Announcements

  • ​Thanks to everyone who traveled to UT Martin to help cheer on these kids who did a terrific job last night! A special thanks to the parents who helped out in any way. We couldn't do what we do without your help!

  • TOMORROW we will begin our next fundraiser-Boston Butts-for our contest. Forms will be sent home with your student tomorrow. Ms. Sharon or Mrs. Wendy will email one out tomorrow as well. Each butt consists of 5-7 lbs. of BBQ and are cooked slowly overnight by our grilling staff. These are great frozen if you are working at the contest that day and won't have time to deal with it that day. Each butt costs $30 and each student will be asked to sell at least 2 or get $30 in donations. All orders and money are due NEXT MONDAY, September 22. butts will be available for pick up the morning of our contest, October 4 @ 7 p.m. which is the students will have to be at the school that day. Please do your part to make this fundraiser a success!

  • Friday is our first away football game @ Halls. The game begins @ 7:30. Students will have to be in their seats in the band room @ 5 for immediate departure. We will wear full uniform that night (minus makeup) so students will need everything they will need for full uniform attire when they get on the bus. We will arrive around 6 @ Halls. Students will then have a chance to get something to eat @ the concession stand. Students will ha​ve to be dressed @ 6:45. We will march into the stadium in time for the game to start @ 7:30. Ride Home Forms for the game are due NO LATER THAN THURSDAY @ 5 p.m.! NO EXCEPTIONS! Remember everything must be loaded BEFORE students will be allowed to check out.

  • Saturday, we have a double contest day @ Crockett Co. and Henry Co. Students will meet in the band room @ 9:30 a.m. Saturday for immediate departure to Crockett County. The boosters will feed the students a hamburger or hot dog following the Crockett Co. contest. See attached itinerary for exact details. Ride home forms are due Friday @ 3 p.m. for the contest. NO EXCEPTIONS! Students MUST ride the bus until AFTER the Henry Co. competition.

  • Remember you must fill out a Ride Home Form for each event! Example-You cannot put the football game and the contest for this week on the same form. You must turn in two different forms. A copy of the ride home form is on the website and attached to this email. There will also be copies available on the band room table if you need one.

  • NOTE-If you are traveling in the band caravan to/from contests, please travel behind the last bus or equipment trailer because we are in constant radio contact and extra vehicles will sometimes separate the caravan and interrupts our communication via radio.

  • Seniors: State Scholarships are due postmarked by October 1st! Mr. Brockman can help with the recording of audition material if you will make contact with him to see his availability. DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE ON THIS!

  • We still need help with our contest on October 4th! Contact Kim Todd today if you still do not have a job for that day. We need EVERYONE'S help to make this day possible!
