Hello Everyone!
It has already been a long week for the kids, but the hard part of Band Camp is over. Day 3. Phew! This link will take you to a "private" Picasa site where I uploaded pictures taken throughout the day today. We'd like you to experience "a day in the life of band camp." (link removed)
Information about Saturday is now available.
The kids will need to be at school and ready for rehearsal by 12:00 p.m. (This means they'll need to be at the school at least 10 minutes early to get their instruments, etc. and head to the rehearsal location.) Rehearsal will end at 1:30 with a "sneak preview" of the show at 1:30. During this time, all family members are encouraged to attend. The kids will be dismissed at 2:00. Now, the show isn't 30 minutes long, the extra time is allowed for the directors to work with the kids. You can think of this as a "public rehearsal."
After rehearsal, all band members are invited to a pool party at Westmeade Swim Club. Admission is $2. There is a full service Hut for food, so the kids may need a little extra snack money. The pool is a private membership pool and there are life guards on duty. (The party is listed as the "Reeder Party" and scheduled 2-5.) The party is optional and band members will need to make arrangements to get to and from the pool.
Dinner is being organized by sections this week.
Thursday (pancakes) Brass
Friday (sandwiches) Drumline
(We also have left over burgers and dogs for those who would prefer something different, not to mention PBJ.)
Please join us at our first Band Booster meeting Tuesday, August 5 at 6:30 in the main Rehearsal Hall. This will be a good time to meet the Executive Board and learn more about the directors' vision for the program and ways to participate as a parent.
Have a good day!
