Friday is the final day of band camp. All students have worked really hard through the heat and have really done extremely well. Couple of things coming up:
Water Balloon Fight
Friday is our water balloon fight. Your student is not required to participate. We ask that all students bring their own balloons or work it out with friends to share some. All balloons must be placed outside the band room, alongside the front porch (please do not block the stairs or ramp). No students will be allowed to fill balloons at camp tomorrow. We ask that all balloons be brought in containers with the students name on it, so there is no confusion. Water guns are allowed. The water balloon fight will begin a little while after lunch on the band field. All students must wear the clothing we discussed all week:
-No white shirts/shorts
-No bathing suits (yes you can wear them UNDER clothing)
-School appropriate
We encourage students to bring a change of clothes. Students who wear clothing that is not deemed appropriate will not be allowed to participate. Students who begin the water balloon fighting during the day will be sent home.
Preview Show
Tomorrow at 4:30PM (AL Time) is the preview show for all the families of our RHS Band students. We will begin our preview show right at 4:30. This will showcase all the hard work these amazing students have accomplished during the week. Once it ends, ALL students (band, auxiliary, etc.) must clean and straighten up the band room before being dismissed.
Band Pictures
Sunday, August 1st, are band pictures at the RHS Football Stadium. All students are required to come to these are they are featured in the yearbook and football program. We aim to make this quick and easy. Picture envelopes will be handed out tomorrow for all students. You can purchase the group, section and individual photos.
I will be at the band room at 5PM (AL Time) for all students to get ready. This will work very easily if we can get everyone in place by 6:00 at the football stadium. All students are required to take the full band and section photos. If you and your family have purchased individual portraits, these will be taken last. Once your student has completed all his or her pictures, they may go home. They must put their instrument and uniform up correctly in the band room.
School Starts Back
Lastly, school begins August 5th for all students. There will be n practice until August 5th and one August 6th (the only Friday practice we have). These are on the calendar, which you can access through the tab above.
Sincerely,
Mr. Melton
