Band Camp 2020
Today is the day to start hydrating for tomorrow! I’m drinking water like it’s going out of style! PLEASE, hydrate and eat a real breakfast before arriving to camp. Most of the heat issues that occur are due to inadequate hydration and nutrition. Don’t let yourself have an unpleasant experience! Here’s the schedule:
Report to Band Room for Screening (7:30-7:50am)
-Temp Check and COVID-19 questions
-Return COVID-19 Protocol Forms (or sign if you missed last week)
Get instruments, music, water, sunscreen
-Report to band field, ready to go at 8:00am
-We will provide snacks in the morning
Lunch is provided by the school system at 12:00
-Students may choose to bring their own lunch
-Students may not live campus during lunch
Small Group Instruction will begin after lunch until dinner
-Monday dinner is Wraps and Sub sandwiches
-The menu for the rest of the week will be posted in band room
-Students may choose to bring their own dinner
-Students may not leave during dinner
Large Group Instruction will begin after dinner until 8pm
Monday’s Mandatory Fun event is a Scavenger Hunt
Students will be dismissed after the Hunt
The rest of the week will run on the same schedule, except for Friday evening. We hope to perform for the parents, but I must make sure we are following local, state, and health guidelines for that particular gathering. I am so excited about camp!
