June Marching Camp

-

 Good morning band families, 


Happy last day of school! We are happy to take the first week of your summer break (June 3-7, 9AM-9PM) to keep your kids occupied and in the sun. :) 
Lots of information, none of it in any particular order, but please read through this! (hint hint, most of this is how to get involved in addition to the kids!)

1. We! Need! Volunteers! All and Any!!! Please sign up to help in any way, no job is too small. Several things to help with here:
Parent Potluck🍲 (attend! Socialize! It will be fun!) 
Fruit donations🍇
Fruit cutting,serving and clean up🍉🔪
Dinner pickup and delivery🛻
Cool cloths (because Florida is HOT! Keep your kids cool😎)

2. Things your kids need for band camp next week: Large water bottle (1/2 gallon, we will be getting PV branded ones later), instrument (some are at PV), mouthpiece, SUNSCREEN, white shirt/black shorts/skirts/leggings (no nike pros...), a hat/sunglasses (hat is required! Protect your head!), tennis shoes (no converse, Jordan's, Sperry's, etc.), snacks, lunch/dinner: students should bring lunch, and can either bring dinner, or fill out this form! Meal Order Form
**note on lunch/dinner: Students may not leave campus during these breaks. Parents can bring food, Uber/DoorDash is permissible (but not a rehearsal excuse to leave block or be late), but for safety reasons, no students are allowed to drive off campus for lunch/dinner. Please utilize the form above for easy and quick dinner solutions, it saves us a lot of time and safety concerns!!**

3. We will begin collecting required forms next week, please be checking the HUB for any forms you might have misplaced and need, we also have extra packets in the band room. 

4. Parent communication and ✨CHARMS✨! We need to get ALL of our parents on CHARMS and Slack! What is Charms? Charms is the way we track financial info, volunteering opportunities (especially FLA Live), and more! The quicker we all have accounts, the easier it is! Please follow the instructions attached to this email to create a CHARMS account. CHARMS also has the ability to send out texts (director perspective), and we will be utilizing that function more this year. All new students have already been uploaded, so you should be good to create an account. The school code for CHARMS is PVPerfArts! 
Slack - quick, easy method of communication that is for day-of info, reminders, etc. Here is the link to sign up for Slack: https://join.slack.com/t/pvhs-band/shared_invite/zt-2jlpbput3-NTZ5smJxmRA16usu5gyYrw

5. Band parent meeting June 7, 7PM in the PVHS Auditorium! We will recap last meeting, finish up parent board nominations/elections, and foreshadow what is coming up for the rest of the summer and beyond. 

Another large email later... final thing! It is not too late to add new families into ours! Please spread the word that finances should not be an issue, we have worked anything and everything out for 20 years! Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns - happy to help in any way! We are SO excited to get the ball rolling on this new year. 

Attachment:



See you soon!

  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...
