Marching Band Mini-Camp is May 28th, 29th, and 30th from 6-9pm. We will start mini-camp on Tuesday with everyone in the auditorium. Here is a list of notes for band members in preparations. New members, this is all new to you, and this serves as reminders for returning students.
PARKING: Parking is available in the lots furthest away from the school on the East side (Water Tower Side) of the building. Do not park in the big lot close to the school, as that is our rehearsal space
DROP-OFF/PICK-UP: For parents that are dropping off. Please drop-off and pick-up by the TENNIS COURTS. DO NOT drop-off/pick-up by the music wing doors. There is a lot of foot traffic and instruments being moved in that area and it becomes a major hazard when we add cars driving through. Please pick-up students on time! (15 minutes after rehearsal at the latest)
ENTRANCE: Students should enter through DOOR P. It is the double doors on the East side of the school that put you directly into the music hallway. Doors are typically unlocked 30 minutes before rehearsal begins. From there, each instrument section will have their own storage space.
INSTRUMENTS: Students WILL need their instruments for the first rehearsal. We provide the larger instruments for students if they do not have their own, but you will need the necessary accessories for it, such as mouthpiece, reeds, neckstrap, valve oil, etc. Please have the students name on the instrument case.
CLOTHING: Students will need to wear comfortable/athletic clothing. Athletic shoes with a flexible sole (i.e. running shoes) Due to safety issues, flip-flops or slip-on shoes are not allowed. Wear socks! Wear shorts or athletic pants, no jeans. A comfortable top, but have long sleeves in case of cool weather(and the A/C is constantly on in the school). Sunglasses or hats are still necessary for evening rehearsals.
WHAT ELSE TO BRING:
- 1-inch 3-ring binder with about 10 sheet protectors (This is for music, not necessary for guard)
- Pencil with an eraser
- Half-gallon or gallon size insulated water jug with water in it. Put your name on it and don’t share.
- Insect repellent
We are looking forward to a great start to the season with our 2019 Marching Tigers!!
