Summer Band Camp Week 1 – 7/29/19-8/7/19
Good afternoon Charger Band! Summer Band is here! We will start Monday with a Leadership Meeting in Band Hall 1, full student meeting in band hall 1, then onto a great day. It is extremely important that everyone is at camp each day and on time. There is much to learn and many opportunities for growth and all leadership and every student is important. Our team must be present for one another to learn and be responsible.
General schedule is having the mornings for outdoor rehearsal, a one hour lunch break (bring sack lunch or parents can drop off food. If upperclassmen decide to go off campus like years past, they must be careful and return safely on time or loss off privilege will occur), afternoons will start with all state music masterclasses (have concert instrument) then to sub sectionals and end with full winds and percussion sectionals as the days go on. Towards the end of the week will be some events and food and drink sales, so come prepared with cash! Also, it is a busy week so please follow details in the information below as well of list of items to bring.
PHYSICALS are due tomorrow. Hold on to them until Mr. Espinoza picks them up from you one by one. PARKING for band students will be a pickup and drop off/park in the ROTC lot. Due to construction and other events, this is the current lot we will be in. Band photos are taken this week. Info and purchase info to come home this week from students.
