 This is a test post.

  Attention all really cool band parents... We need some help over band camp.  If you're able to assist please see either Chuck Dettmar or Anne Teschler sometime today or tomorrow!  We need: 1.  Parents to volunteer in the uniform room getting things prepared for fittings and doing the fittings.   2.  Parents to assist out on the practice field this Saturday morning .  We need to measure and line the field and set-up the tower scaffold in preparation for drill this coming Monday morning. 3.  Parents to sign-up as "PIT CREW" for this season.  The pit crew is responsible for assisting to load and unload the band trailer as well as getting the pit percussion on the field for performances. 4.  Parents to sign-up for certain dates as "TRAILER PULLERS" and transportation people.  We need the marching band equipment brought all over the place this fall and need helpers.  Please contact Anne Teschler if interested! 5.  We are desperately looking for a keyboard player

Hey All Newbies!   .... Band members in grades 7-9! Here what you should bring and do tomorrow!... 1). Show up at the event entrance (band room entrance) and check-in for attendance at the table by 12:45 PM! 2). Bring your stuff to the band room and just have a seat... easy, right? 3)  Watch a brief slides presentation, then go to the gym and get into it! 4). After the gym, return to the band room for another brief slides presentation 5). Dismissed at 4 PM on the dot! * NOTE :  We will begin exactly AT 1 PM so you'll want to get to school and sign-in by 12:45!!

Just a couple changes... The mini camp schedule will be followed as planned except for the following:  (below)        a) On Thursday, July 29th we'd like to have a brief meeting with all parents in the auditorium at 4 PM.  You'll be picking up your kids anyway so it's a perfect time for us to address a couple important things.  See ya there!          b)  On Friday, July 30th , when the new members arrive for their band test at 2:30 PM, we'd like to have them stay for a little more marching practice until 4:30 PM .           c)  Section leaders... following your section leader training on Friday, July 30th , we'd like you to remain with the new members and work on some marching fundamentals.         d)  Finally, we've replaced this year's Hiawatha pool/pizza event with something I think everybody's gonna dig...  The first ever "REAL" Band Camp Campfire and Pizza Party!!!   (SEE BELOW!).    ↓ What:  Band Camp Campfire and Pizza Night!

  Hello all super marching band members and their families... As we approach the time for band camp  I have just a last minute reminder for everyone:  Attendance at band camp is a mandatory activity , and full participation is needed.  Only emergent situations should be reasons for not attending your sessions.  I'm just reminding everyone of this because I'd prefer not to have any confusion.  Thanks! 😎 "IF" you have a situation where you'll need to miss a session or a portion thereof "YOUR PARENTS" should be the ones to either e-mail Mr. D. or call the band office (740-625-6055, ext. 2185).  I truly appreciate your anticipated cooperation, and really look forward to a great band camp! 👍
