Good morning, band family!

We’ve made some changes to the band’s summer schedule.  Our Google Calendar has been updated to reflect all of these – the Charms calendar will update when I roll over to the new school year on June 3rd. Here’s a summary:

CHANGES

• Color Guard Camp, week 1: 5/7-10, 4-7pm in the bandroom (moved from morning to afternoon).  Week 2 is unchanged: 7/19-22, 8-11am.
• Percussion Camp, week 1: 5/7-10, 4-7pm in the bandroom (moved from morning to afternoon).  Week 2 is unchanged: 7/19-22, 8am-12pm.

ADDITIONS:

• Summer lessons and masterclasses: all members of the BTWHS band will meet weekly for a 2 hour lesson or masterclass for the last 3 weeks of June and the 2nd full week  of July.  Every student is expected to attend every session.  The Booters are paying professionals to come in and work with our students – this is an incredible opportunity to improve our skill levels early in the season!  Here are the dates broken down by section:
  • Color Guard: Tuesdays, 4-6pm on 6/15, 6/22, 6/29, and 7/13
  • Flutes: Thursdays, 4-6pm on 6/17, 6/24, 7/1, and 7/15
