Week at a glance – Next Disney Trip Payment is June 29th.
Greetings,
Welcome to the Sprague Band program for the 26-27 school year. Mr. Randolph and I are excited you are a part of this program. We are looking forward to a fun year of music making. Below are the updates for June. In general, we are shifting towards the marching band season. Please note there is the Iron Man Fundraiser in July and mark you calendars for MUSIC DAY on September 12th. Music day is our largest fundraiser for the year, and all hands are on deck for the event. June camp is for all Sprague Band Members, but August Band and Guard/Perc Camps are required for all marching band members. August is dedicated to learning over 50% of the show to include on field movements and music memorization. Missing drill learning days is difficult as it affects the entire band to get everyone on the same page. If you have conflicts, please contact me. Encourage students to begin acclimating to the outdoors over July. Chores, gardening, hiking, and in general being active outdoors along with proper hydration will prevent students from getting fatigued.
Thanks,
Mr. A
