Information will be presented about the MCHS band program for next year! Mr. Anderson and Ms. Wych will be available to answer questions after the short presentation.
Rehearsals for the Winter Concert are this Sunday, 12/11 and Monday, 12/12.

The Winter Concert is Tuesday, 12/13. Call time is 6:15 pm, with the concert beginning at 7.
MCHS Band Concert Dress Code:
Concert attire is black and white dress clothes. All school dress code rules apply! The dress code can be found on page 37 of the Student Handbook.
Appropriate attire is as follows:
Boys
Black dress pants
Black or white dress shirt
Black socks & dress shoes
Optional: Black or white tie
Girls
Black dress pants with nice black or white top
Black skirt with black tights/leggings and nice black or white top
Black dress with black tights/leggings
Black dress shoes (with black socks or tights)
Girls please note:
Black tights/nylons are required if you are wearing a skirt or dress.
Skirts must be just above the knee or longer - NO shorter! A skirt that only reaches your fingertips is still too short for sitting on a stage in a formal concert setting.
Dresses and tops may be sleeveless (i.e., only open at the shoulder) – spaghetti strap or strapless tops/dresses are not allowed unless you are wearing a sweater over the dress.
If you are unsure if your outfit is appropriate, please see Mr. Anderson or Ms. Wych BEFORE the day of the concert!!
Congratulations to Kayla Bachar, who was selected for the Illinois Music Educator's Association All-State Band! The audition that earned Kayla a spot in the IMEA District 1 Band in November also qualified her for this great honor and opportunity.
Kayla will travel to Peoria in January to spend two days rehearsing with top high school musicians from around the state. The event will conclude with an All-State Band, Orchestra, and Choir concert on Saturday, January 28th.
