It's the Last Day! (of Band Camp...)

Hey hey! It's the last day of Band Camp, and it's been great! 

As you get ready to come back to school in another few days, here are some things to remember:

• Think about what a reasonable sleep schedule looks like for you. The better you sleep, the better your mind and body will respond to you.
• Think about what reasonable nutrition looks like for you. A good balance of protein, carbs, and fats will provide your mind and body the nutrients that will keep you healthy.
• Think about how to incorporate more water into your day. Water is amazing, and is even a better friend than your very best friend. 
• And (of course), think about how to develop a time each day for practicing your instrument. What is helpful for many people is to, as you are getting ready for bed, check your plans for the next day and decide when is the best time for that day to get in some practice. And then set an alarm, so that you remember "oh yeah - time for some practice!". 

When we first met at the beginning of Band Camp, it was suggested that you should bookmark this page and check it often. If YOU are seeing this on the final day of Band Camp, YOU have won a prize! Stay tuned - McKee will award prizes toward the end of rehearsal! 😁

OK THS Band and Orchestra Adults, It's Time for YOU to Step Up

The Tigard Festival of Balloons is this week, and the Tigard High Band and Orchestra Boosters have a contract with the TFOB to provide volunteers for all 3 days of the Festival. For our participation, we get several thousand dollars which is shared to the student music accounts of those who volunteer, so everyone wins. 

THS music students have done a really good job of signing up. However, there are a number of  adult-only spots that remain unfilled, and if we do not take care of this before the Festival begins, we will be in breach of our contract and will stand to lose the revenue from the Festival. 

So adults, we need YOU to look at your schedule and sign up to help. The shifts are not long and the duties are easy - we just need YOUR presence. Here is the minimum that is needed each day:

• FRIDAY June 26 
• 7 - 11 PM - 1 or 2 adults
• SATURDAY June 27
• 9am-1pm - 1 or 2 adults
• 6-10pm - 1 or 2 adults
• 7-11pm - 1 adult
• SUNDAY June 28
• 9am- 1pm - 2 adults
• 1-6pm - 2 adults

Please, check your schedule and CLICK HERE to sign up. 

(Students, there are still some spots for you as well - can YOU add yourself to the mix??) 

(And remember, all volunteers get FREE admission to the Festival! 

Wanna Earn Even MORE for Your Student Account??

You already know that volunteering at the Tigard Festival of Balloons will earn you credit for your Band/Orchestra account - yay! 

But here's some exciting news: if you work more than one shift, each additional shift will earn $1/hour MORE for your account! Oh, wow! If you work multiple shifts, that will add up in a hurry! 

So, better got sign up for more shifts!
