TMB Week 2!
Here we go!
Great job to all the TMB students last week during our first week of camp! We know it was a hot week, but everyone handled it like a pro. We hope you enjoyed the water ballon fight and Kona Ice on Friday. Mrs. Fernsberg and I are extremely proud of the progress we made last week and can't wait to see what this week holds! This week should be a tad bit cooler, but still make sure to wear sunscreen, bring hats and sunglasses, and drink plenty of water.
Spirit Week
Every year, the second week of band camp is spirit week. Participation in each spirit day is optional, but can be a lot of fun! Here are the spirit days for this upcoming week:
Band Olympics
We also do Band Olympics the second week of band camp. Band Olympics are friendly competitions each day to see which section is the best at marching-related games. The section with the most points at the end of the week will be given the Band Olympics belt (and bragging rights) to hold onto until the next marching season!
Snack Sign-up
Please consider signing up to bring some snacks for our marching band students during band camp. No items with nuts or coconut, please.
Early dismissal Friday
This Friday, August 4th, students will be dismissed at lunch and will not need to be back at UHS until 5:30 pm for the parent preview performance/band picnic. We wanted to give students the opportunity to rest a bit before their performance. So again, Friday's rehearsal will only be from 9 am-12 pm and the students will not need to return for the normal afternoon block.
Band Picnic/Parent Preview Performance - Friday, August 4th
This Friday, August 4th, we will be having our end of camp Parent Preview Performance as well as a band picnic to follow! It will take place in the football stadium at 6:00 pm. Students need to arrive in their show shirts by 5:30 pm.
Following the performance, there will be grilled hot dogs and hamburgers available, but we need you to bring some sides, drinks, or desserts or help with set up, tear down or grilling. Please sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/9040c49acae2fa57-tmbpicnic#/
