LAX Wrap Up, TRI Itinerary, October Overview

Posted on by

The McGavock HS Marching Band did a great job at Antioch Saturday. They persevered through the torrential downpour halfway through the performance. We requested that the band not be scored against the other band in our class due to the extenuating circumstance and lack of equitable comparison, and the Antioch Band Director agreed. Apparently, there was a miscommunication between him and the press box announcer and our score was announced inadvertently. Needless to say, the students and parents all pushed through and did a wonderful job and we are so proud!

Please find the TRI Itinerary and the October Band Overview on Charms or by clicking those links.  We were able to reserve the MTSU stadium once again this year on Monday, 10/19 for the annual COC dress rehearsal. Please see detailed times on the pdf.

The Contest of Champions will be held in the MTSU stadium in Murfreesboro on Saturday, October 31, 2015. This prestigious competition awards the only sanctioned Tennessee State Marching Band Champion Governor’s Cup Trophy. We need and always have a large cheering section, so plan to come and support your student and the entire Band.

You have the opportunity to purchase reserved seat tickets in advance, so get your order in early so you can be seated in the McGavock Cheering Block section! Tickets will be issued on a first come, first served basis. We will only have a limited number of tickets, so order early. You can always purchase general admission tickets at the gate. **This year there are only group block reserved tickets for full day (prelims/finals).

This is due no later than Thursday, October 1st. The flyer is also available in the Marching Band Forms folder in Charms.
