Pre MPA Concert and MPA

Our Pre-MPA concert will be this Thursday, February 18 at 6:30pm in the auditorium at GHS. Call time for the students will be 6:00pm. The high school band will be the only group playing because of the fire in Bragg's band room. We should finish before 7:00pm. The time was adjusted so that the boys who play soccer will be able to play at the concert and in their home game at 7:00 that evening.

I have received the MPA schedule. We will be playing on Wednesday, March 16 at 12:15 at Homewood High School. We will leave school that morning and eat lunch at the Brookwood Mall before we go to play.

Christmas Parade and Christmas Concert

Parade Information
The Gardendale Christmas Parade will be this Thursday, December 3 at 6:00 p.m. The students should be at the band room at 5:00 p.m. to get uniforms on and get their instruments. We will move to line up outside the band room by 5:15 and then proceed up the street past the middle and elementary schools as instructed by the parade officials to the start of the parade route. We should be finished with the parade between 6:45 and 7:00 p.m. Please plan ahead with your child to have a meeting place to get them after the parade. We will be near the front of the parade so the parade will continue for a while after we finish.

Gardendale at Walker

Call time for Friday's game at Walker High School will be 4:30pm. Students should eat dinner before they come to the band room. Students should plan to wear thin layers of clothing underneath their uniform for warmth. They will not be able to wear coats over their uniforms or be underneath blankets in the stands. We want to maintain a uniform appearance and be able to play during the game. We should be back to Gardendale around 10:30-10:45pm. Please be here to pick your child up at that time or have them call you before we get back to the school so you will know when to get them. We cannot leave a child here unattended. We have had to wait over an hour for students to be picked up after games on a couple of different occasions lately. I always try to be as close as possible when giving arrival times. Please have your phone nearby to answer when your child calls so you can come and get them.

Gardendale vs. Hartselle

The playoff game this week has been moved to Thursday night at 7:00pm because of the strong possibility of rain and possible storms Friday night. Call time will still be 5:30 as it typically is for home games.
