Band Camp II - Last Minute Reminders

Parents and Students,


Here are some last minute reminders for Band Camp......

  1. Meet your section leader by 8:50 AM on Saturday morning in the GHS cafeteria.  Rehearsal begins at 9:00.
  2. Students will need to bring lunch, dinner, snacks and plenty of water and gatorade.
  3. Bring a full set of clothes to change in to after the morning session.  Flip flops are allowed during the 1:30 to 5:00 music sessions.
  4. Gold Bond is your best friend.  Don't wait until you are chaffed to think about it.
  5. Start hydrating now.  Use a mixture of water and gatorade.
  6. Avoid coffee, energy drinks, dairy, soda, heavy greasy foods and anything else you know that may upset your tummy.  You don't want to throw up within the first 30 minutes of camp.
  7. Eat breakfast before you come to camp.  Krispy Kreme is not a good breakfast.  Make sure you get some protein, vitamins, and carbs before you come to camp.
  8. 8You need to have your dot book ready before you get to camp.  We plan to learn 4 sets before lunch Saturday and we plan to have 8 - 10 sets done before we finish Saturday.
  9. Make sure your instrument works now.  Don't show up with a broken horn.
  10. Camp fees can be turned into Mrs. Hummel at anytime before, after or during breaks each day of camp.  Camp fees are $100.00 and checks can be made out to GHS Band Boosters.  To receive your travel uniform, you will need to have paid both the Band Camp 1 and Band Camp 2 fees.  These two camp fees are the first payments towards your fair share.
  11. Remember to bring a pencil as there will be plenty of things to write.  Also, remember all of your music, drill, dot books, folders, etc that you will need for rehearsal.
  12. Please bring a hat, sun glasses, sun block and any other sun safety items.  We will be outside from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM and 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM each day.
  13. Bring a beach towel!
  14. Be ready to defend your State Championship.  The quest begins Saturday.
