COMMUNICATION!  Hey everybody... We try hard to provide different ways to communicate with you and your families.  It is really important that you check the Centerburg Music Blog, Centerburg Music Facebook, Centerburg Music Boosters Facebook and your "school" e-mail.  We are putting a lot of information out there every week over the summer and, having questioned random individuals over the summer vacation, it is obvious to me that very few people are checking these things.  It's really our only way to keep you informed AND is really important so you know what is going on.  Thanks!  See you soon!

Bohemian Journey Show:  At this point all musicians should have their music; Don't Stop Believin', Open Arms and Bohemian Rhapsody.  It is really important that you find time to practice your music prior to band camp!  This is not the kind of show that you can "begin" working on during camp!  The music has some very technical sections, and you will need to have a good portion of those sections learned "before" you come to camp!  Because we don't have practices over the summer (how a large majority of bands do), we COUNT ON YOU to put in some time on the music so we can "hit the ground running" on the first day of camp!  Good luck!  See you on Monday, July 30th!

Attention:  Athletes working the Hartford Fair: If you are involved in athletics and have been asked to sign-up for a time to work the Harford Fair PLEASE do not make it during band camp hours.

Band Camp Dates:  Monday, July 30th - Friday, August 3rd AND Monday, Aug 6th - Thursday, August 9th.  PLEASE schedule your work hours, fair activities, doctor appointments, family obligations, etc... around these dates.  This is the one time during the year that we all need to be together!  If you will be absent for certain times during camp for athletic practices you'll need to complete and turn in a "Music Department Dual Activity Form" BY the first day of band camp.  There are a stack of them available in the main office on Mrs. Clark's desk!

Band Camp Pool Bash and Picnic:  Tuesday, July 31st (5-7 PM)  $5 per band member (payable during camp that day!)  School bus transportation to and fro immediately following band camp on Tuesday so bring along your swim suit and towel to camp that day!

Cedar Point Parade and Fun Day Friday, August 10th!  6:45 AM!!
