TWIB 27 Jul Band Camp Week 2

Band… Now read and understand this!

Thank you all for a great first week for the 201415 Band year! We all had a great time at the “Drums at Cajun Field” show this past Monday. And I know that many of you are looking forward to the quarterfinals show “in a theater near you” on Thursday, 7 Aug …yes, that is the 1^st day of classes! Congrats again to Scott, Zack, Alum Tyler, and Percussion Instructor Tyler for a fantastic performance with the Louisiana Stars!! To all of the mom and pop boosters, who pitched in with EVERYTHING from Monday’s roll call to and through Saturday’s dismissal, I send out a hearty thank you! We could not have done it without you.

Week One… Wow! We got a lot accomplished! Fundamentals are coming along nicely. Guard is looking sharp and focused! Majors are on top of it! In the midst of the scramble, percussion is moving ahead! Hornline is sounding strong and promising! We have laid a good foundation for what we are building

We have a busy and challenging week ahead. Be prepared for more music, drill and procedures, meet even more new friends, SWEAT, “Fun”damentals, and spirit days. We’ll be outside as much as possible, weather permitting.

Here are some gentle reminders:

·         OFFICERS: Please be on deck at 7:30 each morning. Be prepared to get our day movin’ and groovin’ for everyone! AWARENESS and INIATIVE!!

·         Cell Phones…TURN THEM IN!!

·         Remember to eat a good breakfast BEFORE you arrive in the morning! Bring and eat a sensible lunch. HYDRATE before, during, and after our workday.

·         PARTICIPATE fully in the activities all day long. Don’t put yourself in jeopardy of losing a spot in the organization!

·         Don’t Forget: You got information (handout) from Mrs. Crovetto about placing an ad or announcement in the 2014 Football program, AND a “COOKIE DOUGH” Fundraising packet.

·         Let’s HAVE FUN!!
