Band Camp and More!

Hello, everyone!  I hope your summer is going great!  Band camp is just around the corner, so just a quick update/reminder that I hope will benefit you.


First, the LSHS Band will be having a car wash at the Exxon Station located at 3229 Veteran's Memorial Highway near the 78 Body Shop near Thornton Rd (same place as last time).  The car wash will be from 9 am- 2 pm on Saturday, July 11.  Come help, or at least bring your car to be washed!  Those participating will receive a portion of the profits to put toward their band and/or trip expenses.  See you there!


Second, Color Guard members need to bring any unpaid money for their uniform during camp next week.  Each member should have paid $60 already.  The remaining balance is $80 ($140 total, which covers the uniform, hat, and shipping).  We MUST have this by Wednesday, July 15 to ensure delivery on time for the first game. (Monday would be better!)


Third, the band will be taking pictures for the football program on Saturday, August 1 at 8:00 am.  This means that we will need to report at 7:30 am! Please add this to your calendar.


Finally, some updates about band camp.  At this point, at least $210 should have been paid toward band fees.  If you are not up to date on your payments, you may still come to band camp, but we need to get you caught up as soon as possible.  Remember, the total cost is $350, so there are 2 more payments left.  We will have a mandatory parent meeting on Monday, July 20 at 6pm.  It is very important that at least one parent or guardian for every child is in attendance.  I would recommend taking your child home, if possible, and then returning for the meeting.


For band camp, everyone needs to bring:  tennis shoes (no sandals, no flip-flops, no boots... TENNIS SHOES!), a hat (to keep the sun off your face), sunscreen (to prevent burning), and a refillable water bottle.  Don't forget your instrument!  See below for a full reminder of the band camp schedule:
