We hope all of you have been enjoying your well-earned summer break! We can't wait to see all of you again soon and hear all about what you have been up to. We will be starting back with rehearsal and band camp soon! Please see below for all of the summer updates:
Bravo to June Camp Attendees - Outstanding job to our Guard, Percussion, and Drum Majors for completing the various camps in June!
BPA Concessions Sales - This Saturday, the BPA will be selling concessions at the City of Milton Riverfest/Independence Day Celebration. Thank you to all that have signed up to help with this! There are still just a few spots available. Parents and students may sign up. Students can receive volunteer hours for this and parents can receive credit towards the BPA volunteer incentive program. Parking will be very limited for this event, so plan accordingly. Shift times do vary. Please look at the event on the calendar for more info.
Band Car Wash - This will take place on Saturday July 18th. This is the first fundraiser for the band. Students can earn 100% profit towards their band fees as long as they get pledges. I have attached the pledge sheet. All students are required to wash cars on that day. Students will begin signing up for 1 of 4 locations and shifts starting next week at our Tuesday Rehearsal. This will be for leadership and seniors. Juniors and Sophomores will sign up on Thursday. Freshmen can sign up on Saturday at the uniform fitting or on Monday of the first week of Band Camp. Shifts are 9:15am-12:30pm and 12:15pm-3:30pm.
Chaperones for Carwash - We need chaperones for the carwash. Parents, and only parents, can sign up on the CutTime event for the carwash. There are 4 slots per shift per location. Please sign up ASAP. Without parents, we cannot do this fundraiser.
Rehearsals - Next Tuesday and Thursday, we will start back with rehearsals. These will be 6pm-9pm. Please make sure you are there and ready to go as we will be preparing for band camp as well as our first performance in 2 weeks! These are required. Please make sure you communicate with us about out of town travel.
Uniform Fittings - All new winds and percussion must make plans to attend our uniform fittings on Saturday, July 11th. Any returning student needing to be re-fitted must also make plans to attend. Woodwinds are 2pm-4pm and Brass/Percussion are 4pm-6pm.
BAND CAMP - Band Camp is only 2 weeks away! Prepare, prepare, prepare! Start getting your body acclimated to the heat. Remember, we will be outside more-or-less 1pm-9pm. More info to come.
Band Camp Dress-up Days - Our Leadership team is in the process of preparing dress-up days for band camp. We will hopefully announce these by this Sunday.
UDB App - All students need to go ahead and download the UDB app to their mobile devices. This is a FREE app. This is what we use to set drill at band camp. UDB has developed a completely new app, so all students will need to download that new app. Again, it is FREE.
