wear deodorant and take showers (your social life may depend on it)
Hydrate and eat good meals (especially breakfast)
Bring a water bottle to every rehearsal - VERY IMPORTANT!

Starting now - Get acclimated to heat and hydrate! (ideas: go to the beach, take your videogames outside and play them, mow the lawn, take a walk/bike ride)
Arrive at pre-camp on time and enter through the Fine Arts Entrance of the HS. Turn right to make your way to the Band Room once in the building.
Parent support is critical.
UNIFORM FITTINGS:
We need help next week with uniform fittings on Monday (7/20) from 8am-Noon (you don’t need to know how to do anything, we’ll train you!). The more help we have on Monday the less likely we’ll have to send 5 more emails asking for help. Also, our parents helping really appreciate that students wear deodorant.

FEED THE BAND!:
During Full Camp Week our student leadership team has set the menu for our lunches…They are requesting a family, or group of families, friends, etc, to sign-up for a day to coordinate Feeding the band lunch (You’ll work with Mr. Wellfare to know what exactly to do) We’ll work with the people for each day getting the supplies needed, but if the families could pick up the food for the day (we’ll reimburse and also request donations for some items) that would help divide the work and not make one person be run ragged all week! The students have chosen things that are easy to make on grills, hotpans, griddles, etc)
Katie Bradley has volunteered to coordinate the week so she will be there each day to help coordinate set-up etc.
Also, we are taking a look at the salad portion of each day based on the recent news - we’ll keep you posted.
Monday: Pizza (easiest day, order and pick-up, set-up, get salad, etc)
Tuesday: Grill Burgers/Dogs/salads (we’ll provide grill)
Wednesday: Breakfast for lunch/salad (pancakes, sausage, etc) You’ll need a blackstone or large griddle of sometype)
Thursday: Mac and Cheese/Pulled pork, salad (Roaster pans make this fairly easy if you have them)
