MARCHING BAND MB Attendance Policy Reminder: As we head into the school year, please note that attendance is required for all MB rehearsals and evening Band is truly one of the ultimate team activities; when one person is absent and a hole is left in their spot or their part is not performed, our show is not as effective. We at our best only when every member is present. If a student is not able to attend any rehearsal or event, advanced notice needs to be given in writing (e-mail) to Mrs. Staniszewski for it to be excused. Unexcused tardies and absences may result in the lowering of a student's grade and/or being asked to sit out from a performance. Rehearsals Rehearsals this week will be held on Monday night (9/14) 6-9pm and Wednesday morning (9/16), 6:15-7:15am. There will be NO Thursday morning rehearsal. Bloomfield Hills HS Early Bird Invitational- Wednesday, September 16th, 2015* The BHHS Invitational is coming up this week on Wednesday night!

If your student has not yet submitted either of those items (syllabus and form on Google Classroom), they will show up as "zeros" on myRCS until they are submitted. Once they are turned in, they will receive credit. Also on Google Classroom, students will find the form for using a band locker for the year as well as the form to sign up for Large Chamber Ensembles. Before filling out the band locker form, students will need to secure a lock for their locker.
