Things We LikeWoohoo Band Camp is finally here!! It's going to be such a great year. This leadership team is ready to roll. Go Big Red!  URGENT NEED FOR VOLUNTEER HELP!There is an urgent need for parent volunteers to staff the first aid tent and to serve lunches at band camp. If you have any free time to volunteer please check the available time slots in Charms or email Jaime Davis at [email protected] and she will get you signed up. Please note that you may not be able to see the volunteer slots if you are using the Charms app. It has been discontinued and is no longer supported or able to be updated in the app store. Please volunteer and help us make this year's band camp a success! FITTINGS,FORM,AND FEES NIGHT(For all band students-this includes CONCERT ONLY STUDENTS)Students and Parents should come to their assigned night during Week 1 of Band Camp. This is super important. In addition to fitting your student with a uniform, you will be able to fill out mandatory paperwork, pay band dues #2 ($250), order your band polo, order a band show shirt, buy band merchandise, make sure we have your information up-to-date, and have any questions answered! Both marching and concert uniforms will be fitted and sent home on the same evening so it's very important for concert only students and parents to attend. Please try on your bibbers and shoes before the fitting night to be sure they still fit properly for this year. If something doesn't fit, please bring it with you to the fitting. We will be accepting Check, cash, venmo, or paypal for purchases. If you would like to fill out forms ahead of time to bring with you, please click on the link below to print them out. Freshmen that attended rookie camp may have already submitted some of these forms. Everyone else needs to fill them out (even if you filled it out last year!) View all forms here The schedule by grade level is as follows: Monday, July 17th from 4:30-6:30 Seniors and Juniors (Seniors will be taking their photo for the media guide during this time - head shot with your band polos. We will have extras on site if you need one) Tuesday, July 18th from 4:30 - 6:30 Sophomores Wednesday, July 19th from 4:30 - 6:30 Freshmen Parents and Students should drop by anytime during the 2 hour range of time. You should not be there the entire time. If everyone comes right at 4:30, expect long lines. We encourage some of you to go grab some dinner first. **If you can't come to your assigned time, you can come to another grade level's night. Please email Kelly Parrish at [email protected] BAND PARENT MEETINGThere will be a band parent meeting in the bandroom this Thursday, July 20th at 6:00 pm.

DCI- Drum Corp International OpportunityNew this year - On the last official day of band camp - Friday, July 28th - we will end band camp at 3:00 pm (instead of going until 9:00 pm). We have 50 spots available for students (and some chaperones) to attend Master of the Summer Games DCI Competition at MTSU in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. The cost is $50 per person (cost of the ticket + school bus). We will eat dinner at the concessions at MTSU's stadium. Our return time will be after midnight (probably 1:30 am) We will take the first 50 people to turn in money to the band box in the band room to go (students must have turned in your band paperwork). You can not use charms credits for this trip. The google form that was sent out in May was just an interest form and does not guarantee you a spot. If we have an overwhelming response, we will look at increasing the numbers of tickets/buses next year. For more information about this event and DCI, visit dci.org Car ShowThere will be a car show on September 9th at Milton Frank Stadium. The band will preform at this event at 8:00 p.m. Please spread the word to get as many people involved as possible. All funds come directly back to the band. Contact Les Skulski([email protected]) if you would like to get posters to hang up at your place of employment or at local businesses.

Any donations received would be credited directly to your student’s Charms account and can be used towards your trip. You would provide the list of names and addresses that you want us to mail out from your student. Once your list is received, we will handle getting it mailed out, even including a return envelope for your recipient to be able to easily mail back a donation. We will be available to take the name & address list from your student during lunch time on Monday, July 24 and Tuesday, July 25 (2nd week of band camp). If your student is not in marching band, we will also make ourselves available in the band room during Panther Hour a couple of days once school has started. Watch the newsletter for those dates/times once school starts. If you have questions or would like to discuss in more detail, please contact Christine Starnes (HHS BPA co-treasurer) at [email protected].
