Hello Band Families,

Thanks to all of you who we met at the Band Camp Pool Party Meet and Greet!  It was so great to meet our new band families!  We are really looking forward to a great year!

The Mayfield Band Boosters proudly supports the band programs in the Mayfield City Schools District.  We do this throughout the year in a number of ways, primarily by operating and running the Concession Stand (both HOME and VISITOR) for every Home Varsity football game.  We also run Concessions for JV and Freshman football games.  Varsity games require at least 40 parent volunteers per game.  We ask our wonderful band families to volunteer for at least 2 different games.  We are most grateful for the support!  If you are a parent volunteer, you will get into the game for FREE.  This is a very active Booster group and we will need your help.

Please follow the links below to sign up for the various Volunteer Opportunities coming up in the next month.  We will continue to communicate additional Volunteer Opportunities throughout the season.  

Our other longtime fundraising opportunity involves the Cleveland National Air Show.  The Band Boosters have volunteered for many years at the Air Show.  It is by invitation only.  We supply 25 volunteers for each of the 3 days of the Air Show, and our organization gets paid about $2200 for doing so.  You do not work the entire time, and are usually working 2-3 hour shifts on a rotation basis.  The Air Show pays for your lunch, and you get to roam around and enjoy the Air Show.  Not a bad deal!  Please consider signing up with your band student.  Students must be 15+ years of age to volunteer.  You must report by 8:00 a.m. on the day you have selected.  We are usually done by 3:30 p.m.  Friends, relatives, neighbors can sign up to help as well!!

Dear PRIDE of Mayfield Band Families,

​ The Mayfield Band Boosters has planned some fun events during Band Camp. This is new for us! 

They are not fundraisers...and not mandatory...just purely a way to get the Band kids and their families together to have some fun.

We have 2 band outings planned for Pride of Mayfield band members:  

• Fun 'n' Stuff  in Macedonia 7/22/21 band members and immediate family
• Atlas Movie night 7/25/21 band members only

We end band camp with a pool party on Friday 7/30/21 where we will have a parent meet and greet with the 2021/22 Band Booster members.   We will have past discounted spirit wear along with brand new spirit wear designs for our 2021/22 upcoming year. Flyers with details are attached, hoping you will join us. 

Online registration ahead of time IS REQUIRED for movie night and Fun-n-Stuff, links are available now! 

Please email Shelly Blanchard, sblanchard19@yahoo.com if you have additional questions.
 
Looking forward to a great year!

Shelly Blanchard
Pride of Mayfield Band Booster President

Wildcat Students & Families,

We are happy to announce our auxiliary tryouts for the 2021/2022 marching season!  Please see the attached PDF below from Coach Becker.

All the best,
Mr. Treiber

Good Afternoon,

Well the news is finally out, and YES WE WILL BE PLAYING A HOME GAME NEXT FRIDAY ON 10/9/2020 AT 7 PM.
We will be playing Akron Kenmore High School, and WHEN we win this game, we will have another playoff game at home versus either Nordonia or Lakeside.  Please read the following below:

Since this OHSAA sponsored, there is no opportunity for senior night.  I sent that in a communication earlier on, but I am attaching once again for you to review.  Also, I will be following the same format as we did last game.  All students will need to be temperature checked before entering their seats.  Students will need to wear khaki pants, band shirts, band shoes, and black socks.  Same as before, and yes they can wear sweatshirts and coats in the stands.  Those of you that have been to playoffs before. know it is a very tedious process, so please be patient.

Ticket information will be handled next week.  Now please understand that the kids do not have school that day, and I am making temperature check/call time 5:45 PM.  I will need everyone to start their temp checks by 5:45 and seated by 6:10 PM.  We will once again do pre-game from the stands and then do our halftime show as normal.  Next week, there is Wednesday night practice at 5:30-7:15 PM.  I need all students there, I know kids have homework, etc, but they are not having sectionals next week, so they have plenty of time to catch up on work.  Students need to be at Wednesday rehearsal or they run the risk of not performing.

I know these times are crazy, but I will communicate with you each day next week because of potential changes.  I cannot express to all of you how proud I am of this group.  I have been given many compliments, and truly those compliments all should go to the staff, parents, and students; they are the ones making this work.  Mark your calender's for 10/9 and 10/16, because it will be an amazing ride, and it is our job to get this team fired up and ready!!!!  

Keep EMBRACING THE CHALLENGE, Mayfield, and always ROCK ON!!!!  Always excited, always jacked up, always awake early, and ALWAYS HUMBLED AND BLESSED TO BE YOUR DIRECTOR!​

Mr. Palermo

Good Morning,

I wanted to inform you of several updates.  The first, and most important is tonight's practice.  I need everyone in your stadium seats by 5:30.  If you are on time, then you are late.  I understand that later today we may be in for some inclement weather.  I will make a decision regarding practice, no later than 4 PM.  I have seen several conflicting forecasts, and I want to make sure I get this correct.  Please come to practice dressed warmly, and with shoe, not slides or sandals.  It will be a bit chilly this evening.

The next bit of information is as follows:

​​*Starting Monday October 5th, 2020 there will be NO MORE INSTRUMENTAL SECTIONALS.  THE ONLY TWO GROUPS WHO WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE SECTIONALS WILL BE THE DRUM LINE AND THE AUXILIARY.​  We will continue to have Wednesday evening rehearsals at 5:30 pm, and it is expected that all be there.  I am pretty confident we will get a home game, so Wednesday practices will continue until we no longer play.

If you have a scheduled sectional this week, it will happen, and this does not go into effect until Monday 10/6/2020.  I am asking that if you have any questions or concerns regarding this decision, to please contact me.  Finally, I should know tomorrow the potential playoff game.  Please stay tuned for that.

Please continue to work hard in school, keep those grades up, and do your best.  I am asking that during your zoom with Mr. Treiber, you spend some time practicing stand tunes.  We need to have them ready for the next game.  As mentioned before, if you have any questions or concerns, I am always available, please feel free to contact me.  EMBRACE THE CHALLENGE AND ROCK ON WILDCATS!!​

​Humbled and Blessed,

Mr. Palermo

Please see the attached band booster membership form.  ALL band families are encouraged to become members of the Band Boosters!!

Good Afternoon,

I am sending this email with a schedule for the rest of this week, and next week's sectional/full rehearsal schedule.  For the rest of this week, there will be no practice this evening, and our next event will be Friday, 9/25/2020, at 3:45.  I need everyone to meet me in the parking lot by the new band room at 3:45 wearing your band shirts, and whatever you want for bottoms and shoes.  We will then proceed to line up for the football team as they enter the bus to take on Chardon.  I would encourage all parents to come and cheer the kids on.  Let's bring some spirit to the school.

As for next week, here is the schedule:

Monday - 9/28/2020 - NO SECTIONALS DUE TO YOM KIPPUR
Tuesday - 9/29/2020 - All Trumpets/Mello's/Trombone/Baritone/Tuba - Sectional from 4:00 - 5:30 pm

Thursday - 10/1/2020 - Clarinet/Saxophone Sectionals - 4:30 - 6:00 PM
Thursday - 10/1/2020 - Percussion Sectionals - 5:00 - 6:30 PM

​​Auxiliary Practice is Wednesday at 4:30 and Thursday from 4:00 to 5:30 PM

​Please understand I will be monitoring the weather each and every day, and by 2:45 you will know if a sectional is cancelled.  Also, please continue to wear masks, and face shields.  Always social distance, and as soon as I know about a playoff game I will be in touch.  Please try to get as much of this information in your calendars as possible.  A reminder that all senior surveys are due back to me by tomorrow.  If you need another form, please let me know.  

As always, I appreciate all you are doing, and I thank you for continuing to make music education a priority in your kids’ lives.  Have a great rest of your day, and continue to EMBRACE THE CHALLENGE.  ​Yes, to those who asked, there are more motivational videos and rocky clips coming.  ROCK ON WILDCATS!!
