During every dinner and lunch break, the Band Camp Cafe will be open at the softball concession stand behind the band hall on the MHS campus. Prices and items are posted in around the band hall. I encourage everyone to use this unless you bring your own lunch because the prices here are significantly less than anywhere around campus. We will have a parent at the band hall at 8am on Monday morning to collect cafe money for student accounts. Students may take advantage of this or go somewhere else, just know that students are on their own during those breaks. We will have staff and parents up at the band hall to keep watch though.
Students, our leadership has come up with themes for each day. I highly encourage all to participate. I hear that prizes will be rewarded for participation :-) Here are the themes
Week 1
Monday - Tie Dye
Tuesday - Camouflage
Wednesday - Twin, Dress up like someone else in band
Thursday - Favorite Holiday
Week 2
Monday - Superheroes
Tuesday - Favorite Movie/TV Show
Wednesday - Section Decides
Speaking of clothes to wear, please go ahead and and start getting the appropriate clothes for the preview show. Winds and percussion will wear their band polo shirts along with SOLID black shorts, white sock, and mostly white shoes. The shorts must not be gym shorts, but can be cargo-type shorts. Colorguard will wear the black sparkly shirts that Miss Byrd has ordered for you along with black spots shorts with spandex underneath and white tennis shoes.
Parents, we need your help during band camp. There are several volunteer opportunities over the next 2 weeks with Band Camp Cafe and the Medical Tent. Please go to our calendar and sign up by clicking the little hand at each event. There are multiple shifts per area per day. You can access the calendar easily by clicking HERE.
Parents, there are still SEVERAL openings for the carwash. WE NEED YOU HELP. if we don't have the parents at the location for whatever shift, we will have to close that shift and move those students to other locations which means we probably won't meet our goal of 300 vehicles washed. PLEASE HELP!!!! You can sign-up by clicking HERE.
Last but not least, the DCI Atlanta trip is just around the corner. We still have about 12 spots available for anyone interested. The total cost of this trip is $110. To secure your seat, please get us $50 ASAP. For everyone that has already placed a deposit, the $60 is due by the day we leave which is Saturday, July 28th. We will get you an official itinerary for that day this week.
That is all for now. I hope everyone has as Courageous week :-)
