Congratulations on a successful Half Day Band Camp! Continue to get plenty of rest, hydrate, and take care of yourselves in between rehearsals, which will allow for everyone to be their best at all times!

Full Day Band Camp Schedule (July 25-29):

• There will be NO lunch break during the morning rehearsal block (9a-1p).  Students should eat during the afternoon break (1:00-3:30p).  If staying at the school, students should bring a lunch with them when they arrive in the morning.

Parent Preview Performance:

• Call time for students will be 5:15p, dressed in khaki/tan shorts and their 2022 Band t-shirt (they will receive this later this week).  Sunglasses are permitted, but no hats please.

• All parents, friends, family and alumni are encouraged to come see and hear the beginnings of our 2022 Production!

• The performance will last around 30 minutes.  Students will be dismissed at the conclusion of the performance.

Our Half Day Band Camp officially begins this week (July 18-22)!  This is a VERY important week for the Pace Band program.  In order to have the most successful week possible, please be mindful of the following:

• Schedule is 9:00a-3:00p (Monday through Friday).  Additionally, we will rehearse Tuesday and Thursday evening from 6:00p-9:00p.  All rehearsals are always mandatory!

 

• Please be prepared to spend long portions of the day outside.  Dress appropriately, wear hat/sunglasses, bring a beach towel for stretch/sitting (the ground is hot), and apply sunscreen frequently.  Don’t forget to eat a healthy breakfast each morning, and get plenty of rest each night.  Start hydrating now!

 

• A large mouth water bottle is a MUST.  It is very time consuming for our volunteer parents to fill up small water bottles.  Invest in a LARGE water jug, and use it for the entire marching season.  You’ll want the extra water!

 

• Bring a healthy lunch to eat each day.  Lunch will be from 12:00p to 12:30p, and students may NOT leave campus during this time.

A look ahead...

The following week is our Full Day Band Camp (July 25-29), 9a-9p each day, with our Friends & Family Preview Performance in the Stadium on Friday July 29th.  More details about this coming week & preview performance coming soon!

Other Notable Dates/Events:

Tuesday July 12- Band Leadership Meeting, 3:00p, Band Booster Meeting, 6:00p, Band Health Form is DUE*

*The Band Health Form is an extremely important document for your students to safely participate in all Band activities.  We need to have this form on file by the time the student attends rehearsal on this date, or they will be unable to participate in any outdoor activities.  Please remember this form also needs to be notarized. If you haven't turned this in yet, it can be found in Documents and Forms.

Friday July 15-  Fair Share Band Payment #2 Due

Saturday July 16-  Marching Band Shoe Orders DUE*

*All Band students are responsible for making this additional purchase of Marching Shoes, or students will not be able to perform while the band is wearing the uniform.  Shipping dates of these shoes are unknown due to current worldwide conditions, so it is necessary to make this purchase ASAP.  Information on ordering shoes can be found in Additional Expenses.

Our June Band camp is rapidly approaching.  Some tips and reminders for ALL students are listed below:

• DATES:  Our first camp is May 31st - June 3rd.  Brass/Woodwinds are from 5:00-9:00p, and Percussion/Color Guard are from 3:00p-9:00p.  Arrive EARLY and meet in the band hall.  “To be EARLY, is to be ON TIME.”  

 

• DRESS:  We will be outside, in the sun, for the majority of the afternoon/evening.  Wear warm weather athletic clothing (school appropriate), supportive undergarments, & tennis shoes/socks.  A hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen are highly recommended.  Percussion/Color Guard- Bringing a change of clothes for after dinner would be a smart idea as well… unless you enjoy wearing smelly clothing all day.

 

• WHAT TO BRING:  Instrument (unless we provide it), large mouth water jug prefilled with ice water, 3 ring binder and sheet protectors (to store music), and a large beach towel (you will want to sit on this, rather than the concrete or grass… trust me).

 

• Eat a healthy meal and drink plenty of water before you arrive!  Fruit, salads, sandwiches, and any other light food is the most ideal here!  Brass/Woodwinds will NOT have a dinner break (see below).

 

• DINNER BREAK (Percussion & Color Guard ONLY):  - No student will be permitted to leave campus.  Parents may drop off a dinner for a student, but should not plan on staying.  Dinner break for these students will be from 5:30-6:15p in the cafeteria each day.

 

• PARENT DROP OFF/PICK UP:  Please avoid using the front bus loop for drop off and pick up.  It quickly becomes congested and has caused multiple issues in the past.  Plan on dropping off/picking up your child in just about ANY other lot at the front or back of the school.  To reduce the number of people on campus at any given time, parents are strongly encouraged to stay in their vehicle when picking up their child.

 

• ABSENCES:  A director or staff member will need to be notified of any absence as early as possible.  Email or text notifications are preferred.  Understand that being tired or sore is not an excusable absence.

 

• MEDICAL PAPERWORK:  In order to keep your child safe, please make every effort to submit the Band Health Form and the Over the Counter Medication Permission Form.  Hard copies of these forms are in the band room, and electronic copies can be found HERE.

 

• Additional tips on how to prepare for all of our summer band rehearsals can be found in the following link:  Preparing for Summer Band Camp Video

 

• FINALLY - Parents, support and encourage your child as a much as possible. The first few days of camp are hard on everyone, so push them to stick with it!

​If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to ask.  We look forward to seeing everyone on May 31st!
