We had a great first week of school and looking to continue that success into this week! All Symphonic Band and Wind Ensemble students need to order a Future M100 Shirt THIS WEEK for our upcoming MS Band Night on September 19. 8th Graders who still have theirs from last year do not need to fill this out and our Boosters are providing this to our students for FREE! 

We will also start our After School Sectionals one day next week from 4:00-5:00pm. Please make arrangements for next week to pick up your students by 5pm at the side Cafeteria entrance since directors are required to stay with your student until they are picked up for safety.
