Countdown to Fall!



I hope you are all enjoying your summer! Please review your summer packet and calendar to make sure you are prepared! We are closing in on Band Camp so I wanted to remind you of a few items and upcoming dates:


  • Band Camp is August 3 - 7 from 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM each day. Band Camp is Mandatory! Remember, we will be learning Pre-Game and our first halftime show at camp! You will have an hour for lunch from Noon - 1:00 PM each day. Don’t forget SUNSCREEN!!!
  • Scrip Fundraiser orders are also due this week! Make sure your order is in Ms. Holtshouse or Ms. Zunic’s mailbox by Friday, July 31. We will be back on track with SCRIP orders being turned in each month on the 1st and 15th.
  • Have you completed your trip payment information and sent it in to the tour company? This enrollment paperwork was sent home in the summer mailing. (You can also find it on the Members Only page of the website.)
  • As Band Camp approaches, check your instrument and make sure it is working order! You still have time to take it to the shop for repair before camp! You should also start looking at the music for the Swing Show - Jump, Jive, and Wail, In the Mood, and Big Noise from Winnetka. This will be our first show and you can help us by learning the music BEFORE you come to camp!
  • Check the blog/website often from now on - there will be frequent updates! We’re looking forward to a great year!!!
