  Great Mini Camp Everybody! Here's what's happening at next week's camp... Band Uniforms:  We are currently putting together some parent volunteers who will be coming in to assist in distributing band uniforms.  This will happen during the day. PLEASE. .. Once we have the uniforms sent out for cleaning, you adjust your uniform so the pant legs are absolutely even and everything fits the way it should.  Uniforms are not one-size-fits all and need to be hemmed, taken-in in spots and taken out in spots so the band members looks how they should.  This is probably our last season in these uniforms so feel free to make whatever alterations you need to.  Please keep in mind though, that band members who's uniforms do not fit correctly at uniform check will no doubt receive low scores (which are part of their band grade).  "IF" you need assistance with alterations please let us know. Marching Band Pictures:   Will take place on Thursday, Aug. 4th between the hours

Uniform Fittings will occur next week on certain days between 1 and 3:30 PM.  Parents... Please be sure to take the uniform home and have it properly fitted to your son or daughter.  It is not a one size fits all situation.  Going to a seamstress (or doing it yourself is fine).  #3.  Mt. Vernon 1st Friday Performance on Aug. 5th ..........  Logistics are still being worked-out as we have not yet heard anything from the Mt. Vernon people.  We will keep you aware of things as we learn of them.  #4.  Band Pictures will be held late next week (still waiting to hear back from the photographer).  We will take a group photo in
