Dear Marching Band Families,
Happy July! Marching Band Pre-Camp and Camp are coming up fast! Pre-Camp starts on the 22nd and camp starts on the 29th! Our custom music and drill are being written and we have an exciting season planned for all of you! Below are a few things you can do to help you prepare as well as some reminders!
To-do:
-If you haven’t filled out your registration/medical form yet please do so now.
-Make sure your instrument works and you have all the supplies you need (reeds, oil, etc)
-Play your instrument some this week to get your chops back in shape
-Go outside and get acclimated to being in the heat
-HYDRATE (start now and drink water regularly throughout the day, everyday)
-Eat healthy regular meals
-Make sure you have some comfortable athletic clothing and tennis shoes. You’ll be moving
around a lot and we want you to be comfortable.
Pre-Camp:
Monday July 22nd - Thursday July 25: 8am-Noon in CHS Band Room
-We will get our music and start learning! You will also “learn how to learn” so that we
can move fast during camp when we have our full staff! Uniform Fittings will also be
taking place during this time.
Band Camp:
Monday July 29 - Friday Aug 2 8am-5pm at CHS
-We learn the show! We are excited to have our regular staff back with us this season as
well as some additions to help us learn!
-More information regarding meals and supplies will be coming shortly
-We break up the day with different activities so that we aren’t always in the heat
OTHER INFORMATION:
There are going to be many ways for parents to be involved! Look for more details and
sign-ups soon!
Here are some examples:
-Boosters Board
