THANK YOU!

The board would like to thank everyone who came out to celebrate and give well deserved recognition to all of the 2021 William Mason Band students.  We are so incredibly proud of every single member who poured their heart and soul into this season.  Special thanks to the directors for investing their time and energy into giving our kids the experience of a lifetime.  We are also incredibly thankful for all the parents, siblings, grandparents, and extended family who have supported the program in multiple ways.  We appreciate the school administration, teachers, facility managers, tech support, janitors, sponsors, volunteers, and many others we may have failed to mention without whom we could not have managed to have pulled off such a successful year.  We are looking forward to an amazing concert band season and are ready to start planning for next year’s marching band.  To all of the Seniors, marching band may be over, but you will always have a home with your marching band family.

END OF THE SEASON VIDEO

Prior to the start of the Awards Ceremony we shared a superb end of the year video made by the incomparable Jim Vennemeyer.  Thanks to Mr. Vennemeyer's efforts, we are now all able to enjoy this fantastic tribute to the season once again.  You can watch the video at the following link. 2021 William Mason High School Marching Band  We are so grateful to have the fun memories of our season documented in this way.  Thanks again Mr. Vennemeyer! 

SECTION/PANO PHOTO PICKUP

For those who ordered section photos, If you did not already pick up your section photo, it will be available for pickup on Tuesday night at MHS after Concert Green/Silver/White Concerts and before/after the Concert Winds/Wind Symphony Concert. We will coordinate a pick up for Winter Guard students soon. Please contact photo@masonbandboosters.com if you have questions.

More information will be shared in next week’s Band Notes. If you would prefer to pick up your book directly, please email VP-Marketing@masonbandboosters.com.
