Band Camp is Almost Here!
Getting ready for the new season!
1) If you are also in a fall sport you need to get a "MUSIC DEPARTMENT DUAL ACTIVITIES FORM" from the main office, complete it and give it to one of the directors BEFORE or ON the very first day of camp. We need to know exactly who we will have at practice and when so we are able to plan effectively!
2) First Day of camp Schedule...

5) Miscellaneous: Woodwind reeds will not be available this year as we spent over $1200.00 on them last season, wiping-out our repair account. Musicians will need to provide their own reeds. We will have some in stock for emergency situations only!

If you are involved in a fall sport practice, a fair event or journalism you'll need to "duck-out" of that particular activity for a few minutes in order to come down to the music area to get your picture taken "in uniform"! There will be no make-ups!
9) Marching Band Uniform Fittings... will take place during the day on both Monday, July 31st and Wednesday, August 1st. Be sure to get yours! You'll need it for pictures!
