Good Luck to the MHS Marching Band as they return once again to the WSMA State Marching Band Championships this Saturday at UW-Whitewater. They will again be performing in the Festival class that first debuted last year.
Students - be responsible! That statement covers a number of topics (i.e. review music, review dot books, learn what is on the packing list and pack it, read your e-mail and review the upcoming schedule, know where you are supposed to be and when, act appropriately at UW-W, etc.).
Parents - please pay close attention to the parent section of the schedule. It has important information regarding the parking & cost of the event on Saturday. We hope to see you there on Saturday to support your marcher. To learn more, visit http://www.wsmamusic.org/programs/marching_band/index.html.
Have a great time and good luck! I already know how much time the marching band has put in and I know it's going to be a great show. Now get out there and practice. :)

Homecoming Nominees
Congrats to Marching Band members K.M. for the guys and K.G. for the girls! Due to the whole internet privacy deal, I'm not going to spell out their full names for all to see. But congratulate them when you see them in school!
P.S. If you don't know who I'm talking about, K.M. is the low brass section leader and K.G. is the drum line captain.

Great start!
Hey 2008 marching band,
Outstanding performance last night! It's always great to get the first show in front of an audience under your belt. I heard so many good things from parents and alumni. I'm even happier to hear good things from you all... according the Keith, "That was AWESOME!"
Thanks also to the Mukwonago Summer Band. We hadn't played together in a couple weeks, but you still played very well. Once we got our marching band t-shirts on, it was amazing to see how many students crossed over from both ensembles. I suppose that's bittersweet; it would be nice to have more of the young musicians involved with the group during summer months, but it's also really cool to see how many of you enjoy music so much that you want to be involved in multiple groups. Good for you guys!
So, marching folks, it's time to take a day off, reflect on how you did, and come Wednesday night fired up for our first evening rehearsal. It's time to get pep band music out, and I promise those three hour rehearsals are going to move quick! DON'T FORGET THE BUG SPRAY!!!
Can't wait to see you all soon. Oh, and as the new school year approaches, dust off those scales, high schoolers!!!
