We are finally to the most important two weeks of the beginning of marching season.  Over these weeks of camp, we will be learning music, drill, and body work for as much of the show as possible.  It is vital that all students are in attendance each day.  When students miss, this affects the whole band.  Make sure you are drinking plenty of fluids and eating. Here are some items to consider bringing

• Band Camp Dinner - The BPA will be selling food for dinner each day 4:30-6pm.  Ms. Arlene will be set up in the front of the band room each day at noon to take money.  You can pay for by the day, week or all-in-one.  Checks need to be made out to MHSBPA.

• Band Camp Cafe Help - THANK YOU  to all of the parents that have already signed up to help at the band camp cafe.  There are still a few spots opened.  This is a great chance to get to know the other parents and students.  Just go to the events in your CutTime link and scroll to each band camp day.  There, you will see what is available to sign up.
• Car Wash - This Saturday is the mass band car wash.  Remember, this is a FREE wash.  You must get those pledges in order to make profits from this fundraiser.  All students must sign-up in the band room by Monday. If you have folks out of town that are wanting to donate money in your child's name, CutTime has the ability for this to occur.  Click the following link and go through the steps to learn how to do this: https://support.gocuttime.com/article/274-cost-sharing-sponsoring
• Car Wash Help - WE ARE STILL IN NEED OF HELP FROM PARENTS.   To sign-up, you will need to go to the carwash event on CutTime and click the sign-up option for the time and location.  I will be sending out a separate direction sheet for all chaperones with detailed instructions about your responsibilities later this week.  We still have open slots for the following:
  • Adv. Auto 8am - 2 slots

• Preview Show - Go ahead and make plans now to be at the first performance of the 2024-25 MHS Mighty Black & Gold on Thursday, July 25th at 7pm in the Football stadium.  This is a free performance that you do not want to miss it!
• Freshmen Day Pep Rally - Friday July 26 is Freshmen Day at MHS.  Freshmen students are encouraged to participate in all of the festivities that SGA will be putting on.  Please call the MHS front office for info.  Sophomores - Seniors will meet in the band room at 10am to get ready for the pep rally.  We should be done by 12:30.  Please wear summer uniforms for this.
• Band Room Floor Prep - Immediately following the pep rally on the 26th, we are in need of student volunteers to get the band room ready to have the new flooring installed.  We will need to move everything off of the floors in the main band room area, office, and practice rooms.  Volunteer hours are available for this.  We should be done by 2pm.  

That is all for now.  I hope all of you have an exciting Band Camp :-)
