May 28, 2019 - MHS Band End-of-Year Reminders

Hello band parents and students, Please read on for a few reminders about the end of the year.  The end is in sight! 1.  Memorial Day Typo - In my email about Memorial Day, one sentence said "Tuesday" instead of "Monday."  All events are of course taking place this Monday, 5/27 on Memorial Day. 2. School Instruments - All school-owned instruments and mouthpieces will need to be returned next week.  After taking inventory and sending equipment in for repairs, we will be ready to check out instruments again the week of final exams.  There is no fee for summer rental as we want to encourage students to practice over the break.  Rental availability is somewhat limited, and priority is given to students using instruments for marching band and concert band. 3.  Locker Clean-outs - Next week, students will clear out their band lockers and leave only necessary belongings.  All lockers must have a blue school lock on them; the replacement fee is $5 if you have lost yours during the year. 4.  Remaining Concerts - There are a few events left at the PAC.  Consider attending to enjoy some great music, or to finish up a listening assignment.  - May 24, 6:30pm -- Jenna & Sophia's Senior Percussion Recital  - May 25, 7:30pm -- MHS Percussion Class Concert  - May 29, 7:30pm -- MHS Orchestra "Almost Summer" Concert  - May 20, 7:30pm -- Middleton Community Orchestra 5. Brewers Game - This fall, the orchestra will be performing the national anthem at a Brewers game on Labor Day.  Come out and hang with other MHS music parents and support the orchestra at the same time.  Ticket details to come. --   Michael Ver Voort  Music Teacher & Director of Bands  Middleton High School  (608) 829-9680  mvervoort@mcpasd.k12.wi.us
