I want to first thank all of the student leaders for coming out today for our leadership camp. I think it went really well and I can tell we are going to have a great year.
Next, I want to remind all of our incoming rookies that Rookie Camp starts tomorrow morning at 8AM Central Time here at RHS. Rookie camp will last from Tuesday to Friday, ending each day at 12PM Central Time. Make sure to bring sunscreen, bug spray, hats, and CLOSED TOE SHOES! I think we're gonna have a great week and learn a lot of cool stuff.
Also a reminder to all of our Auxiliary and Percussion students: Auxiliary/Percussion camp will also begin tomorrow at 1PM Central Time and end each day at 5PM Central Time through this Friday.
We are still looking for more volunteers to come help us grill/prepare lunches next week during band camp! If you think you might be interested/available, please email me at jaron.smith@cleburneschools.net
Another important piece of information: Please go to the "2016 Marching Band" link at the top of our website, www.rhsbulldogband.org, and click on the link that says RHS Band Handbook. There you will be able to open and read our handbook and also download and print out a sheet that you will sign to say that you have read through the entire handbook and understand what it says. For those who do not have access to a printer or otherwise, I will have hard copies available in the band room to take home.
I will have various other forms to fill out once you arrive either this week or next week, including medical forms, a form stating whether or not your child will be allowed to be in photographs for our website and other publications, as well as chaperone/band helper forms.
Senior portrait orders are also in the morning from 9AM-11AM central time, so if this affects you and you are involved with rookie camp, you will be allowed to leave temporarily to order your portraits.
One final bit of information that I would like to make you aware of is a misprint that I published earlier about registration times during band camp next week. I mistakenly put that 5th-8th grade students would be registering on Wednesday, the 27th from 3PM-5PM central time, when the ACTUAL date is set for Thursday, the 28th from 3PM-5PM central time. I have updated our calendar to reflect the correct times.
Take advantage of your last bits of free time before band camp and please look over your music! I can't wait to see you all here next week!
Mr. Smith
