DAY CAMP THIS WEEKEND
Saturday is our one full-day rehearsal of the season. We refer to this as "Day Camp" because it is like a day at band camp. We will rehearse the following schedule:
9-11:30 - Parking Lot
1-4 - Music Rehearsal
5-7 - Parking Lot
Students may bring a lunch or leave for lunch with your permission. We will provide dinner for all students and they are expected to stay for dinner. Our goal for Saturday is to learn as much of the final movement of our show. "Through The Eyes Of Medusa" is coming together very well and we are all excited to finish the show!

CAR WASH THANKS
Thanks to all students and parents for assisting with our Car Wash!! We far exceeded our expectations for this first fundraiser - let's make that a tradition this year!

FLORIDA TRAVEL REMINDER
As an early and quick reminder, we will be traveling to Ponte Verde, FL with the band the first week of October. The cost of the trip is $225 per student and has already been billed to marching band members in CHARMS. The due date for payment is approaching: August 31!
Thanks for your prompt attention to that final marching band payment.

VOLUNTEERS
In the football season, we have an immense need for parent volunteers. Please take a sincere look at the SignUpGenius (linked on website, and frequent emails) and consider when and how YOU can help the band be successful this season!!!

CALENDAR CHANGE
An additional reminder to an earlier email - our football game originally scheduled for August 24th was moved to August 31st. We are aware this is Labor Day Weekend and many of you were planning to be out of town. The band will still be at the game and support our community and team. PLEASE NOTIFY US if you are going to be absent from the game on August 31st. It will be excused, but we must be notified to excuse the absence. We work very hard to have a calendar that is not altered - thank you for your patience and understanding with this change.
