Weekly Update
Jul 15, 2024
Good Afternoon Band Family!
Whew, this has been a hot summer. I went for a run this morning and it was already 81 degrees at 6:15am. All this to say, be prepared. Marching band is a physical activity that is outside. That being said, we come inside when it gets too hot.
Leadership Camp
Leadership camp begins next week July 22nd and runs Monday through Thursday from noon till 3. (Wednesday and Thursday will have to be at a different location.
We will also have a set up time on Sunday July 28th. Beginning at 3pm
During this time we will cover the band’s leadership philosophy and practical ways of implementing this philosophy.
Our band thrives off a multitude of student leaders that perform a number of essential tasks vital to our success.
Everyone that comes to camp will be given a leadership responsibility not everyone will receive a position of section leader or captain.
Instrument rental
If you need an instrument for the school year/marching season, I will be at the band room on Monday July 22nd from 3-4:30pm.
I will also be collecting Marching Band dues and medical forms at the same time.
If you bring those in early it really helps me out for the first day of camp.
If you are unable to get it at that time, then you can pick one up the first day of camp.
There is a once a year fee of $100 to rent an instrument from the school. This fee covers any number of instruments that you may be required to play
Drumline members also need to pay the rental fee.

If you can’t make the evening presentation, you can come to the one on Monday, July 29th at 9:30am while the kids are learning to march.
Band Camp
14 days away. Let the countdown begin.

We are not creatures of destinations. It is the journey that shapes us.
