From Mr. Clemente
It's "Marching Band Camp Eve" and I'm looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow morning!
In case you missed last week's newsletter, I've kept all the information below. Please be sure you've read it over to be sure everyone is prepared for tomorrow morning.
As a reminder to all our new students and families (and equally to our returning students and families), all our rehearsals begin promptly on time. When you see that marching band camp begins at 9:00 AM, instruction begins at 9:00 AM. Students should be in the Band room ready for rehearsal no later that 10-15 minutes before instruction begins so that they can be aware of the "where and when" for the upcoming rehearsal.
See everyone bright and early tomorrow morning! Let's have a great year!
Mr. Clemente
I'd like to direct your attention to some materials before marching band camp starts up on Monday, 7/29. Please click on the links below for information.
General Marching Band Information
What Do I Need for Marching Band?
You'll find lots of information in the above links, but here are some key points:
- Marching band camp runs 7/29 - 8/2 and 8/5 - 8/8. Rehearsals start at 9:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM, with lunch at 12:00 PM
- See above for what to bring, but take the time now to get outside and used to being in the heat. Marching band is a primarily outdoor activity, and students should start to become acclimated to our wonderful Florida weather by taking a walk, doing some work around the outside of the house, mowing the lawn, playing frisbee, etc. Coming straight from the couch watching TV all summer to band camp does not set you up well for the heat.
- Sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses are essential! Students will have lots of time to reapply sunscreen when we are out for longer periods of time.
- Instrument in good working order.
- Both Pre-Game and Halftime music, printed and in a 3-ring binder with page protectors. Pre-Game music is linked above, and students should have Halftime music from Mini-Camp back in May.
