Announcements 7/22/18

1)  We will have our other two half days of Band Camp this Monday and Tuesday from 8 am to noon.  Please be on the practice field ready for the stretch routine at 8 am both days.

2)  We will have a night rehearsal on Thursday from 6-8 pm due to teacher inservice that day.  

3)  Parents working on the prop - we will have a work night on Tuesday starting at 6:30 pm.  We will start working on welding the columns and bending some of the pipe.  

4)  The Smart Discount Card fundraiser has begun.  We are doing it slightly differently this year with a few options.  You can either sell them traditionally "door-to-door" or to family and friends or you can think of 10-20 phone numbers to call or text.  On Tuesday, we will spend time calling these numbers as a group with each band member calling or texting each number on their list asking them if they want to purchase a Smart Card.  Other programs have done this with success as it brings more accountability to simply asking people if they want to buy one.  They can't say yes if they are never asked.  One other option for this year - if you do not want to sell smart cards, simply bring in $50 and that will help us reach our goal for this fundraiser to keep our budget in good shape for the coming marching season.  

4)  I want to thank the students and parents for a great week of Band Camp last week!  Your great attitudes, hard work, and fun left an impression on the staff that left them wanting more after it was all over.  They are really excited for the potential that this band has for this year and told me they will be following our progress throughout the marching season.  Let's keep it going this week as we continue to improve with each rehearsal!
