Hi everyone! I hope you're all doing well and dealing with the heat this week! We're hoping that the heat wave will be over before we start camp next week, but here are a few reminders for camp:
We still need snacks for most days - students, I would plan on bringing a snack or two with you each day in case we don't get snacks provided each day.
Bring a water bottle with your name clearly marked on it. We will have water jugs to refill your bottle but will not be provided water bottles each day.
Wear light colored clothing and wear sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses to keep the sun off of you as much as possible! We spend a lot of time outside and our practice field is black top, so it is VERY IMPORTANT that you wear sunscreen! Be prepared for rain as well - if it is not lightning we may still be outside marching!
Tennis shoes are required for all marching band rehearsals. Tennis shoes must tie and skater shoes are not acceptable!
Every band member will need a lyre for rehearsal every day. (Percussion will have their binders). Bring your lyre on the first day of band camp along with your instrument and all music sent in the summer packet - don't forget to bring your emergency medical card, too! We will have lyres for sale on the first day of camp for those that need them.
Parents, please email Mrs. Patriok if you can help wash raincoats, help with uniform fittings, or bring snacks to band camp - (most days are available!)
This Week: Officers meet Thursday from 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM to prepare band camp packets and the music wing. Rookie Day is Friday from Noon - 3:00 PM. Officers and section leaders should plan on attending.
Rookie band members do not need to bring their instrument on Friday but should bring a water bottle and wear sunscreen! It will still be very hot on Friday so we will take a lot of breaks from the outside heat!
