Band Camp Information

7/19/2017

0 Comments

 
Next Monday begins band camp 2017! I am really excited about getting to work on this year's production "Time Machine". I wanted to make sure to get this information out to everyone so that we can hit the ground running first thing on Monday morning. If you have any questions feel free to leave comments or email me at [email protected].

Schedule
Band camp will run Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM-4:00 PM from July 24th through August 4th. There will be a few special events and other considerations throughout the next couple of weeks.

Friday July 28th - Rehearsal will begin at 12:30. I have a mandatory new teacher orientation in the morning and will be unable to attend rehearsal during that time.

Tuesday August 1st - We will hold a "phone-a-thon" kickoff for our cookie dough fundraiser that will begin on this day. Plan to stay an extra hour or two after rehearsal (more details to follow).

Wednesday August 2nd - We will be performing for a group of senior citizens at the South Whitley town hall at some point during the day. Again, more information to follow.

Thursday August 3rd - Parent Preview at 5:00

Friday August 4th - Pierceton Days Parade. Look for a schedule for this parade during the first part of the second week of camp.

Items Needed
These are the items students will need each day at band camp:
  • Binder (for drill and music)
  • 50-75 clear plastic sheet protectors
  • Length of rope or shoestrings (to carry binder on the field)
  • Instrument/equipment/accessories
  • Good quality shoes and socks (students will not be permitted to march in sandals or flip flops, or without socks)
  • Change of clothes/extra socks in case of rain
  • Sunscreen (mandatory)
  • Water in a jug that can be taken out to the field
  • Lunch will be served by parents each day

Daily Schedule
For the most part we will be following this schedule each day, unless one of the events above requires a change to this schedule:

8:00 - Stretching/Breathing
8:15 - Basics
9:30 - Learn drill (one "chunk" of the show each day)
11:00 - Lunch/Free time
12:00 - Sectionals (memorization of that day's "chunk" of music)
1:15 - Full ensemble music (band room)
2:00 - Full ensemble drill-to-music (outside)
3:45 - Run thru(s)/Announcements/Dismissal
*Parents who wish to see the show develop are encouraged to watch the run thru(s) each day at 3:45.

All students are requested to be picked up and out of the building by 4:30 each day.
