BAND CAMP

Band Camp was (and is, technically) awesome! Thank you, everyone, for working hard. Let's finish strong with a great couple of rehearsals this week.

WHEN WILL THE STUFF I ORDERED GET HERE?

Each item comes from a different vendor, and they all have different turn-around times. Most items will arrive over the next two weeks.

DO YOU HAVE YOUR KHAKI SHORTS? 🩳

You need a pair of khaki shorts for the first few football games! Don't wait until the last minute to get this taken care of. Our first game is Friday, August 20.

CAROLINA BAND DAY

Thursday is the last day to sign up and pay for Carolina Band Day. We will take a school bus to Columbia, SC, on Saturday, September 4th, and spend the day with the Carolina Band! $35 for students includes a shirt, a ball cap, and a meal. We'll have a detailed itinerary soon.
PARENTS: If you want to attend as well, it is $25. You can come as a chaperone (and ride the bus), or as a "tag-a-long," which means you provide your own transportation. Your $25 must be paid by THURSDAY (after the Preview Show). Make checks payable to SCHS.

IMPORTANT: Late payments cannot be accepted!

HELP NEEDED - AUGUST 14

Mrs. O is having a Beginning Band Jumpstart Day on Saturday, August 14. New 6th grade band members will get their instruments that day, and each section will have an college student to help them learn how to put the instruments together, care for the instrument, and make the all-important first sound. We need some high school students to help. Free pizza if you sign up! https://forms.gle/E24iTzsZKAjCF4v4A

PICTURES

It's not too late to place a picture order! Don't miss out on the opportunity to have your memories kept in the form of a professional photo. Turn in picture money by THURSDAY (after the Preview Show).
