News From the Band Room
ELCO RAIDER BAND
Band Camp Complete!
Thank you to the staff and student leadership team for assisting all of the band members in learning their music and drill. Overall, I think all of the kids had a good time and were very positive throughout the week.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to all of the parents who showed up this week to help in one way or another. The help with uniforms, cookout, snacks, drinks, and logistics in general always makes band camp run more smoothly.
A few reminders for the next couple of weeks:
PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE! - We worked hard to learn all of the drill and the music, please make sure your children practice to build up endurance and keep things fresh in their heads. Videos of the drill with the music are available on the ELCO Raider Band Website.
THURSDAY NIGHT PRACTICES - We will be practicing from 6-8:30pm every Thursday night between now and August 29th. Please make every effort to make it to these practices. It is important to review the music and drill.
ABSENCES - If you will be on vacation or unable to make a rehearsal, please email me the date(s). A number of kids told me, but I will not be able to remember. An email is helpful.
INSTRUMENT MAINTENANCE - If your child's personal instrument is not working properly, please make a point to get it into Lōser's Music to have it repaired ASAP. Other band camps will start up in the next few weeks and they will get busy. At this point of the summer, they should be able to get your instrument back within a week or so. They will even supply you with a loaner instrument if you need one.
As always, if you have any questions, please email me and let me know.
Thanks,
Mr. Fair
