Hello MTA Family. Here are the latest updates:
ALUMNI BAND
You can still sign up to march for homecoming or volunteer to help. Inbox me (Audrey) on FB or send an email to jhsbandalum@yahoo.com.
Marching Tiger Band Camp is the last week in July, first week in August. I'm working to have Alumni Band Camp coincide with Marching Tiger Band Camp. An alumni rehearsal schedule will also be made for the fall, leading to homecoming.
You will be responsible for your own instruments, maces, batons, and poles. We will not use any of the current band students' equipment.
I'm also verifying if we will be able to march pre-game, halftime, and parade. For pre-game and halftime, we will fall into the ranks and march back to our seats with the band when they are finished with their pre-game and halftime shows. For the parade: If we have enough people to march in our own band, we will. If not, I will see if we can march with the band.
Thank you to Kristina White, Stacey Ali, Lakendra Jackson, James Newton, Taron Foy, and Vannice Pickett who volunteered to help with coordinating the alumni band this year. These will be the people you can contact about marching, etc...once we get everything in place.
Please pass this information on to any alumni who is interested in marching this year.
MARCHING TIGER SUPPORT
We will be working throughout the year to help Mr. Redding, his staff, and the Marching Tigers. This is the primary purpose of MTA, to give back. I don't have a full calendar for the year but I will be updating you on events when our help is needed.
MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE
A membership committee has been formed. It will be headed by Kristina White and Dwayne "3D" Dickens. Kristina and 3D will be accepting information and dues for anyone interested in becoming a member of MTA.
DUES
I will be making an announcement about dues, how much they will be, etc...soon.
HOMECOMING
Homecoming is Friday, October 11, 2013
Events being planned: Meet & Greet and Tailgate. I'm considering adding one more event to our week's festivities.
If you would like to help with homecoming, please contact me (Audrey) on FB or jhsbandalum@yahoo.com. I will be over the Meet & Greet and will need help with the tailgate.
That's all for now. Looking forward to making MTA bigger and better, and to another great homecoming.
In Marching Tiger Spirit,
Audrey
