Weekend Update 3/5/2023

Dear M100 Family,

We are one week away from spring break! Let's use this week to feel confident in our UIL preparation while also hyping up the guard for their next contest this Saturday at Vista Ridge! Our middle schools (Belton MS and South Belton MS) will also be participating in their UIL Concert and Sight Reading performance this Wednesday! Here is your weekend update!

NEW INFORMATION AND UPDATES

PLEASE CHECK THE "UPCOMING REHEARSAL" SECTION BELOW - The dates for all of this week's upcoming before/after school sectionals is at the end of the weekend update! Don't forget to check your schedule for the week!

UPCOMING LEADERSHIP SESSIONS/FUTURE SECTIONAL DATES - This year, we are looking to begin our leadership process for next year's marching season much earlier than what we have done in the past. We will be discussing as a staff this week to finalize dates for our leadership trainings, which will also mean that the sectional schedule will look different after we return from Spring Break. We will discuss more details in class this week.

REMINDER: ACCOMPANIST FEES - Students who performed a solo with an accompanist will need to provide a fee of $50 for the rehearsals and performances. Please make checks payable to "Belton Band Boosters" and turn them in to Mr. Kwaku by Friday, March 10.
