Hi, hey, hello!
Our 2021 Marching Eagles Band Camp is NEXT WEEK, August 2-6 from 8am-6pm every day. These are highly productive days and they allow our band to learn most of the field show that we perform at football games and competitions. This camp is crucial to our success as a band. Below is the daily general schedule. The specific schedule will be written on the white board in the auditorium every day. Band Camp Schedule 8am-10am - Stretching, conditioning, movement block, marching block 10am-12:30pm - Drill 12:30pm-2pm - Lunch (Uniform fittings) 2pm-4pm - Music 4pm-6pm - Drill with music Lunch Our lunch will be open campus which means students are allowed to leave for lunch. However, this is a privilege, not a right. Students are expected to be back at the school in their assigned location at 2pm or whatever time is communicated before lunch dismissal. If students take advantage of this open campus (are late to the 2pm start time, causing chaos at other locations, etc.), then lunch will be closed. For those students that cannot leave campus, they may eat lunch in the commons. There will always be an adult in the building during this time. Uniform Fittings During lunchtime is when marching band uniform fittings will take place. Plan on staying for lunch the following days: Monday - Seniors + Juniors Tuesday - Sophomores + Freshmen Wednesday - Freshmen + anyone not fitted the previous days Thursday - Anyone not fitted the previous days Friday - Anyone not fitted the previous days If you do not attend band camp, you will have to schedule a time with our uniform student leaders and parents to get your uniform fitted. Theme Days To help make band camp a little more fun, our drum majors have come up with theme days! Monday - Marvel vs. DC Wear something to represent your favorite superhero! If you can't choose, mix and match! (We won't tell!) Tuesday - Tropical Tuesday Wear your best-work Hawaiian shirt and bring out all the leis while we encourage you to wear a strip of sunscreen down your nose! It's vacation day at band camp! Wednesday - On Wednesday, We Wear Pink This Wednesday, you CAN sit with us! Wear your best pink outfits in honor of the timeless classic, Mean Girls! Thursday - Color Wars What section is the best? This is the day to find out. Wear your section color to show your spirit! - Flutes: purple - Clarinets: pink - Saxophones: red - High brass: blue - Low brass: green - Percussion: tie-dye - Color guard: teal - Drum majors: white - Staff: gray Friday - Show Shirts After a long week of hard work, it's time to wear the shirts that represent it all! Students will receive these on the Wednesday or Thursday of band camp. What to Bring to Band Camp Drum majors have come up with a list of necessities for band camp. Please reach out to your student leader for anything else they might suggest you bring! Please see the email for the picture of this list. Band camp is a wonderful bonding opportunity for our band and the amount of growth we see from day 1 to day 3 to day 5 is extraordinary! You will go home exhausted - as you should! - but you will also go home feeling accomplished. Take care of your bodies and minds this upcoming week and treat yourself with kindness. We are all in this together! An updated fall calendar will be coming out the first week of school. As a reminder, you can always visit the band website for the most recent calendar. CLICK HERE. I was able to stop by the color guard's camp this morning and they performed the whole show for me. It was amazing! The best part of band camp is putting all the sections together: color guard, percussion, and winds and creating the full show. I'm so excited for not only the end result of the show, but the journey that we take to get there! If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me! Musically yours -- Michaela Davis
