New Member Reminders - Hype Day Tomorrow!
Hype Day and registration are coming up tomorrow and I wanted to send a quick reminder to everyone.
Hype Day begins at 10a, please plan on arriving at WHS by 9:45 to get ready for the day.
Registration will be open from 9am-1pm. Please make sure you go through registration and finish all required paperwork for the Boosters. We will have a parent meeting at 3:30p in the Auditorium to recap what is coming up for the summer and fall semester.
We look forward to seeing you tomorrow!
(all incoming 8th graders are required to attend both Hype/Registration and New Member Camp days (5-7p), this is a continuation of what materials will be taught on Hype Day and allow us to work in small groups with the 2019 leadership team for individual help)
Also, please do not forget about the required physicals for marching season. If you have completed it, please provide a copy at registration. All others will be collected on July 24 at Band Camp.
Hype Day/Registration Details
Tips for Hype Day:
- Bring plenty of water - 1 gallon recommended
- Bring a snack to replenish energy - cliff bars, protein bars, etc.
- Wear light color athletic clothing - we will be very active and you will want to be able to move comfortably
- Do not wear long pants
- wear tennis shoes; converse/vans are not supportive enough, you will need to wear athletic tennis shoes
- Bring your instrument or Mouthpiece only for Baritone/Tuba players
- Arrive early to get to know people
Please email Mr. Smith (smithchr@friscoisd.org) if you have any questions!
