- Monday's projected high temperature is 102 degrees. No, really. We will work diligently to keep you all as cool as possible. Your job is to hydrate very well this weekend, so that your tissues are nice and full of moisture before the week begins. The rule of thumb is this: if you wait to drink until you're thirsty, you're already dehydrated.
- Get good sleep this weekend, and eat well. Marching Band is a very physical activity, and your body needs fuel!
- Make sure you what section you're in - it will make a difference as to when you will be rehearsing once the evening practices begin August 25. Horns/DL/Guard will all rehearse on Monday evenings, Pit will rehearse on Tuesday evenings, and the entire ensemble will rehearse on Wednesday evenings. Not sure where you fit? Here's how to tell:
- If you spin it or toss it, you're in the Guard.
- If you hit it while marching, you're in the Drumline.
- If you hit it and don't march, you're in the Pit.
- If it has a mouthpiece, you're in the Hornline.
- Make sure you have good shoes for marching. Closed-toed is very important. No heels, no boots. Shorts are recommended, but not short-shorts. Jeans are a definite no-no - they restrict your movement too much. Tank tops are fine, as are tee-shirts. Guys do not rehearse shirtless and girls wear shirts over their sports bras - I know that's not how drum corps do it, but we are a public school and there is an expectation of appropriate dress.
- Bring these things with you:
- Water bottle
- Sunscreen
- Water bottle
- Snack food
- Water bottle
- Lunch
- Water bottle
- Pencil
- Water bottle
- Instrument/equipment
- Water bottle
- Did I mention you need to hydrate, and bring a water bottle?
- Fees can be paid any day of Band Camp, or at the All-Band Picnic on August 22. The Band Booster treasurers will be at the picnic to help with student account information and fee payment plans.
Band Camp is coming - it's gonna be EPIC!!!
