Notes from the Director                                             July 16, 2023


Dear students and families,

What an AMAZING "rookie camp" we just had! Congrats to all the members who were here-- your growth was AWESOME to see and we can't wait for Monday! THANK YOU so much to all the parents who helped this weekend chaperoning, coordinating the cookout, and working on props. Your hard work is so greatly appreciated! Thank you for working so hard for these young men and women!

Band camp starts TOMORROW (for every member of the marching band!) and we are so excited to get the season started officially! Drill has been written, music is ready, rooms are setup, and we are ecstatic for the next two weeks of growth! EVERYONE-- please read below; there are LOTS of announcements and reminders!

Need a reminder of the MB schedule? Click HERE or go to kellbands.org and click "calendar" at the top. You can also sync it to your phone!
As always, stay informed and updated via kellbands.org-- see you soon!!

Sincerely,
David Roth

WATER JUGS!

Water jugs are complete! Every marching band student will receive a half-gallon, personalized water jug at band camp. Cost is $15 and students should turn in money to their section leader. If money is a problem, please first talk to the section leader (there may be a plan in place already to cover costs) and then contact me at [email protected]. We'll work it out! Money is due by the start of band camp 7/17.

UNIFORM PICTURES PREPAY LINK
Yearbook pictures in uniform will take place LATER IN THE SEASON (was going to be 7/29, we have moved that date to October 13). You can still prepay for your individual pictures by visiting: https://vando.imagequix.com/g1001028911

Prepay orders will arrive sooner than orders made the day of or later, plus you won't have to pay shipping. Orders made the day of pictures or later will need to pay shipping since the orders will deliver to your home, not the school.

Seniors, no word yet on senior uniform pictures. We'll let you know when we have more info!


EAGLE SCOUT PROJECT NEEDS FUNDING HELP!
One of our own, Johnny Swanson, is completing his Eagle Scout project with a set of bleachers at the marching band practice field for the entire community to enjoy. Please help him fund this project! https://gofund.me/5c68bbab
