Pre-Camp went AWESOME, and we are looking forward to an Amazing Camp week as we learn our show!
This is a very important week for the success of our marching band season! Camp week can be tough and tiring on the students, so we really need parents to support their kids with lots of encouragement (they’ll be more tired than usuall, might need an extra push in the morning), as well as reminders about the importance of hydrating, eating well and getting plenty of rest.
Here are a few pointers to help your students have a positive, successful week!
All School Rules/Policies Apply to Band Camp (and all band activities) including Dress Codes.
CHS is a Closed Campus - meaning that during our breaks students must stay
Bring a snack for our morning block on the field…this is a long time to be outside and a healthy snack that doesn’t contain a lot of sugar might be helpful. (avoid things that might melt)
Keep Hydrated consistently throughout the day with water or gatorade/powerade. Students should not be drinking soda or energy drinks.
Students must eat breakfast. Avoid lots of sugary cereals and dairy products which may not sit well with our physical activity.
Get a good night's sleep
Wear Sunscreen - bring extra and apply it often during the day. I promise, it is very uncomfortable to do this activity with a sunburn.
Take a shower and wear deodorant. As a High Schooler this is a perfect time to make this a part of your daily hygiene routine. Your social life may depend on it!
Schedule:
Monday - 8am-5pm (Lunch Provided - Pizza/Salad)
Tuesday - 8am-5pm (Lunch Provided - Burgers/Hotdogs/Salad)
Wednesday - 8am-5pm (Lunch Provided - Breakfast for Lunch/Salad)
Thursday - 8am-8pm (Lunch Provided Mac and Cheese/BBQ/Salad) (Our regular rehearsal will end at 5, but our student leaders have planned some fun activities for the band to bond together and have some fun - Section Leaders are working out dinner and it will be communicated with each member)
Friday - 8am - 12:00pm - At 11am we will hold a Public Parent performance to show off all the hard work of our students at our Practice Field. Once this parent performance is done the students are dismissed and Band Camp 2025 will be complete!
Also, as mentioned in my previous email, please take care of any account balances!
