Hello everyone! 

I hope this message finds everyone safe and ready to begin our season. There are a few reminders and changes that I would like to make everyone aware of.

Our band booster meeting scheduled for Monday July 20 will be held virtually. The meeting will be conducted via Google Meet, beginning at 7:00pm. The link to join is below.

Also, due to an estimated 3-4 week turnover for uniform cleaning, we will be postponing our uniform fitting nights. They will no longer be held on July 21-23. We are hoping to hold the fittings the week of August 17th. More info will be sent out about this once things are finalized. 

The above also affects our band picture day. Band pictures will no longer be held on Aug. 5th. Pictures will be scheduled after fittings.

Make sure that your student reads and follows the guidelines that were previously sent out. Please read through them again prior to our first practice on Monday. Make sure that you have a flip folder and lyre for your instrument. These are available at any local music store.

Be sure you are signed up for the band REMIND. This is the primary method of communication in case of last minute changes or cancellations to practice. 

Band camp will be held at school this year July 27-31. Schedule below:
8:00-11:30am-rehearsal (home for lunch)
1:00-3:00pm-rehearsal (home for rest/dinner etc.)
6:00-8:30pm-rehearsal

Lastly, please know that you will be informed of any schedule changes we may have as soon as possible...directly from me. I realize there are many rumors circulating about school, football season, band competitions etc. I will inform you of changes when and if they are made:)

Thanks!

I hope this message finds everyone safe and sound. I trust that you have had fun this summer and enjoyed the 4th of July weekend:)

I also hope that you are looking forward to the beginning of band on Monday July 20. Color guard will be starting one week earlier on Monday July 13. We look forward to seeing you all and can't wait to once again hear you play your instruments...it's been awhile! Our fingers are crossed in hopes that we can start as planned. Musically, make sure you are ready. Our expectation is that you come to band knowing how to play the music you were given at the beginning of June.

Below are some very important guidelines that must be followed as we begin our season. Please be sure to read through these thoroughly so that you understand what is expected in order to keep each other safe. 

Take care and see you soon!
​Mr. B
