From Dr. Kraus…

Many of our Belmont Bruin Blast pep band members are gone for the holidays, and we are in need of talented area high school musicians to play for our holiday basketball game on Monday, December 28. The call time is 5:30 pm at the Curb Event Center, and the game begins at 7:00. The students will be paid $20, and pizza will be provided. Many of your students have done this in the past, and we have enjoyed hosting them. If you have interested students, please have them contact me via EMAIL (barry.kraus@belmont.edu) ASAP.

LAX Wrap Up, TRI Itinerary, October Overview

Posted on by

The McGavock HS Marching Band did a great job at Antioch Saturday. They persevered through the torrential downpour halfway through the performance. We requested that the band not be scored against the other band in our class due to the extenuating circumstance and lack of equitable comparison, and the Antioch Band Director agreed. Apparently, there was a miscommunication between him and the press box announcer and our score was announced inadvertently. Needless to say, the students and parents all pushed through and did a wonderful job and we are so proud!

Please find the TRI Itinerary and the October Band Overview on Charms or by clicking those links.  We were able to reserve the MTSU stadium once again this year on Monday, 10/19 for the annual COC dress rehearsal. Please see detailed times on the pdf.

Booster Meeting Tuesday

Posted on by

There will be an incredibly important band booster meeting on Tuesday, July 21st at 6:30PM in the NE Cafeteria at McGavock High School. Prior to the beginning of the meeting, there will be notary public and tables available for turning in forms.

This meeting will be an overall look at the McGavock Band program and the expectations of the year. It is incredibly important for every student and an adult representative of that student to be there so that we all start off on the same page!

We will also have Mr. Johnny Thomas there to do a kickoff of our spring trip to Orlando!

Please make every effort to attend this meeting and please also bring a dessert of some kind to share. There will be a dessert line after the meeting has concluded.

Thank you and look forward to seeing everyone there.
