1. Please consult the Calendar at PlumBand.com for all rehearsal days and times. Remember that we can only optimize our rehearsal time when EVERYONE is present. Please make every effort to be present for ALL of camp. As a reminder, all NEW marchers and SECTION LEADERS should plan to attend Rookie Camp on August 2-3, which will be from 8:30-11:30 am.Full Band Camp will begin August 6th with ALL members. 2. Please bring the following FORMS with you upon arrival to Camp: - MEDICAL FORM - Please complete and this School District Medical form on the FIRST DAY of camp. Remember, a new one must be completed each year. Form can be found at the link below, or by visiting PlumBand.com, click the "High School" Tab, then "Forms." http://www.plumband.com/forms.html. - LUNCH FORMS - Band Camp runs 8:30-3:30 the week of August 6th and 13th. You may bring lunch from home, or buy lunch from the cafeteria. Please see the "Band Camp Lunch" Forms for more information and the menu for the next two weeks. If you buy lunch, bring the lunch forms with you (with payment) on the first day of camp. Forms are available here: http://www.plumband.com/forms.html. 3. Be Prepared! Please remember to bring with you everything you need: - Equipment/Instrument, music, lyre/flipfolder, pencil - LOTS OF WATER, Sunscreen, etc. - sunglasses and/or a hat. - you MUST wear athletic shoes -- you CANNOT march in flip flops/sandals. - DRESS APPROPRIATELY. Tank tops/sleeveless is okay for camp, but shorts must not be too short. 4. Parent Volunteers - As we discussed at pre-camp in June, we will need parent help with a few things during August. Please consider pitching in if at all possible: - Uniform Distribution - if you can help Susan Doyle distribute/fit students in uniforms, please email her at shdoyle@windstream.net. This will be done during the week of the 6th. - "Band Camp Parent" - I'm looking to have at least one parent present during camp to assist. It's helpful if someone needs an ice pack, band-aid, supervising at lunch time, etc. For the most part, it's just another adult presence so that the staff may focus on instruction at all times. If you're able to do a morning or afternoon shift (or a full day!), please contact Tracy Reedy at tlreedy@icloud.com. Additionally, Volunteer chaperones are needed for the home and away football games. If you are interested in chaperoning, please contact Tracy Reedy at tlreedy@icloud.com. We also need a nurse chaperone for each home and away football games. If you are a nurse, and would like to volunteer, please contact Tracy at the email listed above. I’ll chaperones must have current clearances as directed by the school district. Clearance information can be found on the school district website. Please consider helping out if your schedule permits! Looking forward to another GREAT year of music making! See you all soon! Mrs. Loy MARCHING BAND 2018-19
