Before your volunteer date comes up, check out this quick video to get an idea of how to get the band room ready for rehearsal. I hope this makes your volunteer job much easier and more relaxed!

Band Camp begins on Monday, August 15th–are you ready to start a successful year in band? Here are 5 actions you can take to ensure that your child has a stress-free and positive band camp experience.

1. Communicate! – If you haven’t done so already, email Ms. Thompson with your child’s instrument choice. This will help her plan for the upcoming year!

2. Get an instrument. – All students must have their instruments, Standard of Excellence books, and supplies by Monday, August 15th. Students without instruments cannot learn to play!

3. Double-check the Band Camp schedule. Remember, our first three days of Band Camp are sectionals for beginner students only. Find out when your child’s sectionals will meet on the Band Camp page.

4. Figure out transportation for the week of Band Camp and beyond. – How is your kiddo going to get to and from Band Camp and regular rehearsals? Make a plan now to avoid stress down the road.

5. Volunteer! – We still have open spots on our Volunteer Calendar. Please sign up to support your child’s band!
