I hope you've had a great week or two off of band because, guess what? It's time to start thinking about fall marching band!
Orientation camp is this coming week from Thursday - Saturday. Times can be found below. We also have an important parent meeting to discuss fall marching on Friday, May 1.
And, as is tradition, we will have a parent work day the morning of May 2 while the students are in orientation camp. Mr. Cox will create a list of tasks that need to be completed, so please come have some coffee and doughnuts with us and help us clean up the band room for the next season.
We still have a lot of winter dues that have not been submitted. Updated invoices are going out this week. Please plan to pay ASAP.

Band Car Wash and Yard Sale
This year's band car wash and yard sale are on the same date and location! A flyer full of drop off information as well as items we are not allowed to take for the yard sale was included in the email with this week's blog post. We are looking for a couple of parents to help the day of the yard sale.
We will be creating a sign up genius soon for the car wash. We always need a few adults and LOTS of students to make this a success! The car wash time is 9:00 - 1:00 PM
