Homecoming Spirit?

At MHS we are busy preparing for arguably the most important week of the fall term: Homecoming. Music groups play a large role in the celebrations, from coronation, to pepfests, to parades and pepband performances. While this is a time for celebration, students must remember that these celebrations should enhance not dominate the learning environment. We are already feeling the effects of homecoming - the concentration level is starting to decline! I hope that students remember that next Monday is not only coronation but also the first eligibility period, so attention must be given to assignments and work ethic in all classes!

I made the decision today to not have Coronation Jazz play this year. Instead, the entire concert band will play. We had too many holes in the ensemble that have yet to be filled from last year, especially now that we are taking three people out of the ensemble to be part of the court! I hope the students understand my decision! This will make life much more manageable and less stressful!
