Band Parents General Meeting for July

Dear Parents:

The Board of Education is re-flooring the band room and auditorium.  As a result, we cannot have a band parents meeting in July.  Below, please find reports from all committee members for your review, as well as the forms we need completed for the coming year.

The forms are due back to a MEMBER OF THE BAND PARENTS BOARD by August 16. I have some forms from some students but I need all of the forms for everyone – so please look through the attachments and complete the ones you did not do. Uniform forms (found on the website) for all incoming freshmen are due ASAP. Assessments are due according to the schedule on the attached report.

It is imperative that we have contact information (phone numbers and email addresses) for you and your child. Please also contact us with any changes as they arise.  Times and details of band events can change at moment's notice and we need to be able to communicate with everyone.

If your child wants to be in both the band and the ROTC programs, guidance can help them do both.  Please contact the guidance department.

As usual, we are happy to answer any questions you have at any time and welcome any and all help and suggestions. The August - November band season is exciting and busy. Come and get involved and enjoy this wonderful band with your child!

Christine and Suzanne

Band Camp:

After a summer of evening rehearsals, the band season gets into full swing with the start of band camp. During band camp, drill is set and memorized and practiced over and over until the show runs smoothly, then it is practiced some more! Although camp is a lot of work, the students all look forward to it every year and have a great time.

Band Camp Schedule:
Monday, August 16th – Thursday, August 19th
8:00AM –4:00PM

Monday, August 23rd – Wednesday, August 25th
8:00AM –4:00PM

Helpful Hints:

  • Wear socks & sneakers (to avoid blisters). You might want to bring a second pair of socks & sneakers in case the first gets wet. No Flip-Flops allowed.
  • SHOES & SHIRTS MUST BE WORN AT ALL TIMES!!!
  • Wear a hat, sunglasses & lots of SUNSCREEN!!!
  • Girls – avoid white shirts which become see-through when wet
  • Bug spray is recommended.
  • Bring more water than you think you’ll drink – it gets very hot out on the practice field! Most students bring coolers & thermoses.
  • Bring your lunch & snacks (fruit’s the best)– there will be several breaks during the day and you’ll want to eat. Students will not be allowed to leave school property (even if you drive) to go to WaWa or AllStar Bagels.
  • A camp chair or towel to relax on during breaks is suggested.
  • Have your instrument ALL READY TO GO! Extra reeds/oils etc. you may need.
  • Be ready to start at 8:00AM (arrive 7:45AM).
  • Bring Little Pad notebook to write DRILL SPOTS as well as pencils to write with.
  • Bring RAG to wipe off your instruments after you sweat all over them
  • Bring in your music (if you need to)
  • Bring in your BEST ATTITUDE !!!

  • Our Honor Guard for this years marching band show will be using a flag that was part of Iraqi freedom!
