Millington Central High Band 2021-2022
Dear Parents and Band Students,

We are looking forward to another exciting year of band and we hope you are as well. This past year we faced numerous challenges, but our students have endured and grown musically regardless. We were featured in the
"Great American Chevy Race" at  the Memphis Motorsports Park, brought pep and fun to several home football games, had a stellar band concert in December, and had five out of six students make the All-West TN Honor Band. There seniors have also been accepted and received Music Scholarships from the University of Memphis and Murray State.

Our Second Semester Concert will showcase our students hard work and dedication they have achieved since December! Be sure to make plans to attend our 2nd semester concert on May 6th at 6:30 p.m. If you have any questions, please email Mr. Smith at ksmith@millingtonschools.org.

Currently, we a preparing the ground work for an award-winning marching season for the 2021-2022 school year. This year’s show is going to be amazing and promises to be a spectacular display of musicianship and marching!

Tuesday, July 13th, 2021, our Band Camp will begin at 7:00 a.m. sharp!
Please keep in mind that it will be hot during that time and a majority of the activities will take place outside. It is very important that your student(s) dresses in light colored clothing. Black clothing is prohibited during band camp and at rehearsals during the season. ONLY.....Comfortable shoes with socks should be worn! Flip-flops and sandals are NOT permitted. It is also recommended that students wear a ball cap, sunglasses and sunscreen. Please keep in mind that this is NOT a fashion show so have your student(s) dress for comfort. Please keep in mind that there is a dress code and inappropriate clothing will be addressed by the Directors. Hydration is important and students are encouraged to start now in hydrating before band camp. During band camp,  your student will need to bring a thermos with water, snacks, and Gatorade. SODAS or ENERGY DRINKS are prohibited.

CAMP PREPARATIONS
HYDRATE, HYDRATE, HYDRATE......NOW!
Start Walking, playing basketball, riding a bike! Do anything to get moving!

CALORIES AND FOOD DURING CAMP
Avoid eating junk food and over excessive soda drinks before camp begins.
Please be sure your student has breakfast each morning.
Students may leave campus during lunch but must provide Mr. Smith with a permission note from their parents stating which days they may leave campus and with whom they have permission to leave with from campus. Please keep in mind that your student will be burning calories at a rate higher than a typical lunch will provide so we strongly encourage each student to eat a good breakfast prior to arriving and bring additional food/snacks.

There are also expenses to the program that will need to be met.
If you have a financial burden, please contact Mr. Smith directly to work out a solution.
We want every student to be ABLE to participate.
