We are heading into the final turn before the home stretch of “Bandtober”.
There are four major events for Marching Band over the next two weeks and a Band Booster Meeting thrown in for good measure. Please make sure to read all emails from Ms. Morgan, the Boosters (SignUpGenius volunteer requests) as well as monitoring Ms Morgan’s Calendar of Events for specifics and updates for all of these upcoming events.
The Boosters will be asking for more volunteers these last couple of weeks to assist at the AZMBA shows due to adding more props to the show, and also for more help during Senior Night to help with Concessions and Props during the football game (all Senior parents will not be working on Senior Night so they can enjoy their last home football game with their senior)
Senior Night AND Buckeye Show volunteer opportunities galore!
UPCOMING EVENTS
Home Football Game (Senior Night)
NOV 1 (Friday) Matadors vs Scottsdale Christian (Kickoff is 7pm)
This is the last time our Seniors will be performing in Marching Band at a home football game. There are traditional activities planned before and after the game for the seniors to celebrate their time at SMHS as football players, cheerleaders, and marching band members.
The Band Boosters will need volunteers for the Concession Cart, pre-game decorating of the stands, lights, photography, water and snack duty. Click Here to Volunteer. Band will be performing in the stands and their show “Beyond the Mirror’s Gaze” at halftime.
Please see Ms. Morgan’s Band Calendar for call time, uniform, and any other details for this performance.
