STATE MPA REHEARSAL SCHEDULE - 2017
Hello PRIDE! Welcome back to school! We hope everyone enjoyed the break. The spring semester is always an exciting time of year full of chances for improvement. Our program will kick off the New Year as we always do with preparations for MPA (State Music Performance Assessment). MPA is the most important performance of our year and requires commitment and dedication of every member. Parents, your help is needed to encourage your child to stay on top of their practice at home as well as their school work. This is an excellent time to practice good time-management skills for life after high school. Every member is expected to practice daily between now and MPA. (Not for hours on end; but a little bit every day) Please review the scheduling information below and be sure to work out any conflicts as soon as possible.

For $20, participants receive admission to the game, lunch, and instruction from JSU’s top-notch corps of section leaders who will help prepare students to join the Marching Southerners on the field for performance! Participants will also get to sit in the stands next to the Southerners and help them cheer on the Gamecocks as they go head-to-head against Tennessee State University! Not an instrumentalist? That’s fine! You can still be a part of Band Day! Color guard members will receive instruction from some of the Southerners Color Guard's top members. Guard members are asked to only bring a flag.
