FMBC (Florida Marching Band Championships) is November 17th! Pre-order your discounted FMBC combo ticket now! If you wait to purchase tickets at the gate, you pay $4 more.
Combo tickets are $35-the combo ticket gets you into the semi-final performance and into the finals. This year the semi-finals and finals are both in the same location, at Tropicana Field. You must have a combo ticket to attend both.
Tickets are non-refundable.
Deadline to order is October 13-that's next Saturday! Order form and payment must be turned in by this date, no exceptions. You can drop in the blue box or deliver to Trina Weatherly after practice on Tuesday or Thursday night.
Tickets will be mailed to us at school and distributed prior to the event.
***You will see on the order form that you have an option to pre-order t-shirts at a discount, as well as discounted tickets for Busch Gardens and Universal. You may order these items but they will not be delivered to us at school-they will be picked up at the Trop on Nov 17th and then will be distributed at school the next week.***

Forms for the second order will be due Friday, October 26th (they should be here in time for FMBC). We will place a third order before the Holidays if there is interest (date will be set later).

As competition season kicks off this month, we need volunteers to continue to help with water duty/rehearsal chaperone shifts. It’s still quite hot outside, and we still have several kids who need extra help to tolerate it. Often there are more kids who need extra care than we have volunteers available to help them. We need to fill these shifts in order to help support the kids and instructors. Please, please, PLEASE sign up and help us help them.
Most shifts will be Tuesday 5-7pm or 7-8:30pm, Thursday 5-7pm or 7-9pm, and a few Saturdays 8:30-10:30am or 10:30-12:30pm. There is at least one Thursday that has earlier times of 2-4pm & 4-6pm due to JV football at home that evening.
