Sugar Bowl Website Launched

The Mauldin High School Band proudly announces that our Sugar Bowl Website is now up for your review. The link is http://www.mavband.com/sugarbowl. From here, you can find links to very important pages that will describe in more detail. Included are: costs involved, Mavband Rules / Responsibilities, a sample Itinerary, FAQ's, Safety Precautions, Competition Info and links to other projects associated with this trip.

Our trip will cost about $835, and nearly all the funds can be raised by volunteering at various fundraisers. That's right, simply selling Cheese Nachos, working the Greenville Drive Games or participating in other fundraisers can pay for almost your entire trip.

As Mr. Scheuch has stated, "This is a once-in-a-high-school-career opportunity as we only plan events such as this on a 4-year basis." Don't let the cost involved deter you from being part of this historic event.

Keep checking back on our website for more details over the next few months. Want to know how much longer you have til the big day? Check out the countdown window in the Info Center on our home page.

That's all for now!

Mavband is Sugar Bowl Bound

Sugar Bowl Trip
The Marching Mavs are heading to the 2011 Allstate Sugar Bowl held in New Orleans, La.! This trip will not only have us competing in the Sugar Bowl Marching Competition, but will also have us playing on the field at halftime as well. We have a couple of other items planned as well, and we'll let you know all about them once they are finalized.

The cost of the trip is approximately $835 and can be paid for almost entirely by just participating in the Drive Game or Cheese Nacho's fundraisers. Our new financial reporting year for the school district begins on Jan 1st so any amount of service you provide in fundraising is applied to your fair share for next year begins then. We promise lots of dates for all who are interested.

 Mavband Media Team news!
Our Media Team announces that this years' poster entitled "Overcoming Through Perseverance" will be available for purchase online beginning in March or April. This poster will feature our different bands and has a famous quote at the bottom of it. We will sell it framed as well as just as a poster. It will be available for pick up at the Spring Concert.
