Please keep in mind that we rehearse on a black top field! You need to:
- Eat breakfast before you come to camp!
- Arrive so that you are on the field ready to go at 8:00 AM (Monday we will start in the auditorium at 8:00 AM)
- Bring and apply sunscreen generously and often!
- Wear light colored clothing and shorts! (Dark colors will attract the sun).
- Wear a hat and sunglasses for outdoor rehearsals
- Bring water labeled with your name. (We will have coolers available for you to refill)
- Wear tennis shoes - low cut tennis shoes that tie (no slip-ons, loose fitting, or skateboard shoes)
- Rookies do not need to bring instruments to Rookie Day on Friday.
Please remember - if you need to miss rehearsal for any reason you need to fill out an excused absence form and turn it in to the directors. You can find this form under "forms" on midparkband.com
Uniform Fittings:
Here is a quick reminder of uniform fitting schedule. Please bring your completed uniform accessories form along with payment to band camp on Monday (or you can bring it with you the night of your fitting). If you are having financial difficulties and cannot pay in full next week, please contact the directors to set up a payment plan.
Monday: Freshmen
Tuesday: Upperclassmen Last names A-J
Wednesday: Upperclassmen Last names K-O
Thursday: Upperclassmen Last names P - Z
We could still use more parent volunteers for uniform fittings - if you are available and willing to help, please email Ms. Holtshouse. We also still have a few snack spots to fill if you are able to help with those!
Friday of next week will be "Meet the Band" night at 6:00 PM. Bring your lawn chairs and enjoy a performance with everything we've learned at camp this year! Dinner will be provided for the band before the performance. Students should bring their band shirts to change into for the performance.
We'll see you all soon! Looking forward to a great season!!
