*If your birthday is this month and your name isn't here, it's because I don't have your birthday on my list. Send it to me and I'll add you to the list!
Great information from the folks at Marching Health! If you've been indoors all summer, GET OUTSIDE! Take a walk! Cut the grass! Get your body ready for the heat.
PARENT/STUDENT ORIENTATION
PARENT/STUDENT ORIENTATION
SCGMB Parent/Student Orientation is THURSDAY, JULY 10th. At orientation, you will:
complete your 2025-2026 Medical Release form
Pay (or make arrangements to pay) the remaining balance of your band fees ($60 for most people)
Get sized for a uniform
Order supplies (shoes, UA shirt, etc.)
Order "swag" (hoodie, ballcap, etc.)
Learn the latest info about Band Camp
and more!
The 5:30 session is for brass and percussion; the 6:30 session is for woodwinds. The sessions are essentially the same, so if the earlier or later time works better for your schedule, that's fine.
Get a head start - download and fill out your 2025-2026 Medical Release form.

Solo 2 is any low brass instrument.
Solo 3 is also in Part 2 and is for flute or clarinet.
