Dear Parents,

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer!  If you’re receiving this letter it means that your student is either already signed up for band or colorguard, or may be thinking about signing up.  The purpose of this letter is to inform you about important upcoming events including a tentative fall season schedule and information about the program in general. 

The most important upcoming dates for the summer will be our Summer Band Camp on August 3^rd, 4^th and 5^th.  August 3^rd and 4^th will be night rehearsals from 6:00 to 9:00pm.  Friday the 5^th will be an afternoon rehearsal from 2:00 to 5:00.  All rehearsals will be held at THS in room M-2 (the band room) for all band students.  The Band Camp will be a way for all students to get to know each other and to rehearse for the upcoming year.  All band students should bring their instruments.  If you need to rent an instrument from the school you can show up between 5:00 and 6:00pm on August 3^rd and we’ll take care of you! 

Right after our last rehearsal on August 5^th there will be a performance held for all parents in the PA building at 5:30.  This will be followed by a short informational meeting and then our annual Potluck at 6:00pm.  You can put the potluck food in room M-2 before attending the meeting.  The potluck assignments are as follows:

 Last name beginning with:

            A-L:  Please bring a main dish

M-Z:  Please bring a side dish

I know this is a lot of information so if you have any questions about anything feel free to call me anytime!  My cell phone number is 658-1862.  Also, I would like to get started with updating our email lists so please email me and tell me who you are!  Email is the best way that I can communicate with all parents about upcoming events, itineraries, last minute changes, etc.  My email address is dbaudino@turlock.k12.ca.usor d.baudino@hotmail.com– also, please check out our booster website for photos and even more information at www.thsbandboosters.schoolloop.com

Have a great summer!

Our weekly rehersal night is Monday night from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m. in the PA building and is for musicians only.  This will start on the second week of school and continue throughout most of the 1st semester.  The focus of these rehersals will be to improve individual musicianship through small group instruction and sectionals, as well as working on marching technique and pep-band music which can only be done with the full band.  

Most times are approximate - students will receive itineraries before events (excluding football games):

*** Important *** If your student is planning on taking the SAT this year, please have them take the November 5th test instead of the October 1st test to avoid conflict with the Del Mar Review.  Thank you!
