BAND CAMP IS THIS WEEK!!! HOORAY!

 BAND CAMP STARTS THIS THURSDAY!!!

So, here's what you need to know:

  • Band Camp starts at 8:30 and ends at noon. (We actually DO start at 8:30, so be there early. Doors open at 8)
  • We meet in the Band Room. 
    • [But McKee - How do we get there??
      • Come to the front of the school, and walk to the left. Come through the black gate and the Band Room is right there. Please DON'T come through the hallway - our terrific maintenance staff is still finishing up their work and we don't want to interfere. Just use our outside entrance.
  • Make sure to eat before you come - real food, not just sugar. And drink water. Marching Band is a very physical activity, and your body needs good food and hydration.  
  • Check the previous post about what to bring.

And make sure your adults know about the Pizza Picnic that's coming up on Friday.
