From the director
Summer band is just around the corner, and we want to make sure everyone is ready to go! This is going to be an absolutely incredible year! Let’s make sure we have a few items at the top of our calendars and the front of our lists!!
This week we have the Santa Clara Vanguard Drum and Bugle Corps staying at Johnson High School Friday 22 and Saturday 23. We will send out a Remind message with their rehearsal schedule once we know, so parents and students can come watch and enjoy!
For students who expressed interest in attending the DCI San Antonio Show, we were able to obtain a limited number of tickets. We will send a Google form out this week for students to claim a ticket. Tickets will be issued on a first-come-first-served basis. If you want to attend the DCI Show, you must complete this week's Google form. We will also provide transportation for those students attending the show. After all interested students have been given a ticket, we may have a limited number of tickets for parents. Parents will need to provide their own transportation to San Antonio. The clear bag policy and parking cost information can be found on the DCI website. If we are able to provide transportation for parents we will send that information out in a Remind message, as well! If you are planning to attend, you will want to bring money for food and also souvenirs so you can support your favorite Drum and Bugle Corps!
Color Guard starts summer camp on July 21 & 22; July 25 & 26, SLT and percussion only; and on July 27, 28, and 29 EVERYONE kicks off summer band! We will be issuing uniforms and taking band pictures on Saturday, July 30th. Check the calendar!!! Make sure you are hydrating now for the upcoming time outside and that you have everything you need for summer band!
One of the most important things coming up soon is our BOA FUNDRAISER!!!! Our goal is to fundraise enough funds to cover the entire cost of the BOA Grand Nationals Marching Contest!! This fundraiser is what is going to get us there!! We must have everyone involved and working hard to raise these funds! We will open the GroupFund the week of July 25, and it is all hands on deck with this one! Start planning now. We have to get this fundraiser to reach an incredibly large base of supporters to generate the funds to get us there! WE CAN DO IT!
I hope everyone is as excited as we are for this year!! Between the new leadership team, the awesome number of students taking summer lessons at the Band Hall, the look of the show, the musical arrangements, the drill and the excitement from our parents, prop crew, uniform crew and everyone involved, we are setup for greatness! Now, let’s enjoy this last week of summer and be ready to take the field July 27!!
