Mini Camp Recap

Good Afternoon, I just wanted to that all of you who showed up for our mini camp yesterday, I’d even dare to say we had a productive day! These kids and instructional staff are really excited about things coming down the pipeline and it is my goal to have more positive parental involvement and to continue to 1) give our kids the best musical experience and education possible and 2) continue to improve the operations of the boosters to ensure the overall program’s success! I hope that there are some who will answer this calling, but who will also want to take an active role on the executive board. I hope you will encourage your kids to practice, and prepare for camp! They need to Drink more WATER; not fruit juice, or Gatorade. They should also start acclimating their bodies to the heat and make sure they are eating properly! The more to take this advice today will be less likely to fall ill in the summer heat!
