Time To Sign Up!

Hey folks - it's time to make your intentions known! Your Fall MB design staff will be meeting this Wednesday to work on plans for the upcoming season, so we need YOU to add your name to the MB Signup Sheets in the Band Room! We have some really excited incoming freshmen, and even a couple of 8th graders who will be joining us, so make sure YOUR name is on the list! (And if you have musical friends you can persuade to join, please do so!)

The sooner we know what our numbers are, the sooner we can get things together for you!
