Band Camp at Camp White - Information
Dear WVHS Band Parents and Students:
Please find attached information for our upcoming Band Camp at Camp White in Post Falls, Idaho. This will be the third year we have gone there and it has been a huge success in the past as it will be this year. So, please take a look at the attachments and bring the filled out forms and payment on Monday, August 17. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Students, it's really important that you attend Band Camp... not only will the group benefit, but you'll get a better idea of what's so special about being a part of the West Valley High School Marching Band. It's contagious!
Athletes, schedule conflicts can be worked out... it's just an email away, so communicate soon and often. You can successfully participate in sports and band at WVHS! Unlike some sports, Band has no substitute players on the sidelines. Every band member is critical to the "team". So be pro-active and advise your Director and coaches early and often about potential conflicts so that issues can get resolved.
Parents, we cannot do it without you... your support is invaluable! Whether it's baking cookies for Camp White, loading the equipment truck, or sleeping on a comfy gym floor, you'll catch the fever and go through the withdrawal pains like we all do when there are no more evening rehearsals or weekend competitions. The "Eagle" Marching Band... it's obnoxiously contagious!
So, get involved and enjoy the trip of a lifetime... the fun begins on August 17th!!!
For you new parents and students, we have our Band Orientation/Barbeque on Friday, August 14, at WVHS beginning at 6:00 PM. More information later.
Thanks.
Jim Loucks, Band Director
