Band Camp updates this week
Band Camp runs from 9:00-9:00 this week. Students should arrive around 8:45. It promises to be HOT today – hats, sunscreen, and plenty of water is essential. Be sure you eat a breakfast and drink plenty of water in the morning – those who don’t will be the ones who feel faint!
Yesteday was a GREAT first day! (some photos here) Most students turned in their paperwork – if you didn’t, it needs to come in today, especially the emergency health form. We must know who to contact in case of a problem.
