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.
