Away Game at Rochester HS: Friday, October 13 For this performance, students are asked to arrive in SCHS gear to Rochester HS by 6:30pm. There will be no uniforms, busses or truck for this game, so students will need to make sure they bring instruments with them to RHS. We will meet just outside of the gates to the stadium before we make our way to the stands to play during the game. Opportunities The 2018 MSBOA All-District Honors Band will be held on January 12-13, 2018 at Clarkston HS. This year, there will be two different honors bands in order to accommodate the demand and include more students. Students participating will have the chance to work with highly acclaimed collegiate and high school band directors and work with highly skilled students from throughout our MSBOA District 4. There is a $60 participation fee if selected, which includes all fees, t-shirt, as well as some meals during the rehearsal days. All SCHS students are highly encouraged to participate! Any student wishing to participate in this awesome experience needs to let Mrs. Staniszewski know by Friday, October 13, 2017.
