  Good afternoon Band Families, Your kids just had a KILLER June Camp! This is the best camp we have had in my 4 years here, and y'all know I don't sugar coat. :) Your kids were prepared, we can march and play on the move, we can play through the first half of our show, color guard has choreographed the first 1/4th of the show in full... things are GREAT here on Jog Road.  That being said, I hope that all of you are finding time to rest, recuperate, and enjoy your summer before we are back for July camp and where we learn drill! Drill is where we put the visual aspect of the marching band show together in conjunction with the music they have been learning so far. The kids get specific coordinates on the field that they need to learn, and they all learn together to make sure we can bring our wonderful show to life.  We had a parent meeting last Thursday, and attached below are the slides. Please see attached for the required paperwork as well.  **SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT FA...

  Good afternoon band families,  This week is the week for June camp! At first, I completely understand, this might look daunting. 12 hour days for the kids seem like a lot on paper, but these kids are warriors and handle it so well for 4 days!  We give them ample breaks, enforce safety practices (I have been telling them since April that they are athletes and we will treat them as such; they need to respect their bodies), and we make sure that the kids are hydrating all day. The growth they have in 4 days is astronomical, and it really is my favorite part of every year. 9-9's have been a PVHS "tradition" since the beginning, and the kids bond really well. This will be a GREAT week! **Special note for our parent meeting on June 5 - please make every effort to be there, so we can go over fees, trips, calendars, etc.** Please see attached for the graphics we have been sending the kids on their Band Camp checklist, as well as recommended shoes for the act...
