MCHS Marching Band Heads to Walt Disney World: Join Them in Celebrating and Supporting
Exciting news for the MCHS Marching Band! They have been selected to perform in a parade at the iconic Walt Disney World this June, marking a significant achievement for the talented group. This opportunity is not just a recognition of their hard work and dedication, but also a chance for them to showcase their skills on a grand stage.
In order to make this dream a reality, the band is actively raising funds to help offset the costs for each student. Your support can make a big difference! This Thursday night, as we cheer on our MCHS Football team at the home game, you can help the band by visiting their concession stand.
The band will be selling raffle tickets for a chance to win half of a processed hog and a chest freezer, alongside a delightful selection of baked goods for purchase. Don’t miss out on the chance to grab some sweet treats while supporting this talented group of musicians.
In addition to the raffle and baked goods, the concession stand will feature delicious BBQ Baked Potatoes, and for those looking to warm up, there will be Hot Chocolate and Hot Cider available while supplies last.
We invite everyone to come out for a fantastic night of football, delicious food, and community spirit. Join us in supporting your MCHS Marching Band and help them reach their goal of performing at Disney World. Let’s make this a night to remember!
