Thursday’s practice is from 6-8pm with the Light the Night event immediately following. We will be finished around 9pm.

Attendance for the Homecoming Parade is at 4:45pm. After school Friday, the boosters will provide pizza and water for those who are not going home because of the early attendance time.  The parade kicks off from the Middle School around 5:45pm down Wolf rd. towards the High School. The band will then have a quick bathroom/water break before continuing to the stadium for pregame. We will perform Script Bay for pregame. Our halftime show is new this week, we will play the music of John Williams.

Bay Music Boosters is looking for a couple of volunteers to help with Pizza Set-up/Serving. Please sign up here:

We had a wonderful band festival last Saturday.  At the end all 11 bands combined to perform America, the Beautiful.  Here is a clip from the press box. Enjoy!

Attendance for Friday’s football game at home vs. Elyria Catholic is at 6:00pm.
Attendance for Saturday’s Band Fest at North Royalton HS is at 5pm.

We had a great show at Buckeye last week.  I heard from many Buckeye parents that they loved our band performance. These are our last two performances of the Victory show. This is our only band fest this year so we need everyone there. Please get it approved by Mr. Spellman if you are coming from another event (such as cross country meet, athletic event, etc). I need to know as well so I can plan for busing. Thanks for taking care of this.

Next week for Homecoming we will be performing our John Williams show, with all of our favorite movie music. We will also participate in the homecoming parade and perform Script Bay during pregame next week. 

We also have a gig in the works from our Band raffle at the Blitz last year. The date is Sunday, Oct. 20. It will be in the afternoon at some point. We will have more details as we get closer, but please put the date on the calendar.

UPDATE: Change of plans – We will be using Remind again this year, instead of SchoolMessenger…

Students will join by texting @bhsmbwolf to 81010
Parents will join by texting @bhsmb29230 to 81010

This will allow us to send reminders and last minute changes out quickly.  Thanks.

Go Rockets! –Mr. Allen

Important Info re: Uniforms for Saturday

Any Marcher who needs to take their uniform with them for the festival due to another event on Saturday (such as a Cross Country meet), needs to see Mrs. Deibel or Mrs. Moore Friday after the game. They will provide you with a garment bag. Uniforms can be returned Tuesday at band practice so they can be inspected. Thank you!
