Awesome first week of Band Camp everyone! The color guard, front ensemble, battery, and winds made tremendous improvement working on skills necessary to perform the field show. Thank you to all the parents that came to our Parent Meeting last Wednesday. Please fill out the volunteer form so we know what your expertise is to help with! Saturday's "Gahr Wash" and pancake breakfast was a huge success! Thank you to all the students and parents for all your hard work that helped make it happen.
We have a busy week as we prepare for the Band Camp BBQ & Concert on Thursday evening at the GHS Spirit Stage and our first Home Football Game on Friday. Every minute of rehearsal is extremely important, so please stay hydrated, eat, sleep, and continue to review your music and visual. Make sure your student arrives early with all materials, having eaten breakfast.
STUDENTS MUST HAVE THE FOLLOWING:
- 1-gallon water jug
- hat / sunglasses
- athletic clothing & tennis shoes
- sack lunch or $5 (click here for the lunch menu)
- equipment & materials
Students without these items will be sent home for safety reasons.
FLIP FOLDER & LYRE
All winds will need their own flip folder and music lyre by Wednesday for the concert and football game. We will be showing students what these look like. These are available from Mr. Loney. Flip folders are $5 and lyres range from $5-15 depending on the instrument.
DOT BOOK
All marchers (winds, battery, color guard) will need a spiral-bound, 3x5 index card "dot book." We will be showing the students what these look like and what they're used for. These are available from Mr. Loney for $2, or you may go to any office supply store and purchase one on your own.
OFFICIAL BOOSTER MEMBERSHIP
