Half Day Band Camp THIS WEEK!

7/18/2021

Our 2021 Half Day Band Camp officially kicks off in less than 24 hours! We want everyone to have the best experience possible, so please take a moment to read through the following reminders:

Schedule is 9:00a-3:00p (Monday through Friday). Additionally, we will rehearse Tuesday and Thursday evening from 6:00p-9:00p.

Please be prepared to spend long portions of the day outside. Dress appropriately, wear hat/sunglasses, and apply sunscreen frequently. Don’t forget to eat a healthy breakfast each morning, and get plenty of rest each night.

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 12:45p, and students may NOT leave campus during this time.

ALL students need to have a notarized Band Health Form on file before this week. Students missing this form will have to sit on the sidelines until this is submitted. An updated list of missing forms is listed below. A digital copy of the form can be found HERE.

Jazz Camp - This Week!

7/10/2021

This coming week, we are proud to host Jazz Camp, a week-long Jazz focused preparation for the upcoming school year, including "live" masterclasses and in-depth training from professional Jazz musicians located all across the country.

These events are open for ANY member of the band program (winds, percussion, or color guard) with an interest in Jazz music. No previous Jazz experience is necessary to attend, and everyone is welcome to come learn about the musical world of Jazz!

Students registered for the 2021-22 Jazz Ensemble classes are expected to be in attendance.

Jazz Camp is from 12-2p each day in the Band Room.

Day 2 Reminders!

6/15/2021

We are already looking forward to seeing everyone back on campus today at 3:00p!

Now that the first day is officially in the books, here are some friendly tips and reminders:

Rehearsal starts at 3:00p (in your designated rehearsal location), which means you should arrive on campus no later than 2:45p. Let's work together to make sure everyone understands the importance of being "on time". Leadership will need to arrive earlier to make sure everything is set up and ready to go BEFORE 3:00p.

If you have not already done so, please fill out our Band Health Form, Over the Counter Medication Form, and our Band Student Contract as soon as possible. Hard copies are on the white table in the band room. Completed copies can be turned in to the band office.

Please remember to bring a filled water jug and a towel to sit on! If you run out of water during rehearsal, we have parents who will happily give you a refill.

Drop off/Pick up - Parents, please avoid using the front bus loop. Any other parking lot is more suitable. Your child is fully capable of walking a little further.

Eat a healthy lunch and drink plenty of water before you arrive! Fruit, salads, sandwiches, and any other light food is the most ideal here!

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!

June Band Camp Details!

6/8/2021

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

DATES: Our first camp is June 14-18th, 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. 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), large beach towel (you will want to sit on this, rather than the concrete or grass… trust me), and a healthy meal to eat during our dinner break.

DINNER BREAK: 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 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

If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to ask. I look forward to seeing everyone on the 14th!
