Hello Band Parents and Students
I hope this email finds you well as we are fast approaching the beginning of band camp. There has been a lot activity happening here in the band room with sectionals and practicing and I know everyone is working hard to make this coming marching band season a huge success! Some quick reminders about our upcoming music, rookie, and band camps are listed below. I am very excited for this year and know that it will be a great success!
· Music mini-camp 12-4pm July 29-31 (Wednesday-Friday) **All Marching Band Students***
· This will be held here in the band room. Please arrive early as we will have a packet for students. Music camp will be used to work on music for the show so please come prepared to rehearse.
· Items needed:
· Instrument
· Pencil to mark your music
· Water
· A positive attitude to become better!
· Rookie Camp 6-8 pm July 29-31 (Wednesday-Friday) *** All new marching band members, percussion, colorguard, and leadership***
· If you are attending Rookie Camp, DINNER WILL BE ON YOUR OWN. I would prefer if you brought your dinner to the school so that you would not have to go off campus between music and rookie camp. This camp will teach you the FUNdamentals of marching basics and get you prepared for band camp.
· Items needed:
· Wear comfortable clothing, athletic shoes, etc – we will be marching outside so be prepared!
· Water!! It may still be hot when we go outside so bring a water bottle that you can fill up
· A positive attitude to become better!
· Band Camp begins promptly at 8am in the band room Monday August 3. A detailed Schedule is attached along with items needed to bring to band camp
· What to bring:
· BRING YOUR INSTRUMENT AND YOUR MUSIC!!!!!
· make sure you have everything you need (neck strap, valve oil, extra reeds)
· Wear rehearsal clothing: light-colored T-shirts (no black please), gym shorts (jean shorts can become uncomfortable and gym shoes.
· On Wednesday we will be having a pool night so you will need a bathing suit (if you want to swim) and a towel
· WEAR SUN SCREEN
· a hat with a brim and sun glasses are a good idea
· (optional) bug spray
· -WATER BOTTLE!!!!! Not an option!! Possibly the most important item you can bring! Must be at least 1 liter. Again, you can find them in the outdoor sections of Meijer, Wal-mart, Walgreens, or some grocery stores. Pease mark your water bottle with permanent marker. Many water bottles look similar.
· Bring a few pencils. No pens. Mechanical pencils are preferable as they have the clip.
Personal Items Disclaimer
Bring cell phones, ipods, portable cd players, portable video game systems and other personal items at your own risk. No one on staff or at the camp is responsible for lost or stolen items. During rehearsal hours there will be no one watching the band room.
· During band camp we will have our first performance at the Mt Healthy City Park for the National Night Out. This community event will be our first performance and show our community how great our students are! Please come out and support the marching band at this event.
· We are looking for volunteers to help out with band camp and this season. If you would like to help out forANY amount of time, please contact me. We would love to have you be a part of this program and any time volunteered will be greatly appreciated. We are also in need of parents to help out at home and away games so please see if you are available.
· There has been a change on the schedule; the home football game vs Glen Este scheduled on September 11 has been MOVED to Thursday September 10. This game will be televised, please update your calendars since this will be a school night.
· All of this could not be possible without the help of parent volunteers and our band booster program. If you would like to join our band boosters, please contact me.
