Quick Update July 30th
Good evening band families!
Just a quick reminder about a couple of things.
King Soopers rewards screen shot is due by Thursday, just send it to this email and we will apply it to your student’s account.
Show N’ Tell is Friday at 6pm. We will have a quick band parent meeting, the students will show us what they have been working on, and we will serve a hot dog dinner. If you want to purchase a dinner, please sign up here:
If you would like to pay via Venmo, you can do that in advance, just make a note that it is for the Hot Dog dinner.
Lastly, we need to fill our snack closet with water and snacks. We provide water and snacks to the students at performances and need to replenish our supply. We are looking for bottles of water and individually wrapped snacks like fruit snacks, granola bars, individual size popcorn, etc. If you would like to donate, you may bring them Friday or to any of the after school rehearsals.
BAND CAMP IS UPON US
Band Camp is here, and it is going to be HOT!
Please send your student with water, sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, closed toe shoes, and all the things needed for their instrument/ guard equipment. The temperatures will be near 100°F all week, so I would recommend some Gatorade or an electrolyte replacement drink as well.
Band camp will be from Monday – Friday from 8-5. Friday we have our Show N’ Tell at 6pm where the students will show us what they were up to all week. The Band Parent Association will be selling a hot dog dinner for $5, we will feed the band students for free, but if you and your family would like a quick easy dinner, sign up on this Google form by Wednesday for your hot dog dinner.
We have a couple more spots for our fruit and popsicle breaks AND with uniform fitting. If you can help, please sign up here:
We will also be working on props this week, we have a message from our pit master, Paul:
“Paul Jaminet is looking for all comers to get into prop building afternoons during band camp, 1-4pm each day. Any and all skills and experiences are helpful! Paul can be reached at 303-324-4868 if you have questions!”
Thanks! Paul”
Lastly, we have been invited by Fun Services to volunteer for the Pipefitters of Denver’s annual company picnic. They have 10 volunteer slots available, you must be 15 years old and will make minimum wage that will be placed into your student’s account. The event is Saturday August 24th from 10:30-2:30pm. You can sign up here: Pipefitters Event
As always, the website has a ton of information, including how to make payments. If you still have questions, please email us and we will get back with you as soon possible. We look forward to seeing you all on Friday!
