Hi, hey, hello!
I'm having a hard time believing June is already gone. It hasn't quite hit me yet... Special Thanks to Warren Beckham and Charles Gross. Charles hooked us up with Warren, who has built two piano carts for us as well as two speaker carts to help with our pit this year. Thank you so much! I've attached some pictures to this email of Grace and Mark helping paint these carts. Schedules and Calendars Just as a reminder of the few dates we have coming up: July 8 and 10 - Woodwinds Music Camp (10am-12pm) July 9 and 11 - Brass Music Camp (10am-12pm) July 8-11 - Percussion Camp (1pm-4pm) July 22-26 - Color Guard Camp (8am-3pm) July 29-August 2 - BAND CAMP! (8am-6pm) Please continue to bring in WATER! This becomes so necessary during the school year, football games and competitions. Percussion Festival This was NOT originally on the calendar, but we have decided to attend the SIUE Percussion Festival this year. It is percussion and drum majors only on Saturday, August 24. More information will be sent out closer to this date. Forms & Payments As a reminder, the medical form is due before any camp attendance. It gives me permission to take care of your child. Order forms with payment are due on July 11 so that way we can ensure everything is ordered and here when it needs to be. You can find copies of all these forms HERE.

(8am-6pm) Friday, Aug. 2 - Band Camp (8am-5pm) - End of Camp Potluck (5pm-7pm) ATTENDANCE Please remember your attendance is VITAL to what we are doing. We are a team (a LARGE TEAM), but a team nonetheless and we can only succeed if everyone is on the same page. Every rehearsal is planned and has goals; I don't like to waste your time and I refuse to do so... but to do that we all have to make sure we are putting in the energy and effort and following instructions as well as the band expectations: 1. Do not talk when a staff member or student leader is talking. 2. Follow instructions the first time. 3. Always try! If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me! Musically yours -- Michaela Davis
