1. Pencils If you need a University owned instrument please contact me at 207-581-1232. The tentative schedule is as follows. This may change as I am still working on a couple of exhibitions. Final schedule will be given at Band Camp. Times will be given in the band handbook.
Tentative Marching Band schedule
Band Camp August 23rd -August 29 TBA games are only there in case we make the play off games. If we get that far they will have us play if it is a home game, travel is unlikely until the final game, the National Championships.
We will continue to participate in the S.M.A.R.T. Program which will be giving us some support in physical training and injury prevention and treatment. Also , if you have not been active this summer please start getting 30-60 minutes of walking or other type of cardiovascular exercise, it will make the transition to marching band easier and reduce the likelihood of injuries. It is NOT my goal to turn BAND camp into BOOT camp, but we all need to be in good working condition to avoid injury during band camp.
If you are receiving this letter then I am counting on you for this next season - please let me know ASAP if your status has changed. We have awesome numbers again this year. As of July 15 we have 80 and there are still people I know who haven't sent in their forms! We do need a few more Clarinets and Trumpets!! ANYONE is welcome if they play an instrument! Do some recruiting! This year's shows are great! Queen and Thriller plus a few other fun stands songs. I cannot wait for you all to return. The year 2009 will be a great one! See you all in August!!! Sincerely,
Christopher G. White |
