BAND CAMP STARTS MONDAY!
Hi Folks - Just a reminder that we start band camp on Monday. Please refer to the schedule below, check out the necessary items to bring to camp, and have your child bring their signed waiver and medical forms. It looks like it's going to be a hot one, so be sure to bring plenty of water and your own snacks. Make sure your child knows about the spirit wear days listed below.
In addition to the waiver form and medical form, each student MUST fill out the COVID-19 questionnaire BEFORE reporting to band camp this week. They should be able to easily do this on their cell phone and takes less than 30 seconds. If they are unable to fill it out, one of the staff members will fill the form out for them when they arrive.
CLICK HERE to fill out the form. I will also send this out via Remind.
Thank you to the band boosters who have rented a large tent for us for extra shade!

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
