Hello everyone,
Hope everyone's summer is going well and getting some well deserved rest before the upcoming year! It appears most of the marching band has been uploaded into infinite campus, which will likely mean we'll transition to send emails via that platform instead of direct through email to be more reliable. Just wanted everyone to have a heads up for when that happens.
Activities Physicals
As we sent out earlier earlier in the year, physicals need to be submitted to the school for students to participate in marching band and we now have updated information regarding how to submit these forms/paperwork. Please see the attached PDFs for what is required of the physicals as well as how to submit them. They should be submitted via the athletic/activities website for the school's record. Please note that sending anything to the band directors will not submit it to the school and will not count.
Flip Folders, Lyres, Drillmasters, etc
Please visit this link on our amazing boosters page to purchase flip folders, lyres, and drill masters as needed! (Colorguard please note your equipment is different and you should contact Kasey or a section leader regarding what you will need) A reminder that these materials should be purchased before band camp to avoid items selling out. As a special note, drillmasters are the required shoe for the marching band to look uniform and any other black or mostly black shoe will NOT work for this activity.
Guard Camp July 24th-28th
Members of the Colorguard! You've been doing amazing work so far! Your official intro camp is coming up next week and you will learn the majority of skills and information you'll need for the season during this time. Please make sure you are present and on time for these days and meet in the band room (unless otherwise noted by Kasey)
Percussion Camp August 14th-17th
Percussion! Your official intro camp will start on the 14th and it is critical you are also in attendance and on time. Your camp will overlap with the rest of the band on the 17th while the band starts learning the fundamentals so you can continue to refine what you have. Please continue to work on the music you have and ask questions of section leaders/instructors if you have them!
Band Camp Starts August 17th!!
We'll have a large email coming out in the beginning of August with lots of specifics so please keep an eye out. Until then please continue to keep your calendars clear so we can have a great start to the season. A reminder that the marching band calendar can also be found in our handbook and on the booster website HERE.
Additional Friends and Family Show Shirts Final Reminder
Final reminder that we have additional family and friends show shirts available for purchase through our booster website HERE for those that are interested. Participating students get a free color version, but if you'd like additional options, feel free! Many families purchase these for when they come to watch the performance and support the band at football games, competitions, and around the community. All proceeds go directly band into the program to help purchase items including instruments and equipment, supplement day to day needs, and scholarship students. Last day to submit a purchase order is THIS Friday July 21st
