Band T-Shirts
The students that came to practice received their band T-shirts for this semester. Everyone else will receive them at the next rehearsal. Be sure to keep up with these, as they will be required to wear them at all football games and competitions. These T-shirts were part of their band camp fees, so there is no further cost for the shirts.
If any parents, family, or friends want a Band T-shirt, I will be selling them at cost for $10. However, I need to send it all in on one order. So I need to get the size of everyone that wants one - and the money! - by Friday, August 13th. This way I can get them made in time for the first Home game on August 23. I will have a sign-up sheet in the Band Room, or you can simply send me the sizes by email before you send the money. Remember - sizes and money are both due by August 13th.
By the way, please make all checks out to SGCHS or South Gibson County High School. Do not put "Band". It all runs through the school (we have our own sub-account), so the bank doesn't like to have anything other than the school's name on the check.

Notes for Rehearsals this week.
Rehearsals this week are from 4-6. Tuesday, because of inservice, I may not be able to be there until right at 4. I will try to have someone come and open the door for everyone before then. And everyone who shows up to Tuesday's rehearsal will get a present! So be there. Thursday, we will get done a few minutes early to get ready for Orientation/Open House. Have a good week!

Change for Exhibition
Tonight at 6 pm, we will be giving the exhibition for the parents in the CAFETORIUM. Because of the heat, we will not be going outside this afternoon during rehearsal, and I do not want the audience to be standing outside in the dangerous heat.

Friday Night
I have added something to the schedule this week. I want the students to give a performance for the parents and family this Friday at 6 pm. If you already had something planned to where you cannot make it, I fully understand. Otherwise, any friends, family, and acquaintances of band members are invited to attend the exhibition performance of "Let's Have Some Fun!"

Request for Tent
As we prepare for this week, we are in need of a tent of some sort to keep us out of the sun during breaks. I have already contacted Medina Funeral Home, who were gracious but had already lent theirs out. I want to thank everyone for a great beginning to band camp last week, where we got lots done to prepare for this coming week!

It is Time!!!
It is finally time to start working toward our first ever competitive marching season. Band Camp is Thursday and Friday (July 22-23) from 8 am to 12 pm, and Monday through Friday (July 26-30) from 8 am to 5 pm. Here are some things to remember:
We will be outside quite a bit. Eat a good breakfast, bring water or gatorade to the school (please stay away from soft drinks, and absolutely no energy drinks). Dress appropriately (white t-shirt, shorts, tennis shoes). I suggest you bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and maybe an extra t-shirt or towel to put over your head while you are outside. The 2nd week, lunch will be from 11:45 to 12:45. You will have to take care of your own lunch. Feel free to bring a cooler with sandwiches or other types of lunches.
Finally, Everyone needs a small notepad for band camp. I want you to have the cheap small 3" x 5" notepads. You will use these to write down your position on the field as we start setting the pictures on the football field.
The drill (pictures that we make on the football field) has been written, and everyone has a place to fill, so be prepared to represent SGCHS proudly as a member of the Marching Band!
