Good Morning!
Well, Band Camp is almost over. I think the kids had a really good time: they worked hard and played a little. Don't forget to make sure your student is hydrated for today's rehearsal. It's going to be very hot outside.
Team Mohawk is slowly growing and, if it weren't for senior pictures, they'd have a larger group! Wondering what this is all about? Check out yesterday's Picasa album at (link removed).
I can't forget to thank the HHS Band staff. We have a wonderful group helping our students this year. They are talented, dedicated, and enthusiastic and the show wouldn't be this far along without them. THANK YOU STAFF!!!
A special thank you all the parents who donated time, money, food, and supplies this week. Your support above and beyond band fees is greatly appreciated (and needed).
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.
Don't forget the Booster meeting Tuesday evening. The meeting begins at 6:30 and will be held in the main rehearsal hall. I'll have copies of the payment schedule and an updated calendar.
Have a good day!
