Updates for this week

We are still in band camp! We have heard that other bands have had some issues with Covid. We must make sure that we are following protocol during camp. Make sure that you have a mask and wear it any time you are indoors. Outdoors, the mask is still optional. Stay 3 feet apart from others when you are not doing structured activity.

This week our camp is in the afternoon and evening. Schedule:Aug. 9-13: Band Camp 2-8 pm. Afternoons inside for music and evenings outdoors for drill. Weather will be a factor this week. We are keeping an eye on the wet bulb index and will not be outside if it reaches 92 degrees. This is per MSHSAA and Mercy Health guidelines for heat safety. Be sure your student has something packed to eat during our dinner break.

Aug. 12: 8:00 pm--Band Olympics. Sections go head to head in intense "competition" with win-it-in-a-minute games in a great way to get to know each other.

Aug. 13: 8:00 pm--Band (Lack of) Talent Show. Students show off their random talents and recap their time at band camp.

Normally these activities happen at Camp Woodland Hills and we want to keep tradition going.

Aug. 14: Media Day--Students come to South at 11:00 am to get into uniform. We will take an official band picture at 12:00 pm for programs and yearbook. After pictures students will need to hang up their uniform then they are free to go.

Physical_Privit Information 2021-2022. This is information just sent to us from the AD. It is very possible that they will come after us if a student does not have the physical or Privit information submitted and that students will NOT be allowed to participate in rehearsals until the paperwork is done.
