Welcome to This Week In Marching Band
Midland Park High School Marching Band is comprised of students in grades 7-12. The band rehearses exclusively after school.
The rain, the rain, the rain! We have some insurance this week with an indoor rehearsal planned at the Dome in Waldwick. As for performances, we are headed to Wayne Hills on Saturday and Saugerties HS (the Kingston Show) on Sunday. Both shows have indoor options if the weather doesn't cooperate.As we continue through the rest of the season, things seem to contnue to move faster and faster. Please do what you can to plan ahead for all the events to come.
A shout out the the crew this weekend that is going to be working overtime to get us everywhere we need to be on Saturday and Sunday. They were amazing in the rain last week!
Medical Forms with Original Doctor's Signatures should already be at the nurse Here is the info. Payments for Band Camp, Syracuse, and MIP Ads should have been submitted. Parent shirts were sent home. Jackets should be in any day now for the new members. Syracuse plans are in the final stages.
