We have one more big week in the Cougar Marching Band before a bit of a break, and we start looking ahead more to our Winter Concert (December 15th) and Solo & Ensemble events coming in early 2023. Here are all the details for this week and the weeks to come: Concert Ensembles (CB, SB, WE) MSBOA District Solo & Ensemble Registration Students electing to participate in Solo & Ensemble are now able to complete their registration forms.

Please mark your calendars-- participating students will need to attend all rehearsals in order to have this count for their chamber music project selection.
Community Service Lessons Students, please consider signing up to be a HS mentor for a Hart MS Band student! Mentors will give 30 minute private lessons to MS musicians through the school year, and it's a great way to share a love of music as well as earn NHS Hours, Key Club points, community service hours for scouts, and more. To sign up, please complete this form: Community Service Lessons Mentor Form Cougar Marching Band Congratulations on a great performance at MSBOA District Festival this past week!

The performance will begin in the SCHS Main Gym at 7pm, where all members will receive their awards for the season and perform highlights from the year's show. The performance will be followed with a reception and the opportunity for students to receive their awards. Please join us for this wonderful celebration of the season's accomplishments and efforts! CMB at Detroit Pistons: Friday, October 28, 2022 1) ALL STUDENTS need to purchase a ticket to perform for this event. This is required of Olympia Entertainment, as performers will not be given access inside the building without a ticket. Students should purchase the $19 ticket for themselves, which includes a $10 voucher for food in Little Caesars Arena once we are done performing. If you/your student hasn't already secured a ticket for this event, please do so as soon as possible. 2) Friends and Family are encouraged to join us for this performance! Friends and family tickets are available for $25 each. (These do not include food vouchers.) 3) All tickets need to be purchased through this link (link closes on Monday, 10/24/22): www.pistons.com/stoneycreekband 4) All students must also complete and sign a release waiver. Please complete one copy per student. Hard copies will be available in the band room. If you choose to print at home, please print two sided to keep on one piece of paper: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WMJgLc9o_pp3Mrjlt7Df-e8eFGfvNQ1i/view?usp=sharing 5) Busses will not be provided for this event, primarily to allow for families to have flexibility as well as make it easier for students to keep instruments secure in vehicles after we are done performing. (Busses would have to remain through the full game, forcing students to stay until the end of the event, whereas carpooling allows individual families/groups to decide when they are ready to leave.) Should any additional questions or concerns arise, please reach out to me as soon as possible to help secure answers and solutions. Looking forward to a fantastic event to celebrate the end of a great season! Student Leadership Meetings Our next meeting will be on Monday, November 14th at 5pm. Other dates for Leadership Meetings include February 6th (4:00pm), March 6th (4:00pm), April 10th (2:30pm), May 8th (2:30pm), and June 5th (2:30pm). Students, please mark your calendars- we'd love to have your voice in the meetings! Music Booster Announcements Detroit Symphony Orchestra Trip: Friday, December 2, 2022 Mark your calendars!
