Hello Tiger Pride!

Week of June 15th-17th: Band Cleaning Project

WHO: everyone who is in town and NOT working at those times…
All Wind/Percussion Student Leaders will be assigned lead duties to oversee during these times. ***You may bring CDs/Ipods. We have sound systems in both rooms and will play music (appropriate lyrics of course!). Leaders will pick what music is boomin’ while we work!
 
Everyone else (including any parents who wish to help out!) will be given assignments to
complete.

I do need Colorguard Leaders, but regular guard members are excused on Mon/Tues because of their evening rehearsals.

TIMES:
Monday June 15, 1:00 - 4:30 PM (Guard leaders excused @ 2:45 PM)
Tuesday June 16, 1:00 - 4:30 PM (Guard leaders excused @ 4PM)
Wednesday June 17, 1:00 - 4:30 PM (if needed)

OBJECTIVES:
Cleaning: old band room/lockers, new band room areas, instruments + cases
Organizing: instruments need to be inventoried, so they can be checked out for this year.
This includes all percussion instruments, stands, cases, and other miscellaneous materials. This can only occur after the areas have been cleaned out.
 
MATERIALS:
Each person should bring rubber gloves, 3-5 rags (to clean with), a bottle of cleaning fluid  (i.e. Formula 409), a couple large trash bags. Don't wear your nice clothes or shoes, they’ll get dirty!
Thanks!

Also, I would like to offer a friendly reminder to sign up and "follow" our twitter account. All Students and Parents will want to have this account set up before Band Camp. I am using this new media forum to post announcements both formal and informal. When the band travels, you will see this as a necessary (and interesting!) way of keeping updated with all that the band is doing. Please note: you cannot reply/respond to the announcement page. This keeps all the information secure and coming directly from me!
