Dear Parents, Guardians, and Students,

I am writing this letter as a reminder of the upcoming band camp at Axtell Community School. Camp is mandatory for all 7-12 grade band members. Band camp this year runs from July 31st- August 4th from 9:00 - 11:30 am. All students should meet in the band room at 9:00 sharp. We will have a lot to do and time will go fast.

Below is a list of items to bring to camp:

• Water

• Comfortable clothes (school appropriate)

• A hat (if you want one)

• Sunscreen

• Sunglasses

• Gym shoes (no sandals)

• Instrument

• A smile and great attitude

I chose the song Misirlou by Tim Waters as our parade marching song. Please listen to it on J.W. Pepper prior to Band Camp. I am very excited to meet every single one of you. I am ready to work hard and have a successful year as the new music teacher for Axtell Community Schools.

Important dates for parades:

• September 23rd UNK Band Day

• October 7th Harvest of Harmony

• October 14th Minden Bandfest

Other important dates:

• Meet and Greet at the North Park by the pool at 7:30 July 14th, drinks and snacks provided.

• Band Parent Meeting 7:00 PM in the band room July 31st.

I check it frequently and will try and respond in a timely manner. See you all soon and have a great rest of your summer.
