Did you pick up your Enjoy the City Book last night at rehearsal? They will be available for pick up again on Wednesday evening. Remember, you will receive one book now and take orders for additional books. You will only return the single book if you do not sell any books. Each book sold will give students $5.00 in their student accounts. The remainder of the profits will go directly to the band to help cover expenses.
Other reminders:
Percussion Drum Cleaning Day on Saturday has been canceled.
Color Guard Members who have paid for their practice flag may pick them up before or after rehearsal Wednesday night. (Please plan on arriving by 5:30 if you would like to pick it up before rehearsal.
Our first Wing Night of the year will be held Saturday, September 12 from 6:00 - 9:00 PM at the Front Row Bar and Grill on Snow Road. Tickets are $20.oo and can be purchased from the Rensels, the Leibolds, or in the band office.
Keep working on memorization! Remember that the Pre-Game music needs to be passed off this week and half-time needs to be passed off next week! We've finished the show, now it's time to clean things up so we can have a great first performance next week!!

We're Back!
We're back online! We apologize or the few days that the website was down - but now we're back and can keep you updated!
Thanks for a great week at band camp! We had great weather, and you all worked so hard and we saw great results because of it. Rehearsals continued to go well this week and we should have our first show learned by Monday! Great work!
A special thanks to Mrs. Guinn for setting up our bowling event this week! Everyone who attended had a great time and we raised $850.00 for the band!!
A few reminders about upcoming events:
Monday, August 17 - Percussion Sectionals 2:00 - 5:00 PM, Full Band Rehearsal 6:00-8:30 PM.
Also, make sure your second payment for Disney has been sent - remember that you should have sent the registration form and your payment directly to the tour company. (These forms were included in the summer mailing, or you can find them online under members only.)
Wednesday, August 19-Full Band 6:00 - 8:30 PM. We will be playing at Meet the Meteors during rehearsal - band members who play sports should plan on attending the first hour of rehearsal, play with us t the beginning of Meet the Meteors and then stay with your team. (This rehearsal will be on the grass field behind the building.)
Saturday, August 22 - Drum Cleaning Day @ Midpark -10:00 AM All Percussion members are required to attend.
Pass-Offs start next week! The week of August 17 will be Pre-Game (Into the Future, Alma Mater, Star Spangled Banner, Fight Song). Week of August 24 - Midpark Swings! (Big Noise, Jump, Live, and Wail, and In The Mood). Band Members who are conducting pass-offs, please arrange a time each week that you will be listening to pass-offs.
Do you have a place to keep your drill books? A large folder or three ring binder is a great way to keep all your charts in one place so that they are easy to find. Remember, you will need these charts all season and you are responsible for having them with you at every rehearsal!
Parents, don't forget to turn in the Booster Patron and Volunteer Information Forms that were included in the summer mailing (these can also be found under forms on the website). Let us know where your talents are and where you are willing to help!

Band Camp Reminders
A few things to remember as we start camp this week!
- Eat Breakfast before coming to camp each day!
- Apply sunscreen each day before you arrive and bring more to reapply throughout the day!
- Bring a water bottle with your name on it to refill throughout the day.
- You may want to bring a snack each day - at this point we only have a few snacks provided throughout the week. (parents, if you are willing to provide a snack for the band, please email Ms. Holtshouse your availability.)
- We still need parents to help with uniform fitting Monday - Thursday evenings after camp. If you are available and willing to help, please plan on arriving at Midpark at 4:45 PM for assignments. (Please note, you do not need to be able to sew to help!)
- We will need parent volunteers to hem pants after they are pined.
- Please be patient on uniform fitting evenings! Remember that the parents helping out are volunteers! All uniform fees should be turned in by the uniform fitting evening. If you have some financial issues that prevent you from paying in full, please notify Ms. Holtshouse and we will work out a payment plan for you.
- New members: There is a parent meeting Monday evening at 6:00 PM in the auditorium for all new member parents.
- Meet the Band! will be held Friday evening, August 7 at 6:00 PM. Bring your family and friends, your lawn chairs, and see everything we've learned at camp! Students will be provided with dinner before the performance and should wear dark shorts and their band shirt for the performance.
