Muskegon Invitational Cancelled Due to Projected Inclement Weather – HS

Muskegon Invitational Cancelled Due to Projected Inclement Weather

We have some disappointing news to share this morning. The Muskegon Marching Invitational was canceled this morning due to the projected weather forecast. We have spent a lot of time with the director from Muskegon this morning weighing the pros and cons. Here are the factors that went into the decision.

Safety – If we attended the festival and thunderstorms rolled in, we would not have an immediate place for shelter. With construction around Muskegon High School the busses would be out of reach.

Covid Protocol – In the event of thunderstorms, we would not be able to transition inside. Musekgon requires everyone to be masked and we do not currently have the correct PPE for instruments belll covers and playing masks that we would need.

Bussing and Clinicians – With any cancellation we need to give the bus garage notice so they can contact the drivers and change plans. Muskegon also had clinicians set to drive in today and they need time to adjust their schedule as well.

While we are disappointed we can not perform today, we are looking forward to our auditorium show next week and celebrating the fantastic work our students have displayed this year!
