Hi Marching Band Members!
Lots of info to get out to you...
- For Squad Leader and Newbie Days (see Info Below) please remember to bring a sack lunch, water bottle to refill (labeled w/ your name), sunscreen, dress in light cool clothing, marching shoes and your instrument. Parents: if you'd like to donate a can of Gatorade powder, it would greatly be appreciated!
- Band Camp
Monday Report Time: 8:30 am! Parents:DO NOT JUST DROP OFF, You need to check-in inside the Band Room. A new release form has to be filled out for your child to do any water activities at Miracle Camp. THIS IS NEW THIS YEAR!!! Also, if you have not paid in full, or are missing forms this will need to be done at this time. - Due to a new regulation from the State of Michigan, we have to leave Miracle camp before noon on friday, thus we will be stopping for lunch on the way home. Please give your child $ ($5.00?) to buy a fast food lunch. Sorry, for the late notice, please be mad at the State government, not us :).
- Be prepared for the weeks after Band Camp and before school starts. Every Marching Band member should have a pair of Khaki Shorts ready and BLACK athletic shoes and socks for marching.
There will be Marching Band practice during the two weeks after Band Camp. This schedule is not written in stone, but pencil in Monday-Thursday, August 23-26, 7-9 a.m. for now. The first HOME football game of the season is Thursday, August 26 at Rynearson Stadium, EMU at 8 p.m. Details are now being worked on to determine if we will be Marching or if it will be a pep band performance. We will let you know ASAP!
We will not have practices on the Friday, August 27 or September 3 so families can have long weekends before school starts.
