I hope these few days of a break are treating you well. They're Here......ROOKIE CAMP/PERCUSSION CAMP/GUARD CAMP!!! We finally kickstart our summer camps this week.
To get ready for these camps please make sure you have the appropriate items. You will need tennis shoes for marching, nonfluorescent shorts, mostly white T-shirt, instrument and music, sticks, flags/rifles, deodorant, sunscreen, a water thermos for water breaks, and anything else that you may want to keep yourself hydrated and cool while we are outside. All percussion and winds participate in Rookie Camp.
The schedule for Rookie Camp is as follows:
8:00 am - 12:00 pm - Outside Marching
12:00 pm - 1:00 pm - Lunch
1:00 pm - 3:00 pm - Inside Music
The MHS Cafeteria will be serving a FREE lunch each day as part of their summer lunch program. Please understand that with it being a free lunch, don't expect a ribeye steak and potatoe each day LOL! It is, however, a nutritious lunch.
Congratulations to our new colorguard members of the 2016-17 Mighty Black & Gold Band! Now the real work for you begins as you go through the process of learning the routines for our show :-)
Percussion, John hopes to have the line set by Monday at the end of your camp that night. Hopefully by Tuesday, you will know what exactly you will be playing for the marching band.
New winds, we will hold your auditions Tuesday and Wednesday after rookie camp; Woodwinds on Tuesday and Brass on Wednesday.
Rookie uniform fittings - These are scheduled to take place all on Thursday of this week, however, we are going to try and get everyone fitted on the woodwind and brass audition days. As soon as you are finished auditioning on your day, please make sure you get fitted for your uniform parts. Percussion will go on Wednesday during the brass auditions.
New Parents, we will be having a meeting for you this Tuesday at 6:30 pm in the band room. Please make plans to attend as we will go over all the information you need to know about our MHS Band family and will be able to answer any questions you have on the spot. Refreshments will be provided by the MHS Band Parent Association.
