Hi, hey, hello!
I am excited to announce that we will be starting percussion and color guard rehearsals beginning next week, Monday, June 15! To do this, we have had to put together a list of procedures. You can find the band procedures HERE. Rehearsal breakdowns and locations from June 15-July 1 can be found HERE. It is necessary to read these letters and to understand all procedures. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. A few things to keep in mind: 1. All rehearsals at this point are optional. Communication is still a priority, however, so make sure to communicate with myself, Paige, and/or Alex when not being able to attend rehearsals. 2. BRING YOUR OWN WATER. There will NOT be water available to you at rehearsals. Water fountains are off limits. 3. The groups that you have been separated into are not up to change at this time. In this phase of rehearsals, the state is adamant that students do not mingle among other groups or switch groups. 4. Color Guard - go to the front of the high school for your check in. 5. Percussion - only enter through the back doors (by the football stadium) for your check in. 6. Arrive up to a half hour early. Be aware that you may not be able to enter at that time. You may NOT enter the building without the check in. 7. Maintain social distancing at all times. The rehearsals that have been added in July for winds are still on the calendar and more information will be coming out about those soon. Phase 1, which we are currently in, restricts numbers of students to 9 students with 1 instructor. Phase 2 enlarges the group number. It is my hope that we are in that phase before our July 6 winds rehearsal. My fingers are crossed! Remind & Facebook Please sign up for the Reminds from me.

Hi, hey, hello!
FUNdamentals Camp - June 8-11 Due to the state just releasing athletic guidelines on Friday of this past week, this camp will be cancelled. We simply did not have enough time to plan accordingly with safety in mind first. This camp will NOT be rescheduled, but it is possible that we may add certain dates in July to make up for us missing this time. See the new schedule below and please try to make it to these rehearsal dates. Color guard rehearsals for this week have also been cancelled. June Rehearsals We are working on planning out color guard and percussion rehearsals for the rest of June, starting on June 15. I will be sending out another email next weekend about these rehearsals. Our first priority is safety and all decisions will be based around this.
