Thanks everyone for a great first two days of band camp! We'll start our first football show tomorrow! Let's keep up the hard work so we can have a great Meet the Band show on Friday! Reminder that we now have food covered for lunch for the rest of the week! Plan on staying through for lunch every day - remember to bring your band shirt and dark shorts for our Meet the Band performance at 6:00 PM on Friday.

Band Camp next week!
It's hard to believe it's time to come back to band camp! Don't forget coming up this week we have officer work day on Thursday at 10:00 AM (Percussion will have rehearsal so officers that are percussion should just check in after rehearsal!) Friday is Rookie Camp from noon to 3:00 PM. Freshman band members do not need to bring instruments on Friday - wear shorts, tennis shoes that are tied and bring a water bottle with your name on it and sunscreen! Hats and sunglasses are also recommended. We will be learning basic marching fundamentals and learning how to read drill charts as well as getting to know some of the upperclassmen and officers.
Full band begins Monday at 8:00 AM. We will meet in the auditorium Monday morning and start outside shortly after 8:00 AM. Everyone should have received a postcard reminder this week with instructions on what to bring! Make sure you have all your music from the summer mailing as well as your completed emergency medical card! It is important that you eat breakfast before camp each day! We will be providing snacks and lunch so plan on staying through the entire day - 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM.
Uniform fittings will be on the week of band camp. Parents please come with your checkbook and uniform accessory forms with your child. We will go through the form with you to keep costs to a minimum. All freshmen will be fit Monday after camp at 5:00 PM and there will be an important meeting at 6:00 PM for all new member parents. We will give you additional information on the program, schedules, and answer any questions you may have at this time.
Meet the Band will be Friday evening at 6:00 PM to close band camp! Bring your lawn chairs and enjoy the first performance of the 2012 Midaprk Meteor Marching Band! Students will be given dinner in between camp and the Meet the Band Performance. Uniforms for the Meet the Band performance will be the same as summer parades - band shirt, dark shorts, white or black tennis shoes.
Check back often for updates here and on the online band calendar! Let's have a fantastic year!!
