15am each morning that we have a morning rehearsal scheduled. On days that we do not have morning rehearsal, the band hall will open at 8:00am along with the rest of the school.
