Day 4 - Band Camp

Hot...Hot...Hot!!! Today seemed like the hottest day, but the kids didn't let up and continued to work hard and take lots of drink breaks and enjoyed the cool down tent with the mist fans. They marched all morning, then full band rehearsal and sectionals right after lunch and then it was time to go back outside! It's all coming together and the kids are doing great with their marching and playing...but as Mr. Harrell says, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE and MEMORIZE that music! (see photos below...)

REMINDER: we still have about a dozen students who have not turned in their $5 Band Camp Fee or returned the forms that were sent home in their packet on Monday. Please send your items in tomorrow!
