THOUGHT OF THE WEEK

THIS WEEK:

MONDAY, July 31:  BAND CAMP (full band), 8 a.m. - noon
(I need 1-2 strong backs to help me acquire a piano from a friend in Statesboro on Monday.  We'll leave SCES at 4:45 p.m.; you can ride in the band truck.  Free pizza on the way home.  The first two people to text me on the band hotline get to go with us.)

TUESDAY, August 1:  BAND CAMP (full band), 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.  PICTURE DAY!  Bring a sack lunch.  

THURSDAY, August 3:  BAND CAMP (full band), 6 - 9 p.m.

NEXT WEEK:

MONDAY, August 7:  Help move into the Band Room!  This is optional, but we need plenty of help.  Details TBA

TUESDAY, August 8:  BAND CAMP (full band), 6 - 9 p.m. at SCHS

THURSDAY, August 10:  Family and Friends Preview Show, 8:00 p.m.
9th Graders, attend 9th grade orientation, then join us on the practice field.
Everyone else, report time is 7:15 (subject to change; we'll update this week).  (My apologies; the handout at orientation had the wrong time for this.)
