MPS Family,

I'm happy to report that the MHS Trojan Marching Band received a "Straight Ones" division rating at MSBOA Marching Band Festival this past Monday. This means that all three judges gave us no lower than an A- rating in any given adjudication category. Our students impressed some tough critics and left it all on the field at Flat Rock HS, giving the best performance I have seen yet. They continue to impress me daily with their social, emotional, and musical growth. Thank you to everyone at MPS who has taught, mentored, transported, and cleaned up after these kids, K-12, as they learn and grow. Your investment is their success: without it, this accomplishment would not be possible!

Our band and football team also received some positive press from local columnist Tom Treece in the Monroe News last week I have attached pictures of both MSBOA and from the news article (http://www.monroenews.com/news/20181009/tom-treece-monroe-high-school-trojan-game-refreshing). Keep up with students in the Monroe Band Program, and see our performance schedule with the link to our band website, found in my signature, and by following the Monroe Instrumental Music Boosters on Facebook!

Respectfully,

Joey Swinkey
