Summer Updates

Summer Band Has Grown!

As compared to last year, it looks as though we have a lot more involvement with the summer band which means; we will have enough students to have two bands!! This summer we will have an upper and lower level band, allowing our younger students to feel more comfortable in a smaller band with students close to their age and gives them the chance to play music closer to their ability. 

Where Do I Go When I Arrive?

When you arrive for camp, please come to the high school band room on the south side of the building (Ken Berry side). You will see multiple sets of class doors and windows which is the band room and will be labeled with USD 437 Summer Band signs so that you know you have the right place. Once you enter the band room you will see multiple sets of tables for check-in. Here, students will be directed where to go. The upper-level band will be in the orchestra room, the lower-level band will be in the band room.

Students Needing Instruments

Upon check-in each table will have a summer band roster and a list of names of students needing instruments. If your son/daughter needs an instrument, please let the student helper know and we will see to it that you son/daughter is taken care of. If your son/daughter plays percussion we will supply sticks and mallets for them. However, if you son/daughter is in, 6th grade and has their own bell set, we encourage you to bring it so we can ensure every student is playing something. 

Last, summer band starts at 9:00am, but we encourage everyone to show up early so that way we can start as close to 9:00am as possible. If you have any question feel free to call or e-mail one of the directors. We again thank you for your support and look forward to hosting your son/daughter, we hope that you have a wonderful holiday, see you all next week!!!
