Mavband Updates


Hello, 


We have a couple of quick announcements today that you need to be aware of regarding our band.


  1. Saturday @ Foard HS
  2. Remaining Competitions
  3. Booster Meeting


Foard HS Competition
Our next competition is tomorrow at Fred T. Foard High School in Catawba, NC. You can visit their webpage and get all the details by clicking this link: Foard Band Classic


We need parents to help load the trailer at 12pm tomorrow. The truck will leave about 1pm or so. It's a great idea to buddy up and go to the contest with other band fans as we can share the cost and enjoy the time as a band family. 


Remaining Competitions
After tomorrow, we have the West Oak competition in Westminister, SC on October 31st and the State 5A Championships at SC State University on November 7th. Please make it a point to attend this competition as it is the culmination of an entire marching seasons' effort. 


Booster Meeting
Our next booster meeting is going to be held on Thursday, November 12th at 7pm in the band room. 

Agenda items include:

1) Welcome
2) Treasurer's Report (to include tob)
3) Old Business
4) New Business
5) Director's Update
6) Adjournment

Keep checking back as our blog, mavblasts and website are updated regularly!

24th Tournament of Bands a success!

Congratulations to the Boosters, Band and Staff as our 24th annual Tournament of Bands went off very well. We had an estimated 3200 fans, staff and band members in attendance. To all the Parent Volunteers who came out and supported our band, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. To our Band members who worked so hard, played well and were an example to those around, We Thank You. To Mr. Scheuch, our staff and their families, we thank you for your tiring pursuit of excellence that you are showing our band.

As next years' 25th TOB is now in the beginning stages, we encourage you to let us know what you thought of our event and what you would suggest that may make it even better. Contact myself or Kaye with your ideas and thoughts.

Next up is our competition at Foard High School in Catawba, NC (Near Hickory). Now is a great time to plan to carpool, volunteer and make preparations for the event.

Thanks again,
Webguy

Grand Champions @ Boiling Springs

A very Wet Soaked "CONGRATULATIONS" to the Marching Mavs as they won Grand Champion at the Festival of Bands competition held at Boiling Springs High School. It was cold, windy and pouring down rain for most of the evening making our victory that much more sweet. A big THANKS to all the band parents who survived without life vests for sticking around.

This Saturday we march at Byrnes High School. The weather will be great and so we expect a great crowd supporting our band. You can get directions and all the info for the tournament by clicking on our website or this link!

Don't forget that the 24th Annual Tournament of  Bands will be held next Saturday, October 10th! Please make every effort to participate and enjoy the fun.
