Many of you have been asking about dates for band camp. The district has had our calendar meeting for next year, so now I have most of the information I need to make decisions on next year’s schedule. Due to the school year starting earlier next year, I originally thought that we would need to start around July 22 for Camp. However, the first football game is not until Aug. 30th, so we will not need to rush as much as originally thought. The dates below are what we are going with, so you can plan accordingly:

• Squad leader/ Field Commander Meeting: July 29th 10am-11:30am
• Percussion camp: July 29-Aug. 2 8am-3pm (Drumline Uniform Fitting – during practice on July 30th)
• New Marchers and Squad Leaders: July 30th-July 31 8am-12pm
• New Marcher Parent Info Meeting: Aug.1 6:30pm
• Full Band Review (plus Returner Uniform Fitting – after practice) Aug. 1st 8am-12pm
• Full Band Camp Aug. 5th-8th 8am-5pm
• Uniform Issue night Aug. 6th 6-8pm
• Full Band Camp Aug. 9th 8am-1:30pm (Picture Day)
• Door to Door Membership Drive SATURDAY August 10th (Time TBA)
• There will be evening practices the week of Aug. 12 (Time TBA)
• First Day of School Aug. 15th

Thanks, Darren Allen

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. Believe it or not, it is already time to start preparing for the 27th Annual Ballroom Blitz. This dinner dance features our Jazz Ensemble, Stage Band, Middle School Jazz Band and Choraleers.

We are currently looking for volunteers to help collect donations for our silent auction. If your are interested in becoming a member of our fundraising committee, please email me at tjdeibel06@gmail.com. There will be a meeting in February where we will explain the process in greater detail.
