LEHS Band Newsletter
Summer Edition #3 (Pre-Summer Camp)
A Note from Mr. Felice
STILL Time to REGISTER for the 2020 Lobo Band!
IMPORTANT - 2020 Summer Band Uniforms - DEADLINE EXTENDED
PepWear has agreed to RE-OPEN the ONLINE STORE (see link below) for the LEHS Band until August 10th. If you have not purchased your "Summer Uniform" yet, please do so before August 10th. This is required for all 2020 Lobo Band members. Please make sure that every student orders the following:
Band Cap, Marching T-Shirt & Khaki Shorts
These three items need to be ordered by everyone, except for Guard. Yes, the khakis must be ordered also. We are transitioning to a uniform khaki that will establish a standardized look across our band.
Thank you!
PS - If you ordered a “Show Shirt”, you should have received a REFUND from PepWear. We are no longer including those on our list of items to purchase for 2020. Please click on the highlighted link below to order YOUR 2020 Summer Band Uniform:
Summer Band Camp (COVID-19)
Please know that we will take any precautions necessary to ensure the safety of our band students at LEHS. Below are some of the things we will be doing and discussing with our students:
1. No students should attend any rehearsal if they are running a fever.
2. Social distancing guidelines will be strongly encouraged. This will be important during the "down times" at rehearsals. Social distancing can easily be enforced outdoors and in the indoor rehearsal spaces. For example, we will not be having any full band rehearsals in the band hall. Those will only occur outdoors and in the auditorium, where students can be spaced adequately apart from each other.
3. Masks need to be brought to every rehearsal. During all "down times" and breaks, masks will be required indoors.
4. Students should bring a water bottle daily, but will be encouraged to NOT share with anyone.
5. Students will be encouraged to use their equipment only and NOT share with anyone else. This includes guard / percussion equipment, as well as band instruments.
6. Students will be assigned individual lockers during camp. No lockers will be shared.
7. Band doors and gym doors will be propped open when appropriate.
8. Every student will have their temperature checked when they arrive in the morning, then again after the lunch break.
9. Staff members will be required to wear masks during any indoor instruction.
10. Hand sanitizer will be issued to every student as they arrive in the morning, then again after lunch.
* The Band Staff is continuing to discuss other precautions that might be taken, in accordance with district and UIL guidelines.
