BAND CAMP REMINDERS

Hey Cavaliers! Band Camp is so close! Guard, Percussion, and Leadership will be at the high school Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th from 9am to 5pm, and we'll all be together starting Monday the 21st! Check the band website for all times and dates. Here are some important band camp reminders and necessities.

🎉POOL PARTY: Saturday, July 19th at Starmont Pool (Danville) from 8pm-10pm. Parents will have their first CBPA meeting of the year with important updates. All marching band students and families are invited!

💧WATER- During camp, we will be outside during large portions of the day. We will be physically active often. If you aren't hydrated, you will be miserable! Bring plenty of water!

👟SHOES- You should be wearing tennis shoes at camp. If your shoe can fold like a taco shell, it's not suitable for marching band! NO Vans, Converse, Flip-flops, Sandals, Slides, Crocs, etc.

🍇LUNCH- Make sure to bring a lunch every day! This meal will be vital to your daily mood and energy. Participating on an empty stomach will make you feel ill. July 16-17 and 21-25, everyone needs to pack a lunch. All meals for our last week should be provided, but stay tuned for the menu. If you know of a church or restaurant that could provide a meal, please contact Mr. Epperly!

☀️️PROTECTANT- Trust me, you don't want to get burnt at camp. Bring sunscreen and bugspray! I also strongly suggest a hat and sunglasses.

✏️PENCIL- You will be writing in your music during sectional time! I also encourage you to bring paper to take notes.

😁ATTITUDE- We are going to have a blast at band camp! We are so excited to start this season, and we hope you come with an open mind!
