Hello Milwee Band Family!
3 Important Updates this week!
Summer Band Camp dates have finally been confirmed by Lake Mary HS! The dates for the camp is June 1st thru 11th, running 2 weeks, Monday thru Thursday.
The camp website is NOT up to date at the moment, but will be updated next week (the band director at Markham Woods is in charge of the website). Registration will open in the coming weeks and I will send an email out letting you know when online registration is open.

When the website is updated (again, sorry for the delay!), all Students getting this email should sign up for “ADVANCED CAMP” (not beginning!) and may also sign up to add on Jazz band or a beginning band for a secondary instrument. Please see the website for specific times and more information.

School owned instruments: The School District will be conducting our inventory check on Thursday/Friday, February 27th and 28th.
This means that ALL school owned instruments MUST be returned to Milwee on either Monday, February 24th or Tuesday, February 25th to be checked off the school districts list and may be picked up at the end of the school day on Friday the 28th.
I’ll resend this information out the week before, but here’s the gist of how inventory will work (SCHOOL OWNED instruments only! No Music Shack instruments needed for inventory)
I will be available to check in your school owned instrument from 8:45am until 4:30pm, daily that week. If you can drop off your instrument in that time frame, there is no need to make specific arrangements.
I am also happy to get to school early/stay later by appointment, so please simply email me to make arrangements that will meet your schedule. No big deal at all! The most important thing is to get these instruments back!
Thank you for your cooperation with this! With enough notice, please make sure you have your arrangements to complete this task.

I’ve been receiving a few questions/emails concerning the dates for our Spring Concert. Unfortunately, we are at the whim on both the new Florida Testing Schedule and Lyman High School’s Auditorium. Lyman’s scheduling department has rejected the dates in April I have sent requesting use of their auditorium; thank you for your patience as we try to navigate these challenges. I’ve sent new date requests for May, but this is pending approval from our testing coordinators at our school as traditionally we have not had our spring concert during testing days.
As of right now, the date for the spring concert will the week of May 11th, with the preferred date being Thursday May 14th since Make-Up testing is usually on Fridays. This is the best solution so far, and I appreciate your support and patience with this still being slightly up in the air.

That’s it for this weeks update. Thank you for all of your time and support in music.
