Greetings band students and parents! It's that time of year again (if you are an upperclassman) and to our incoming freshmen, welcome! Summer Band Camp is approaching quickly and below are all of the details you need to know:
Where to go and when:
Band Camp #1: June 14th thru 17th, 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. All students report to the band room no later than 10 minutes prior to start time.
Band Camp #2: August 7th and 9th through 13th, 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Additional details to be provided during Band Camp #1.
What to wear:
Campers must wear a white or mostly white shirt, black shorts, socks (students will not be allowed to march without them), tennis shoes, and instrument, if applicable.
What to bring:
Students should bring a thermos of water or diluted gatorade, sun screen, a cap or visor, a beach towel, and bug spray. There will be short meal break each evening. Meal and snack food items should be light (examples: crackers, pretzels, PBJ sandwiches, energy bars, bananas, oranges, etc.) and should not include candies, cheese, things that melt or easily spoil. Milk products and heavy meals are not recommended before practice, as this tends to upset stomachs in the heat.
Parent Volunteers:
If you signed up to volunteer, please report to the band room (for 1st shift volunteers – start time 4pm) or to the practice field (for 2nd shift volunteers – start time 6:30pm) prior to the time for which you signed up. The signup sheet is posted in the band room, and our Volunteer Coordinator, Mike Grantham, will be communicating directly to those volunteers for whom he has email addresses. We have an average of 4 volunteers per shift each day, and could definitely use more. If you can contribute some time, please contact Mike at 352.258.5978, or on his email listed on this blog.
Any Questions?
Please email any questions to ghsbandnews@gmail.com, and we will answer them promptly.
