1)  The final June rehearsal is this Wednesday.  I have really enjoyed these rehearsals and love hearing the band come together in sound.  I also really appreciate the great job everyone did of communicating over the past month!

2)  Leadership Team members who are going to Memphis Friday will meet at 6:30 am at the band room.

3)  Band Camp tip of the week:  Get sleep!  Do not stay up to all hours of the night that week playing games or watching TV.  It will help with your stamina, energy, mood, and focus.

1)  Our 3rd June rehearsal is this Wednesday.  Woodwinds and brass from 8-11 am, and percussion and guard from 1-4 pm.  Thank you to everyone who have been communicating with me on when you are gone.  It really does help when we are taking attendance!

2)  Band Camp Tip of the week:  Start eating healthier to prepare for the heat and energy needed for band camp.  Limit your sugar intake, eat more fruit and less chips, drink a glass of orange juice a day, and get into a good habit of drinking water when you are thirsty.  All these things will help you breeze through band camp this year!

1)  Our second June rehearsal is this Wednesday.  Brass and woodwinds from 8-11 am, and percussion and guard from 1-4 pm.  Come dressed ready to go outside for a few minutes to start some fundamentals.  

2) Leadership team will meet at 9 am on Tuesday in the Band Room to prepare for the upcoming marching season.

3)  It's never too early to look for deals on bottled water.  Any chance you get a good deal, pick up a pack or two and bring to the band room so that we have them ready to hydrate the students during band camp and the first half of the marching season.

4)  Students: start spending time outside getting acclimated to the heat.  The more time you spend outside, the less of a shock the heat of band camp will be.
