Yahoo! We made it through 8 days of band camp!

Thank you for making a difference in the lives of the students who cross your path. Just by being present, you show that they are valued. Thank you everyone for your hard work and efforts, for those who helped in the day and those who helped in the evenings and to all those yummy bakers. Congratulations to all of you who stuck it out, through my crazy running around, periods of nothing to do, and times of utter chaos.

The weather this year was amazing and not having to make Gatorade and wash cups, wow sheer bliss!

There is a volunteer book in the holder on the door of the library (the door next to the office). If you have not yet signed in, please fill in the day and times that you worked, even if you just filled 1 water balloon.

Enjoy your week off before school starts and after school rehearsals begin.

July 14 at 6 p.m. will be our first Booster/Parent meeting for the 2009-10 year. There will be an identical meeting at noon on Wednesday 7/15 for those that can not attend Tuesday evenings.

Tuesday rehearsal June 30. Get a head start on music.

School Schedule
Just as last year the band will rehearse after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays until 6 p.m. Students are graded on attendance and participation and are full expected at each and every rehearsal.

Dear Band Families:

All band members should be aware that attendance at band camp is mandatory. During band camp, the band accomplishes more than six weeks worth of work. Here are a few reminders:

• New This Year: EVERYONE IS REQUIRED TO BRING THEIR OWN PERSONAL WATER CONTAINER. Cups Will Not Be Provided! It can be as simple as a half-gallon milk jug. One 12 oz. water bottle is NOT adequate. It needs to be at least a 32 oz. Container. No Gatorade will be provided – just ice and water. Also, bring a hand towel everyday for body temperature control. You will be soaking it in ice water.
• Prepare for camp by spending time outdoors during the heat of the day, conditioning your arms by carrying a gallon of water around at eye level, and eating healthy (stay away from soda).
• Band room opens at 7:30 a.m. Arrive before 9 a.m. (students need to be ready and on the field by 9 a.m.).
• It is very important to eat breakfast! Don’t forget to bring a lunch (hot weather food, stay away from dairy), dinner will be provided during the evening rehearsals.
• Wear shorts, light colored T-shirt, tennis shoes with socks, DEODORANT, hat, sunglasses, sunblock, lots of sunblock.
• Don’t forget your instrument, lyre, flip folder (can be purchased from Rush’s or Lunsfords), pencil and highlighter.
• On July 14, there will be a required parent meeting at 6:00 p.m. in the WBHS auditorium. For those that work evenings, there will be an identical meeting at 9 a.m. on Wednesday 7/15.
• Items you will need to purchase are marching shoes (~$30), gauntlets & gloves ($10-15 each) and a band shirt ($10) and blue shorts. Depending on the weather, uniforms may not be worn the first few games in August, instead, band shirts and blue shorts.
• Our potluck dinner and concert begins at 6 p.m. on July 23. Please bring enough food for your entire family and some to share.
• The medical form needs to be filled out and notarized by the first day of camp. We will not be able to give your student even one Tylenol during camp if this form is not on file. We will have a notary available the first night of camp.

During band camp, there is a need for parents to get involved. Any time that can be given would be much appreciated, even if you just want to bake brownies! If you have not already signed up, you can contact Colleen Mausser at 995-1555 or wbconcessions@charter.net or Deanna Wolff at 981-9750 or srt1500@gate.net.

Sincerely,

WBHS Band Directors

Wow! Wasn’t last night fabulous? Because of the logistics of the 9th Grade Academy, all of the students played together for the first time in front of everyone. They did not get a chance to rehearse as a group 8th through 12th grades, until the actual concert performance. This year it seems each performance is noticeably better than the previous. Next year is going to be so exciting!

Thank you to all the parents who helped with the picnic. From those guys and gals on the grill, to those that just showed up and did what needed to be done for all to get served and cleaned up. It’s like we’re just one big family and everyone pitches in when needed. And such wonderful food, potlucks are so much fun.
