This Monday, May 20, from 5pm-8pm, is THS B and Night at Buck’s Pizza in Alabaster. Buck’s will generously donate a portion of the proceeds to the MSS uniform fund. So come out to Buck’s Pizza, get a great meal and support the band. Thank you so much, Buck’s Pizza!
The annual Alabaster City Fest is coming up June 1, and as always, we need all of our band students to volunteer to help with the Kid Zone inflatables. We are asking you to volunteer to work 4-hour shifts beginning that morning and ending about the time the main concerts begin around dark.
We really, really need you. We also need parents to volunteer to work in the concession trailers and as extra helpers in the inflatables area.
To volunteer contact Jennifer Darby for more information: jendarby4@gmail.com

We are wrapping up the Suit Up the Southern Sounds campaign. As you may know, our current uniforms were originally designed and purchased before our current band students were even born. It’s time that our excellent band had an excellent uniform.
Our fund raising has gone fairly well (check the thermometer on the sidebar for the latest numbers) and we greatly appreciate the outpouring of support from Alabaster’s businesses and community.
We aren’t done. If you haven’t given, please consider doing so. If you have already given, think about giving a little more.
Ready to donate? Contact Kelly Drake (kelly.cannon.drake@gmail.com) or Jon Bubbett (mailto:jbubbett@shelbyed.k12.al.us). We’ll tell you how to make your tax-deductible contribution.
Congratulations to the Thompson High School Jazz Ensemble and Combo for making straight Superior ratings at the Loyola University Jazz Festival in New Orleans, LA!
The following businesses have made contributions to our band program. Please support them in return…
If you would like to see our past performances (marching, concert, symphonic, wind ensemble, jazz band, traveling performances, and a parade or two) visit Cecil Bunn’s Vimeo page (http://vimeo.com/user4589669). Many are in high definition and Cecil uses excellent sound equipment. Thank you so much, Cecil, for your hard work.
