Good afternoon!!!
Announcements:
Great job at June rehearsals. Just remember that should be the worst we sound. We should be better every day!
If I do not have your health forms, I need them before you are able to go outside for camp. If you don't go outside, you lose your spot!
Reminder that the last band fee is due next week by the end of band camp. If you are needing to set up a payment plan, please see myself and Mrs. Brooke.
Make sure you stay up to date with our band calendar!
Things to bring to camp!!!
(Required)
Music
Pencil
Dot book
Red Towel
1 Gallon Water Jug (filled with water, not gatorade)
Sunscreen
Bug Spray
A hat
Pack a nutritious snack-nothing heavy! Fruit is always a good option! Peanut butter and crackers are great too!
A great attitude ready to learn and rock "UPLOAD"!!!!
Things to remember for camp!!!
1. Drink water
2. Substitute energy drinks with……water
3. Get acclimated to this HEAT. Spend time outside!! You can drink water while you’re getting comfortable outside.
4. STRETCH!!!! You’ll thank yourself come the third and fourth day of band camp.
5. Get back on “decent” sleep schedule. You need to be awake at 8 not just able to stand up without falling asleep at 8.
6. Eat some sort of breakfast. No, it doesn’t need to be a big breakfast but you need to have something on your stomach before the heat starts to take it out of you. EAT BREAKFAST!!!
7. You also need to be running if you can. We will be doing a lot harder drill this year. There will be jazz running in the show. Go run. We will run 3 laps every day this week we have camp.
8. DRINK WATER
The drill is hard!!! Jazz running is involved so you need to be moving!!!
Make sure that you have downloaded the Band app and have joined our class. This is taking the place of remind. We will not be using remind anymore. https://band.us/n/a4a5687fZfyag
