 Everybody get psyched!   Just 4 more days 'till band camp fun!

😎 Camp begins Monday, July 22nd at 9AM!

Check ALL schedules so you know when you're expected at camp!

Last minute details and schedules:  👀

2.  "EVERYONE" should go to the Centerburg Music website, jump on the marching band section and review the presentations, videos, schedules and calendars and marching visuals sheet before attending camp...especially new members and incoming freshmen.

3.  PLEASE be sure you have your 1 gallon (preferably red...so we all match) water jug for EVERY single practice session (block).  

4.  Brass instruments are back from the shop, and Mr. D. will have the band room open tomorrow, Thursday, July 18th from 11AM until 2PM if you need to sign-out an instrument.  ALL instrument loans/sign-outs need to be done BEFORE you arrive for your first time at band camp!  If you can't make this time slot shoot Mr. D. and e-mail and he'll try to be at school when you're available.

5.  The entire show (minus the 31 count pre-show and drum feature) is on YouTube.  Just go to YouTube and search "Centerburg Pirates" and all 3 parts will come up.  Try to follow along with your music!

  Please be sure you either are prepared with or understand the following:

* Practice uniform:  Shorts, t-shirt, cap, sneakers, water jug

* 3-ring binder containing your music (extra parts are in the band hallway NOW!)

* Pencil (to mark measures with visuals)...before taking a photo of your part and uploading it to UDB.

* Cell phone starting Thursday

* Small towel on which to put down your instrument when not playing.

* Bag lunch (or make arrangements with your folks) No leaving campus!

Special Meetings:

Student Leaders Meeting:  (Drum Majors, section leaders, band manager and band librarians/UDB Techs) Monday, July 22nd - 9 AM (Band Room)...we'll find some time after our training and discussions to put together a couple "social...evening" activities during the band camp weeks in addition to the DCI show on the 30th.  Possibilities include a campfire (annual big brother and sister ceremony) + a couple other "fun" team-building activities.  Start thinking!

Finally... PLEASE remember - "IF" you ever have a schedule issue or are sick and need to be either late or absent we will only accept e-mails from your parents, and should be sent as far in advance as possible so we are able to plan!  Last minute communications from band members saying they can't make a practice for one reason or another will not be accepted.  Parent communications only!

OK...that about wraps it up.  Did I miss anything?  Let me know! 

Get pumped!   Get Psyched!   

Go Trojan Pride Band!!! 👍
