Help needed at Camp White in August
PARENTS ... WE NEED YOUR HELP AT CAMP WHITE!
Last year was our first at Camp White and what a huge success it was ... it really set the stage for an incredible Marching Band season and carried us all the way to San Francisco gold!
Well, we're going there in just a short time AND we need your help. We're looking for parents willing to work in the kitchen preparing meals, willing to help set-up camp, willing to supervise our students when they're not with me, willing to prepare snacks before camp, and much more. If you want a chance to REALLY get to know our wonderful Band students, why not join us at Camp White?
DATES: Tuesday (August 19) through Friday (August 22)
Also, we need parents willing to prepare snacks, possibly lunch and bring drinks for our first day of Band Camp (Monday - August 18). We will be practicing at WVHS all day from 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM.
For more info on both of these opportunities, please email Jim Loucks at jim.loucks@wvsd.com
We are going to have another GREAT season, but can't do it without you!!! Thanks so much.

IMPORTANCE OF YOUR COMMITMENT
Our 2008 “Cirque de Soleil” Show, with selections from the ever popular “Quidam” and “La Nouba” productions, promises to be one of our best ever! The music is high-energy, passionate, and exotic, AND the drill more demanding than ever. The show is being written for a specific number of performers, which was determined by the number of students enrolled for the 2008-2009 school year. So, it is really important that you follow through on your commitment to our award-winning Marching Band … thanks!
