Hi, hey, hello!
While the end of this school year has been nothing but challenges and obstacles, I do hope you all are gearing up to enjoy your summer! Take the opportunity this summer to wind down, relax - always be cognizant and aware of what's happening, but unplug from social media and just breathe for awhile. Every single one of you deserves it. This is the final update for this school year. Throughout the summer, I'll typically only send month updates, unless something important is coming up. Since this summer is already a little atypical, please count on emails from me bi-weekly. If you haven't already signed up for the Remind, please do so by clicking here and following the directions. Awards Pick-Up - Current CM Band Students ONLY Awards pick up is TODAY from 3pm-6pm in the circle drive. For those students who have school owned instruments, plan on bringing them to the school today. If you are wanting to keep the instrument at home to practice, simply communicate that with me. Jackets will be for sale today at $25. Let me know what size you would like so that I can be prepared and pay with cash or check to CMHS Bands. GoogleMeetings - SPECIFIC STUDENTS This week's meetings are held for specific students. Please plan on being at these meetings this week! Thursday, May 28 - 2020-2021 Senior Meeting (1pm) Friday, May 29 - Student Leader Meeting (1pm) Important Dates for 2020-2021 - ALL STUDENTS/PARENTS A full calendar will be given out at the meeting once it's rescheduled, but please plan around the following dates. You may see a working calendar HERE - this calendar is NOT finalized. While vacations are important, so is attendance at these dates over the summer. As of now, our Marching Eagles first performance is the first week of school so we have to meet during the summer to ensure that we are ready to go! Unless we hear differently from government and school officials, these camps are scheduled as follows: Percussion Rehearsals - Front Ensemble meets on Mondays and Wednesdays from 12:30pm-2:30pm. Battery meets on Mondays and Wednesdays from 3pm-5pm. Color Guard Rehearsals - Color Guard meets on Mondays and Wednesdays from 1pm-3pm. - June 8-June 11 (8am-12pm) - FUNdamentals Camp This camp is for incoming freshmen, sophomores, and student leaders. Color Guard does NOT attend this camp, but percussionists do from 8am-10am. We focus on marching fundamentals and start to look at the show music. - July 20-July 24 (Times vary) - Music Camp This camp is for ALL musicians. This is where we focus on the music for our field show. The break down of the schedule is as follows: Woodwinds - July 20 (9am-12pm), July 22 (9am-12pm), and July 24 (1pm-4pm) Brass - July 20 (1pm-4pm), July 22 (1pm-4pm), and July 24 (1pm-4pm) Percussion - July 20-24 (1pm-4pm) - July 27-31 (8am-3pm) - Color Guard Camp This camp is for color guard ONLY. - August 3-August 7 (8am-6pm) - Band Camp This camp is for ALL of the Marching Eagles and is essential to what we do. It combines what we have learned at FUNdamentals Camp and Music Camp with our drill (where we move on the field while performing).
