As we approach our upcoming band camp, I wanted to remind our band families, new and old, about some band camp essentials that will make your experience a lot more joyful and productive:

Essential band camp items include:

• Instrument and supplies, such as reeds, valve oil, etc.
• Water jug filled with ice water (1-2 gallons)
• Packed lunch
• Athletic shoes with socks
• Sunglasses and/or hat
• SUNSCREEN
• Backpack or bag to keep essentials in
• DEODORANT - A LOT OF IT!
• Athletic wear such as shorts, t-shirt, etc.  (Think about what they wear to work out at the gym) 
• Any self-carry meds (see director for any meds that they must administer)
• Body Glide or Friction Defense (Gold Bond) 
• Cell phone (directors will determine when phones can be used through the day)

We'll see you Monday, July 20th, at LHS. Camp starts at 9:00 AM.

Remember. On time is late and early and ready to go is on time!
