BAND CAMP!!!!


Band Camp:

Here's what info I have right now!
I am getting an itinerary from Mr. Reynolds tonight and I will get all of the information up there as soon as I get that!

Band Camp will start at 7am every day,
and will end at 7pm every day.

That means we will be there from 7-7 Monday through Friday!

Please plan accordingly so that you are able to arrive at the school by 6:55 so that we have NO tardies!
If we can have NO TARDIES the entire band camp then I will personally provide an ice cream party for the team at the end of camp!!!!

It's up to you guys if we can have that!

Secret Pals:
We are going to do secret pals through the week.
Spend no more than $5 for the entire five days.
We will do one small gift every day! Put some thought into these.
If you do not bring one you will not get one, so make sure you remember to bring them.
Bring your secret pal gift with your person’s name on it and we will put them in a big box.
Breanne will pass them out some time throughout the day.

AGAIN! IF YOU DO NOT BRING ONE YOU WILL NOT GET ONE; YOURS WILL BE GIVEN TO THE PERSON YOU GIVE TO.

Water:
Make sure you are bringing water.
I do not know if we will be allowed in the school so it is important that you bring water.
As well as I will not be allowing you to leave what we are working on to run across the field to the school through the school to the drinking fountain and back.
BRING YOUR WATER BOTTLE!

As well as I will be upset if you end up sick because you are not drinking and get dehydrated!
Make sure when we are taking water breaks you are drinking WATER!

Food:
We will be feed LUNCH and DINNER.
You are responsible for BREAKFAST.
MAKE SURE YOU EAT!
Like I told you at practice, I will not be sympathetic to you if you did not eat breakfast and now you are lagging because you are hungry.
I need you all to be responsible humans and take care of your body!
MAKE SURE YOU EAT!

Sunscreen:
If you refuse to wear sunscreen and you get burnt I will not let you off the hook!
You will still need to do all of the work even if your skin hurts!
AGAIN, I need you to be responsible and take care of your bodies!
WEAR SUNSCREEN!
We are doing 12 hour days and we may not be able to get out of the sun and get into a gym!
I do not want anyone crying because they have a sunburn that could have been prevented!
Wear a hat, wear a bandana, and WEAR SUNSCREEN!!!!
I do not know how else to express how important this is.
GO CHECK IF YOU HAVE SOME RIGHT NOW!
If you do not, go tell your Mom right now that you are going to need some on Monday!

Shoes, Shirt, Shorts:
You can go barefoot, but when we are on the field you must have Tennis shoes on.
FLIP FLOPS ARE NOT ALLOWED FOR YOU GUYS WHEN YOU ARE MARCHING ON THE FIELD!
You must have tennis shoes on.

Shorts, just like always if they are short you must have spandex shorts underneath.
I don’t want to see up your shorts when you are stretching.

Shirts, NO SPAGHETTI STRAPS, the tank tops need to be thick.

WHITE SHIRTS – We will not be wearing our white shirts on Superhero day and Twin day!
Bring your shirts so we can wear them when we do drill!!!
If you are going to wear something for the spirit days that is fine but we need your number shirt on you when we do drill!!! I will get you the itinerary so you will know about what time of day that will be.
That means we will wear our shirts on MONDAY, TUESDAY, and THURSDAY!!!
You all should have your white shirts (EXCEPT ROSIE).
Please where them.

When are we wearing them???...

MONDAY, TUESDAY, and THURSDAY!

BRING YOUR SHIRT ON THOSE DAYS SO YOU WILL HAVE THEM WHEN WE DO DRILL!

Spirit Days:
Here is the spirit day schedule!

Monday – School spirit day/purple people eater day (wear purple!) = # SHIRT DAY TOO
Tuesday – Crazy hair day = # SHIRT DAY TOO
Wednesday – Super hero day
Thursday – Mustache day (get creative people) = # SHIRT DAY TOO
Friday – Twin day = MAKE SURE EVERYONE HAS A TWIN! NO ONE SHOULD GET LEFT OUT!!!

I know some of these are crazy but that’s the point!
Let’s have some fun with it!

What to remember to bring:
ALL of your equipment – tall flag, any weapons, and swing flag
Your two count sheets.
Your count books (you will be getting these from me on Monday so don’t worry about this yet)
Sunscreen
Tennis shoes
Water
Snacks if you think you won’t make it to the snack times.
Secret pal gift

VERY IMPORTANT!!!!

EVERYONE!

Last week and this week we have been trying to get all of the first song cleaned and all of the counts down solid!

Our goal is that when we go to band camp in a week that we are able to put the work to the drill as we learn the drill.

This will only happen if we ALL know the COUNTS perfect!

IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN HERE LAST WEEK OR NEXT WEEK it is YOUR responsibility to get with someone and make sure you KNOW the COUNTS!

Thank you for being so great last week! 
Let's keep it up!!!
Only 1 week till band camp!!!
