BAND CAMP APPROACHING!
Hi Folks - THANK YOU for a great turnout for the band booster meeting last night to discuss important information and changes to band camp for July 20-24th. I know it was a lot of information in a short amount of time. I have attached the document of information which was discussed concerning health and safety protocols as well as the changes to the schedule. We had a fantastic first drumline rehearsal. The students seemed happy to be back making music together in person. I want to thank them for their cooperation with socially distancing and wearing their masks.
Music has been posted to the ELCO Raider Band Website HERE.

I created more space on the @elcoband remind account. If you are not signed up, please see the information below.
Some general important reminders for band camp:
- Wear socks and sneakers (no flip-flops or sandals) We will be marching!
- Bring Sunblock, hand sanitizer, and a LARGE water thermos. Hydration will not be provided this year.
- EAT BREAKFAST or LUNCH before reporting for your scheduled time at camp and bring any snacks you would like. However, NO nuts please. We have students with allergies.
- Student Drivers - Please park towards the stadium side of the parking lot
- PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE your instrument every day between now and July 20th! Work on learning/memorizing your show music. You need to build up endurance for camp.
We will be having spirit dress days for each day of camp:
- Monday - Class Colors - Seniors: White, Juniors: Green, Sophomores: Blue, Freshmen - Red
- Tuesday - Twin Day, dress the same way as a friend or entire section!
- Wednesday - Whacky Wednesday - Tye Dye or Crazy Socks or BOTH
- Thursday - Disney Day (Remember...Disney owns Star Wars ;)
- Freedom Friday - Wear Red, White, and Blue!
As always, if you have any questions, please email Mr. Fair dfair@elcosd.org
Thank You!
