MCI Week Information (UPDATED 10/11)

MCIIt is here! The Music City Invitational is one of the most respected and well known contests in Middle Tennessee. It is so incredibly important for everyone to help out and to be where they should be when they should be there.

A reminder that ALL STUDENTS MUST WORK at MCI and it is required for STUDENT’S PARENTS (OR VOLUNTEER) TO WORK TWO 4 HOUR SHIFTS. This is to ensure that everything runs smoothly.

If you have not volunteered yet, please contact Debra Webb (debra.webb@capitol.tn.gov) or contact one of the chairpersons in file below.

READ: Important Updates

 

  1. A reminder that all students must be present at every rehearsal as per the band handbook policy that all students and parents signed prior to camp. Any emergency absences must be conveyed by parents to the directors by email ahead of time. As we learn new drill and prepare for the upcoming performances, it is extremely vital that every student is present at every rehearsal.
  1. An adjustment to the schedule for Tuesday evenings is in effect starting next week.  All Tuesday rehearsals will be 6-9PM for all students.  This is in effect for various reasons and should also help out with the extreme heat recently.  The band rehearsed on Tuesday evenings for 20+ years until 2 years ago when it was adjusted. Thank you for your understanding and any adjustments that need to be made. Students will now be able to get a breather before rehearsal, do homework, eat dinner and then return for a great evening rehearsal under the lights.
