A note from your directors...
Please make sure Band Camp and Music Camp are on your calendar-
August 5,6,7,8,9 Music Camp 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Uniform fittings will take place the week of August 5th
August 12,13,14,15,16 Marching Camp @ LONGFELLOW MS 2:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Please know that due to the construction happening with the North Athletic field we WILL BE HOLDING BAND CAMP AT LONGFELLOW MS.
Thank you for your understanding! We are incredibly excited about the new activity field that is being built and we cannot wait to start practicing on a real Football field!
It is extremely important for your student to be in attendance for Music and Marching Camps. Please be sure to encourage your student to coordinate their work schedules around these dates. To avoid re-teaching the first few weeks of school, we need to have as many students in attendance during camp as possible. Fall athletic conflicts are unavoidable, the Band Directors and the Coaches have your students best interest in mind. Please be sure that one of the Band Directors is aware of your students athletic commitment so that they are not penalized for missing camp. Athletes are expected to be at Marching Camp when they are not in practice.
Thank you for all your do to support your child's involvement in the Wauwatosa East Band program. Please do not hesitate to contact us with questions or concerns.

Fourth of July RSVP
Dear East Bands Parents and Band Members:
As of this writing, the Red Raider Marching Band is scheduled to perform at the City of Wauwatosa July 4 Parade. As is our practice, the performance offer was accepted with the caveat that the band’s appearance is dependent upon student availability. It is our expectation that if a band student is in town on July 4, they will participate in this performance. It is one of many gifts we give the community. This performance is for all students currently in the band program, grades 9-12. Graduated seniors are invited and encouraged to participate. Section Leaders are required to participate as per your Section Leader Agreement.
Simply stated, we need to know if we will have enough students to participate in this event. Please fill out and return this form to us by Tuesday May 28th.
You may also e-mail a response to Mrs. Lato at latoje@wauwatosa.k12.wi.us by Friday May 28th.

Need an instrument over the summer?
Instruments are starting to go in for their annual repairs/cleanings.
We are able to request that instruments are back before the end of the school year but we need to know ASAP.
As per your rental agreement instrument- damage beyond normal wear and tear will be up to the student to pay for the repair cost. We will address this on a case by case basis and you will be contacted if this is needed.
We suggest having a conversation with your student, this might prevent any surprises. They know if they have dropped or banged their instrument into something throughout the school year and will be able to tell you if their instrument is going to need a dent or bell wrinkle repair.
