Announcements, Information & a Priceless Video!

The first full week of band camp is over! The kids worked hard and played hard too (see video at the end of this post). So much progress was made and I think all the parents will really be surprised at our Kick-Off Supper & Show Preview on August 7th!

Band students MUST be in FULL uniform (including shako, black shoes, instrument, etc.).
Order forms will be distributed at rehearsal on Wednesday, August 1st and must be returned the day of the photo! (This is the group photo that goes in the yearbook and the football programs and also individual photos are taken that day too).

Bring a change of clothes--rehearsal following the Band Photo!

Don't forget, this means you must process either earlier before the photo and rehearsal or right at noon!
