SCHS Band - MNR: October 31, 2022

Good Evening SCHS Band Members and Families,

Here is your Monday Night Rundown (MNR) for the week of October 31:
 
TN Division II SMBC - Critical Update
Calling all band parents - We are 4 days away from this event and we still have several positions that need to be filled and items donated. The difference between a $10,000 day and a $30,000 is you! Hosting the Tennessee Division II State Marching Band Championship is a huge honor and undertaking. The smallest things make the biggest differences. 
 
As of tonight we have NO parents signed up for evening concessions or tickets sales, and we need parents to sign-up to work parking. We also have NO parent help for Sunday clean-up and tear-down. Additionally, we still need donated items. Please sign up
 
The vote for site host is voted on by the directors of this contest and we are in competition with schools in surrounding counties who also have turf fields who would like to host this event. Please help us make this event a success by clicking the two links below:
