Dear Admiral Band Family,
Congratulations to all of our indoor groups on outstanding performances this past Saturday in competition. Gulfport Percussion 1st Place in class A, the Cadet Winter Guard finished in 3rd place in the cadet class, the JV Winter Guard finished in 5th place in Scholastic Regional A, and the Varsity Winter Guard finished in 3rd place in Scholastic A. Incredible progress last week! Let's keep pushing forward to make things better!!
Mr. Ball wants to remind all indoor students to be at the school Monday morning by 7:45 AM to help unload the trucks. These need to be completely unloaded before class.
Rhythm and Waves will be this Saturday, February 11th. Students wishing to volunteer will be able to do so beginning Monday.
Fundraising:
King Cakes will be available for pick-up after school on Monday, February 6th.
Boston Butts will be cooked and handed out on Thursday this week from 4:30-6:00 PM outside of the GHS cafeteria. We will need help in the following ways:
Volunteers:
A typical cook day requires volunteers: 5:30 am to season the meat. 11 am to wrap the meat in foil and place back on the smokers. Each of these times should require 90 minutes of volunteers time: 3:15 pm until 6:30 pm to pull the meat off the smokers, pan and handle pick up and clean up. Please email Mr. Ball william.ball@gulfportschools.org to volunteer at any of those times. We will need 4-6 volunteers at 5:30 AM, 11 AM and 3:15 PM.
Beef Stick fundraiser is ongoing.
Symphonic Band: Music Pass off 1 is due by midnight tonight. Concert C scale is open for pass off as well. Normal sectionals this week.
