Band Camp Changes

Marching Coalers,
I hope you all are having a great summer! I know my family and I have. The girls have been swimming, starting piano lessons and going to the zoo. It has been great to spend so much time with them. Well, if you have driven by the High School, you have seen the big changes that are in store for us as we return for band camp. With those changes, we will have to make some adjustments for band camp. All the times are the same; we are just going to change the location. The Elementary School has been gracious to welcome us over for camp. We will have places to practice indoors and our own practice field.
When you come to band camp, you will need to make sure you are prepared. Things you will need are: your instrument, any supplies (reeds, oil, sticks…), comfortable shoes (no sandals or flip flops) suntan lotion, water bottle and appropriate clothing.
Here is our schedule:
July 29 Wednesday, Officer/ Section Leaders/ Drum Majors Meeting 10:00 am at the High School . We will be loading the band trailer with our equipment to take to the Elementary School.

All these Practices have been moved to the Elementary School:
