Band Camp beings on Monday, August 14, 8 AM at Kennett Middle School.
Rehearsals next week are 8 AM to 8 PM. 8 AM means we start rehearsing at 8 AM, so arrive early! Lunch is Noon to 12:45 PM and Dinner is 5 PM to 6 PM. The second week of camp will follow a different schedule which will be sent out later. Please check your email for more details, including some pro tips to help you get ready! ALL MEMBERS must turn in Medical Info / Travel Permission forms by Monday, 8/14 (Camp Day 1). No exceptions.
This is for YOUR safety. We absolutely must have a NEW, completed form on file for every student, including returning members. Please take care of this right away! Download the form here. Rookie Camp is this Wednesday, August 9 from 8 AM - 12 PM at Kennett Middle School. Rookie Camp is MANDATORY for all new members!
Important reminders: 1. We are at KENNETT MIDDLE SCHOOL. 2. 8 AM means WE START REHEARSAL AT 8 AM. That means you must arrive at KMS before that time. If you are arriving at 8 AM, you are LATE. 3. We are at KENNETT MIDDLE SCHOOL. 4. You must bring:
6. Students who carry Epi-pens and/or inhalers are strongly encouraged to bring them. 7. Rehearsal ends at Noon. 8. We are at KENNETT MIDDLE SCHOOL. (Yes, we're repeating this intentionally.) See you tomorrow! We have a FULL BAND rehearsal scheduled for Monday, August 7th from 6:00 to 8:00 PM in the band room of KHS. You will need equipment and music. This is a playing rehearsal for the musicians and a movement rehearsal for the guard.
It is our only time to work on music as a group before camp starts. Goals will be to get the beginning of the show under control and comfortable so that we can get into moving and paying day one of camp. This would also be a great time to get the field trip permission slip turned in. This is due on the first day of camp! (Check your email for the password.) Please remember that we have a Google Calendar for all of our events. Click here to view the calendar, and scroll down for instructions on how to add it to your devices and other accounts.
It seems that we still have members who are either not yet subscribed to our email group, or have not been reading KMB emails. Please remember that email is our primary form of communication. Several emails regarding Band Camp have been sent over the past week, and the volume of email will increase dramatically as we approach the start of our season.
It is therefore imperative that all band members and their families are subscribed to our email group. If you have not done so already, please follow these directions to sign up. Remember to add any new email addresses you may be using since your initial signup. We will continue to use our website and social media for posting reminders and other general info, but all long-format and non-public postings will be via email only. This is why you must regularly check your email in order to be fully informed. If for some reason you have not been receiving KMB emails and you already signed up, please contact us and we will try to help solve the problem. Once again, Cafe Rivera will be offering dinner during five nights of Band Camp. Meals are $12 / day, and you must purchase all five days to participate ($60 total).
We need at least 55 students participating in order for this to happen, and we need a commitment by this Wednesday, August 9. If we reach the quota of 55, you will be notified and will be asked to bring a check on the first day of band camp. Please see your email for further details. Uniform Fittings are Monday 8/7, Tuesday 8/8, and Wednesday 8/9 from 9-11 AM in the KHS Band Room.
YOU MUST SIGN UP FOR A TIME SLOT TO BE FITTED. Please click here to sign up! Seniors, if at all possible, sign up for Monday fittings. The longer you wait to get fitted, the less likely your uniform will be a perfect fit as we run out of the more common sizes. Guard: you have different uniforms. You do not need to sign up on this document for a fitting! You will be getting fitted at one of your rehearsals. Playing assessments are past due but are still being accepted. Please send them to your designated staff member by the end of this week.
Due to a conflict with freshman orientation, Rookie Camp will only take place on Wednesday, August 9. Thursday, August 10 is cancelled.
