McLouth Happenings

MHS alumni welcome to play in band

McLouth High School alumni band members can play in the pep band for a final time this season Feb. 17. E-mail bubbj@mclouth.org with your name and Instrument to ensure there is enough sheet music for everyone. It’s a great way to support the school. This will be a fun time to get your instrument out again and play with the McLouth High School Band students. If it has been awhile, you should still come. The current McLouth High School band members will be there to cover all of the parts, so no need to worry. Members meet in the band room at 5:30 p.m.

We look forward to celebrating our 50th anniversary in May, and are making plans for our reunion and attendance at the MHS Alumni Banquet.
