Clark High School Band
Weekly Update (August 3 - 7)
ANNOUNCEMENTS
What a GREAT week we had last week for full band camp!! I cannot begin to express my thanks and gratitude to the students for following all guidelines and for parents for trusting us with your students and a big thank you to the parents who have volunteered with morning check ins!
Some important items:
- MTK registration and gear orders...if you did not do this in May/June, please take care of this immediately (instructions below under MTK Registration).
- Hydrate today for tomorrow! Eat a smart breakfast each morning.
- Submit COVID self screening each day prior to arriving on campus.
Each student MUST have the following items for band camp:
- 1 gallon water cooler (with name clearly marked on it). There will not be access to additional water sources/drinking fountains during our rehearsals, therefore a 1 gallon water jug should prove adequate for the duration of time we will be outside. As a note, please water & ice only in jugs. Avoid gaterade/powerade...they are full of sugars. If you want a source of electrolytes, I personally recommend NUUN tablets to add to water.
- A hat or visor (to keep sun from face/eyes)
- Flip folder
- Lyre (specific for your instrument)
- Wire music stand (for outside playing rehearsals). *Bring clothes pins or clips to secure music to your stand as we will be outside* There will be no sharing of stands as we will be mandating the 6 - 10 feet social distancing guidelines at all times.
- Athletic shoes (absolutely no sandals, boots, flip flops, etc)
- Athletic shorts/shirts (preferably moisture wicking tech fabrics...avoid cotton at all costs...trust me on this as an athlete!)
- A towel (check with section leaders for size and color). We use towels outside to place instrument on when not used for marching/playing.
- Individual hand sanitizer to keep in students bag
Our updated band camp calendar is posted below and should be updated in our Clark Band Google Calendar.
Have a GREAT week!

Restaurant Night (Mama's Pizza)
We are doing Cluster Community Nights this fall to support some of the local restaurants that have been so generous to us over the years with Spirit Nights. This is not a fundraiser, but a chance to give back to our community.
Our first one is Aug 10 at Mama’s Pizza. They are struggling to stay in business right now and have been a huge supporter of our entire Cluster for many years so it’s our turn to help them.
