pandemic update 7/14/2020

​Maroon Band students, families and supporters-

Due to the current status of COVID-19 in Kentucky and Hopkins Co. we are going to cancel our July 2020 band camp dates, scheduled for July 20-31, 2020.
We hope to have some summer "camp days,” tentatively scheduled to begin Monday Aug 3.

These August camp days are not set in stone. If we do not have the clearance of the local health dept. and school board we can not proceed.
other updates we can share-

1. Hop. Co health dept. and Hop. Co school board hope to pass a return to band guidance document the night of Mon. July 20th. Once this document passes we can share it with you.
2. KMEA marching band committee will vote on Wed July 15 to suspend or proceed with KMEA quarterfinal competition (Oct 24th) and KMEA semifinal competition (Oct 31st). Other KMEA “regular season” competitions will be allowed to proceed, but bands must be given clearance by their school systems to travel.
3. MNHHS band and color guard directors are still deliberating the pro’s and con’s of a competitive marching band season for Fall 2020.
4. MNHHS band and color guard directors are committed to providing the best band experience (exploring all options) possible while working within the guidelines of the Hopkins Co. Dept. of Health, Hopkins Co. School Board and Officials, and KMEA.

We will continue to monitor the situation and pass along any/all info and dates as we can. If you have further questions do not hesitate to reach out.
