INFO ABOUT BAND CAMP:
START HYDRATING THE WEEK BEFORE! Drink plenty of water over the weekend! Be sure to keep hydrating throughout Band Camp and August - even once you're home after practice and just want to sleep, drink that glass of water before resting!
Parents please check-in with your student Monday morning at the check-in table by the Rock. Students (and Parents) who confirmed their registration information at Rookie Camp can proceed directly to the band room upon arrival. Volunteers will be at the check-in table starting at 8:00 AM Monday to confirm paperwork and answer any questions.
Be sure to eat a good breakfast before arriving at camp.
Arrive 15 minutes before start time.
BRING LUNCH! No students are to leave campus during both weeks of Band Camp.
Bring a water bottle (or water cooler/jug) pre-filled with water from home. Be sure your water bottle has your name on it.
We will have water, Gatorade and snacks available.
Wear comfortable and supportive shoes for walking.
Bring and wear sunscreen.
Bring a towel to wipe down.
It may be a good idea to bring a fresh t-shirt and an extra pair of socks for the afternoon session.
Band lockers will be assigned Monday. Bring a lock if you'd like to secure your belongings.
Bring any medication needed during the day, including Advil, Tylenol, EpiPen, etc. Parents and instructors are not allowed to hand out any medication.
Students - do not leave "emergency" medication in your locker - be sure to bring it with you as you move around campus throughout the day.
We do have a "First Aid" Bag with basic supplies: band aids, wraps, ice packs, peppermints (upset stomach), etc.
Wake County Schools monitor the weather for the summer sports/band programs. If there is a "Code Red" heat advisory day, we will still have practice, however it will be held indoors.
There will be a time during the second week of camp to take a brief nap or rest in the afternoon. Kids can bring a pillow, blanket, slippers/flip flops, and a change of clothes if they like.
Parents - be sure to attend the Parent Meeting on Tuesday, July 25 at 7:00 PM in the auditorium.
Be sure to attend the performance in the Football Stadium parking lot at 5:00 PM on Friday, July 28.
