mvervoort@mcpasd.k12.wi.us). You may not receive a response but we will try to fix your issue on the second draft of the schedule.

Note that if you need to make a new time request, we will do our best to make it work but please realize it may not be possible.

3. Access to backing tracks and demos for Class B solos from the packets.

If you are performing with a recording, start practicing with it ASAP so you get used to how it goes. At Solo/Ensemble, you will need a device with a headphone plug in order to play your track. (Your school chromebook works great for this.)

12/28/22 Galin Education Event Reminder

Hello and Happy Holidays,

We wanted to briefly remind people about the upcoming event held at MHS on January 4th @ 7pm where Zach Galin, president of Galin Education will be talking about how band, orchestra, and choir can be used in the college admissions process. The event is designed for non-music and music majors in order to help students and families understand and optimize music classes and their time in high school to best prepare them for college. There will be opportunities for questions and a layout of how to prepare for modern college admissions. MHS music teachers will also be present to assist with any music specific questions. Students and families are strongly encouraged to attend and rsvp at this link.

Thank you, and have a good rest of break!

12/21/22 Galin Education Event

Hello everyone, and Happy Break,

On January 4th @ 7 pm, Zach Galin, president of Galin Education will be coming over to MHS to talk about how band, orchestra, and choir can be used in the college admissions process for music and non-music majors. We recommend taking the opportunity to attend this free event by sending an rsvp at this link and ensuring your information on the modern college process is up to date, as many of our music families have high expectations for their participating students. We hope that providing this event will allow our students to take full advantage of their time in high school, including using their music classes to their benefit, no matter their plans after high school.

Thank you, and have a great break!
