The MCHS Grizzly Band and Color Guard left before dawn Monday, December 5, 2016 to travel to Hawaii to play on the USS Missouri for the 75th anniversary of Pearl Harbor. In addition to performing with other musicians from around the country as well as from Japan, students will take part in week-long educational activities. What a week full of music and history they are going to have! At the December 1 band concert at Fiester Auditorium, MCHS Academic Boosters Club Board Chair Jill Harry was pleased to present Grizzly Band Boosters Vice President Kristina Rylands a check for $500 to put towards remaining expenses for this trip. Go, Grizzlies!
