Hello everyone!
I hope you're having a great summer! I'm back at school prepping for band camp and the new school year! We're looking forward to a great season and are looking forward to seeing you all soon!
A couple of reminders as camp approaches:
Please bring your emergency medical card with you on the first day of camp. (It was included in your summer mailing.) Make sure you eat breakfast each day before you come to camp and drink lots of water! Sunscreen is crucial as we practice on blacktop -bring a hat and sunglasses to protect yourself from the sun.
We need parent volunteers to bring in Band Camp snacks - if you are willing to provided 110 snacks please email Ms. Holtshouse and let me know if there is a particular day you would like to provide snacks. We try to provide a small snack two times a day. These could be popsicles, cheese and crackers, chips, cookies, etc. Morning snack is at 10:15 and afternoon snack is at 3:00 PM. Snacks can be dropped off at the beginning of the day.
The website will be updated regularly now so please check for updates on the blog and on the calendar. Please remember that the hard copy calendar may have changes throughout the year - the online calendar is the most accurate calendar!
Officer Work Day is Thursday, July 29 from 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM
Rookie camp is Friday, July 30 from 12:00 - 3:00 PM (You do not need instruments this day)
