Colorguard should have their uniforms on Monday if not before then. I spoke to Mrs. Sargent today and she is working as hard as she can to get them done for this Friday. Thank you for your patience with this as these uniforms are very intricate in their design and thus take time to make. Also,they are customized for Milton High School, so there are no in-stock uniforms anywhere with this design.
We are needing to take our group and section pictures to send off to the 2 other marching band competitions for their programs. We will have pictures taken during our Monday rehearsal next Monday, September 30th. Students will need to bring their full uniform minus helmets to school and change into these immediatley after school. We will need to be ready to set up in the band room by 4:15, then transition with instrumnents to the stadium after that. this is required by all marching band students as this is the only time we will take these pictures for the marching band.
