Weekly Update, 8/12/18

This year’s band camp was a great success! We’re looking forward to our End of Band Camp Performance, this Tuesday at 8:00pm in Bear Stadium. Let’s hope that the weather cooperates. If it doesn’t, we’ll move the performance to the gymnasium. 
 
If you have not already done so, please be sure to turn in your required forms when you arrive to rehearsal. Students will not be allowed to perform on Friday if they’re missing certain forms! More information is provided below.
 
It’s highly recommended that students continue to hydrate throughout the week and use bug spray for our evening rehearsals.
