Band Camp 1 has come to a close and it was nice to see ... and hear ... the progress that was made as we viewed the performance last night. Thanks to all parents who came to the new parent meeting, and to watch the performance.
A few nuggets from last night that you won't find in any of the paperwork that was distributed:
- The students have in excess of 100,000 responsibilities during the upcoming show - between notes played and steps taken. Pretty amazing!
- If you can sew, Mr. Pirzer needs you. 110 capes must be cut and sewn, and this will happen sometime during the summer. Further communication will be forthcoming.
- Please remember to ask your students to bring home their sweaty clothes each day during band camp 2. The bin room will be a nicer smelling place as a result.
- To get a sense of the upcoming performance, search for Santa Clara Vanguard 2004 on google video.
- Students, please try to find some time over the summer to meet with your section and practice - particularly jazz running - since the rain cut us short in band camp 1.
Have a nice summer, everyone, and we will see you on August 7 to begin band camp 2. Several communications will come out between now and then to confirm the volunteer schedule, so be on the lookout! Also, if you did not turn your pink communications sheet in to me, feel free to just email me at the ghsbandnews@gmail.com address with the requested information.
