Mavband Puts on a great show
Hello to all our Mavbandfans!
Thanks to all who came out to support our band this evening as we were treated to a great concert packed with a media presentation that was second to none. All three bands put on a great show and their hard work and practice was very clear to see and hear!
Thanks to Gil Searcy, James Chen, Scott Blackwell and Dan Haas as they have once again shown why our media team rocks!
Our Media Sale was a HUGE success! Thanks to you and the Mellow Mushroom fundraiser last month, we will probably be able to at least buy our kids one additional meal on the Sugar Bowl trip. Once our final numbers are tallied, we will send out a mavblast letting you know! Thank you to each of our band parents who have so dilligently supported our band and the boosters. To make a band of this size work so well, it takes everyone's help. We are very blessed to have so many parents be part of our organization.
A special thank you to Kaye Emsley and all the Booster Board parents who have worked to tirelessly for our kids this marching season.
Don't forget to visit our Sugar Bowl and Roots of Music webpages!

Mavband makes the finals!
Congratulations to the Marching Mavs as they finished the 2010 marching season receiving "Superior" ratings and a 7th place finish in this years SCBDA State 5A competiton. The Marching Mavs worked a very long and tiring season this year with the ultimate goal of getting into the finals at state. It was so important in fact as our goal that Mr. Scheuch made a deal with the band. "If you get into the finals this year, I will shave my head and beard in honor of your making your goal!"
Spurred on by JR Carlisle (our advisor) and the strongest desire to compete, the Marching Mavs did just that! They beat out Spartanburg High Schools band for 7th place and missed beating Lexington HS by only .625 of a point.
Next up is the prepraration for the Sugar Bowl trip and "The Roots of Music" charity that we are supporting. For more information, click on these Mavband links:
That's all for today, keep checking back in. I'll try and update this blog more regularly.

Mavband Takes it ALL!!
Congratulations to the Marching Mavs as they put on a great show last Saturday in Laurens at the Henry Laurens Invitational! We won the Grand Prize Trophy as well as the Class 4 Trophy's!
Notables:
1) Our Pit Crew won the "BEST PIT CREW" of the tournament. That is our very first award recognition for those hard working band parents. They looked good out there for sure!
2) The band added some flash moves and components to the show which really boosted their scores. This week they got a Superior Rating scoring just over 90 points.
This weekend is the 25th Silver Anniversay Tournament of Bands. Doors open at 2pm and the Opening Ceremony will be held at 3pm. Look for some different activities during our opening ceremony this year.
Band Portraits will go on sale soon. All proceeds will go to help fund our Sugar Bowl Trip. More info to come!
That's all for today!
Mike
