Practice Makes Perfect!

Day 2 of band camp was a very productive day! The kids were out marching first thing this morning until lunchtime and yes, it was HOT!!! More pages of drill were set and the kids did a fantastic job. Judy Rittenour, Elizabeth Staten and Gary Kirksey were at it again...mixing up Powerade and handing out drinks to ensure the kids didn't get dehydrated. Also, a special word of "thanks" to Tony Staten for asking Coke to donate 3 cases of Powerade!

The afternoon included sectionals, as well as a full band rehearsal led by Mr. Stough. As the day concluded, Mr. Harrell gathered the entire band and color guard for a final run-through and then it was time for popsicles!

Come ready to work hard tomorrow for a full day of Band Camp (8 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.)
Mr. Harrell's advice...PRACTICE, PRACTICE, MEMORIZE, and PRACTICE some more!

REMINDER: Please return your packet of forms and your $5 Band Camp Fee if you have not done so already! The forms sent home in the packets on Monday must be filled out in addition to the form mailed by Mr. Harrell.
