Volunteer Needs for Band Camp

-
Good evening Band Families,

We hope you and your children are getting excited for band camp. There will be lots of ways for the parents to get involved and help for band camp these next few weeks.  Below you will see some descriptions of what you can do.  And here is the link below.  Feel free to save the link by bookmarking in your browser or add it to the home screen of your phone for quick access. 


There are needs for fruit donations-grapes, cuties/mandarins, and watermelon and granola bars if you are looking to donate goods.  We have several volunteer spots for during the day for cutting/prep and serving fruit during specific shifts.

On the 8-5 days fruit will be served at 10:30 to the kids. The current plan is to offer the granola bars for a 3 pm snack break so please keep the donations of the granola bars streaming in throughout band camp (  they should need volunteers for this as they can pull out boxes of the granola bars from the band room when needed to pass out).  Then on the 5-9 days we are planning a fruit break at 7 pm so we have parent volunteer requests set accordingly.

We also have volunteer requests for the 7/28 BBQ to grill and serve food (so then FYI to parents, your kids will not need to pack lunch that day!! Yay!)

Lastly, we are looking for parents to help with cool cloths.  For those that are not familiar, cool cloths are wash cloth sized cloths that are placed in a cooler of ice water to keep our kids cool and healthy.  The parent responsibility will be to pick up the cloths the day before the assigned day and launder them in hypoallergenic/fragrance free/dye free soap such as seventh generation, or a free and clear version or similar, then  return them in the cooler with ice water.  Currently we have 2 coolers for band, and 1 cooler for guard (we have parents that are already managing the guard cloths for now). 

It's going to be a great week!

Sincerely,

Amy Krostich
Membership Chairperson/Volunteer Coordinator

  Good morning Band Families,  WOW what a weekend! I hope you and your kids feel so proud about this past weekend and the performance they had at Boca. The kids had a great show, judges were so complimentary and constructive, the costumes and props look fantastic, and more. This was an incredible first show (a 1st place win, Best Music, Visual, GE, and Guard did not hurt either!!!) and we are over the moon.  The work does not stop here, though. We have a big competition to look forward to this week, and a MODIFIED rehearsal schedule due to Yom Kippur (G'mar Chatima Tovah to those who observe).  Please read ALL information below, as many important and crucial details are addressed in the itinerary (and the FAQ page). As always, please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns; happy to help in any way!  This will be a great week with 8th grade night and our first time attending the Merritt Island comp. The wo...

  Good afternoon Band Families, Thank YOU for everything yesterday and this whole week! Directors, judges, and schools were nothing but complimentary for the way we host shows. They loved our respectfulness, our helpfulness, and how prepared we were, even with our weather situation at the end. Your kids also did a FANTASTIC job, and were the "talk of the town" in the way they conducted themselves.  That being said - we do need to wrap up some invitational items (air out tents, reorganize the connex, etc) so please see CutTime later today to volunteer tomorrow for Invitational cleanup.  It really does take a whole village to run this event, and we are PROUD to have y'all, our alumni, and our future representing us in such a positive manner.  We are hitting our final 2 weeks. While others might see this as an opportunity to slow down, here at PV, this is where we take advantage and push forward. We are on a great trajectory, and we want to make...

Good morning band families! It's an exciting week ahead of us - first competition week! This week looks strange for our rehearsals, since there are NO sectionals or rehearsals Monday and Tuesday. We really stress (heavily) the importance of the rehearsals on Thursday and Friday to best set us up for success going into the Boca Comp. I tell our kids a lot that "practice to learn your part, rehearsal is to learn how other people's parts go with yours."  It is IMPERATIVE that our kids (and us) are thinking in 'team sport' mentality over individual interests this week, and in general.  Attached are several documents, please pursue and take note of the details. As always, please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns, happy to help in any way. Looking forward to Saturday!!!  Week at a Glance: *** This week's schedule is different because of the holiday *** Monday, September 22 -- No rehearsal Tuesday, September 23 -- No school, no rehearsal...
