Hopefully you’ve all had a chance to rest and recover from our Band Camp week!  We learned so much in a short period of time, and now it’s time to get back at it!


THIS WEEK:


  • Monday August 11 - Rehearsal 8am-12pm - Starting in Band Room!


LOOKING AHEAD:


  • Monday August 18 - This rehearsal will also be from 8am-12pm (originally we thought this is when school would start, so it showed as an evening rehearsal)


  • Colorguard - Brandon will communicate any extra rehearsals with you.

Camp Week Info!

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!

Dear Marching Band Families,


As we approach the official start of our season with Band Camp 2025 we ask that you please make your season payment. Many of our major bills come due in the next few weeks (Music, Drill, Staff, Shirts, Shoes, Gloves).  You can see your balance via Cut-time and you can pay online (credit card fees apply).  


You can also send a check made payable to Caledonia Bands and place it in the white mailbox in the band room (Envelopes are provided at the box, please fill out your name and other information requested so we know who to credit)


Those who ordered shoes, gloves, play a school instrument/guard, will see those fees added shortly as we place those orders.


If you requested information regarding a payment plan or financial assistance Mr. Wellfare will be in touch with you soon.  


Thank You!
