Band Camp!?!?

Two weeks of practice before school starts! We will practice the music, the choreography, use of the props, and of course, have lots of bonding activities. This is the week where we grow and become a family. It can be grueling but the end rewards are worth it. Please see the schedule, dress up days, and supply list links above.

• Bring your black music binder, printed music, & dot sheet

• You will receive any accessories you ordered during band camp.

​

Game Nights/Competition Food:

Send your student with money on a card for dinners during game nights (home and away). They will have a chance to visit the concession stands for food after half time. Consider sending them with extra food/snacks on game days so they can eat after school and before the game. Competition food will be pre-ordered and the amount will be charged to your CutTime account.

​

After Game/Competition Pick Ups:
You will receive a Remind message when we know ETA for pickup after an away game or competition trip. Do NOT block the bus lane- we need space for the buses to pull in and drop off the kids. Students may be delayed coming out after the drop off because we must unload the trailer and clean up the band room.

​

Payments:

• A $200 commitment payment should be made by early summer.

• Payments throughout the year can be paid online in CutTime.

• A Check or cash can be dropped off in the lock box in the band room. Make sure it's in an envelope with your student's name on it. Make checks out to: 

• Volunteering to work Home Game Concessions can earn credit towards your account. Shifts giving credit will be marked as such when you sign up in CutTime.
