Our official MB start may be postponed, but we are still looking to come together and do some special things in the days ahead:
LAST CALL! Rookie/Veteran Buddies! Our Rookie/Veteran Buddy program is going to kick off next week with some special things for our newest members. If you are a new marcher and haven't yet signed up, your last chance to get in on the fun will be TOMORROW, Friday, July 31st. If you haven't already signed-up, click here to get started! Likewise, if you are a veteran marcher who would like to help and hasn't yet signed up, you can get involved by clicking here! SCHS Music Dept. Spirit Wear Sale Our FanCloth spirit wear sale ends Friday, 7/31! All orders online, delivered right to your house. Click link to place your order. Cougar MB Virtual Spirit Week: 8/3-8/7/2020 Our Virtual Spirit Week is kicking off on Monday, August 3rd! All of the events over the course of the week will help our sections/teams earn points towards our Best Section Award to be given at the end of our season. All of the links, rules, and information will be posted in our Cougar MB Google Classroom on Friday, July 31st. Although this event isn't "required", the hope is that all students will participate however they are able. Both individual and section/team events were designed so that students could participate virtually, from their homes, on vacations, in whichever manner is best suited and safest for each student and family. The closest relationships, most memorable events are often forged through difficult times. Whether it's the heat of long days on the field or grinding our way through a global pandemic, it's the coming together to prove that we are stronger than these challenges that is one of the quintessential parts of the marching band experience. Your student leadership and I hope everyone is able to participate in the events of this week so when we are able to meet once again, we are not only amongst friends instead of strangers, but so that we can truly hit the ground "marching"! Show Shirt Designs Our student show shirt design contest is now included as one of the events for next week's Virtual Spirit Week. Show shirt designs are due by Thursday, August 6th; voting will begin at our "Ending Ceremonies" MegaZoom on Friday, August 7th. Grand Traverse Pie Company Fundraiser for SCHS Music Boosters Our Spirit Week will finish off with a special fundraiser lunch/dinner at Grand Traverse Pie Company on Saturday, August 8th. Forget about cooking or doing the dishes and join us in whichever manner makes the most sense for you and your family! Be sure to show this flier on your phone, or mention that you are with our group when ordering curbside/carry-out! Stay Tuned... As more information is confirmed in the weeks to come, it will be announced here, our Social Media Outlets, Discord, and e-mail. Please be sure to check your preferred methods of communication for additional updates. As always, if any questions or concerns arise, please feel free to reach out directly to Mrs. Staniszewski! Although our official season kick off has been postponed and we are not meeting in person until the school year begins, our Cougar MB Student Leadership team has been working diligently to plan some special activities to bring us together and build anticipation for our coming season. Please mark your calendars and we hope you can join us for these opportunities!
Spirit Week: August 3-7, 2020 Our Cougar MB Leadership Team and Staff will be hosting a Spirit Week from August 3-7, in anticipation of our upcoming season. Throughout the week, students will be invited to participate in a number of activities to help us safely connect, build up some excitement, and have fun! Any of these activities can be completed virtually, independently, or in safely distanced groups-- whatever your preference, schedule, and location may allow. The more activities students and their sections complete, the more points earned toward our Best Section Award to be presented at the end of the season. As we look ahead to our spirit week, we would LOVE to get as much student input as possible regarding the activities that are being considered as a part of this fun, week-long event. All Cougar MB members are asked to please fill out this form so we can tailor-make our Spirit Week to YOU! https://forms.gle/EEo2xF4Ji8wq9L5HA Show Shirt Design Contest This year’s show, Cougars With Everybody, will celebrate our efforts in bringing together our community through music as well as honor the other heroes that serve our community tirelessly. Beyond honoring the heroes in our lives through performing, we are also hoping to help our community through local charities as well. To that end, we will be holding a Show Shirt Design contest, in which all Cougar MB members are invited to submit their designs. Designs should be submitted to Mrs. Staniszewski by August 1, 2020. Students will have the chance to vote on shirt designs during our upcoming SCHS MB Spirit Week, August 3-7, 2020. The winning shirt design will be featured on t-shirts and hoodies, and sold online to ALL our SCHS Community- not only band families- with a portion of the proceeds going to local charities that serve our community, particularly during this difficult time. Once the winning design is selected, watch for apparel to go on sale by the end of August. Ordering and delivery will be contactless— order online and delivery right to your home! Rookie/Veteran Buddy Program Particularly with our unique world circumstances at the moment, we would especially like to connect with our new marchers to help them feel welcome and get the school year kicked off on the right foot! If you/your student hasn’t already done so but is interested, we would love for them to participate in our Rookie Buddy Program. We are looking to start pairing rookies and veteran marchers in order to kick off this experience during our Spirit Week as well. Deadline to sign-up is July 31, 2020. For more information and to sign up (if you haven’t already done so), please see these Google Forms: Buddy Program (Rookies Sign-Up): https://forms.gle/VW8VZzMbYg7fmjp59 Buddy Program (Veteran Marcher Sign-Up): https://forms.gle/6qetNT98otJLY2ye7 Please feel free to contact Mrs. Staniszewski, your Drum Majors, or Captains if you have any questions.
