Here is a welcome message from 2007 with information about the band program, specifically for new band parents. While written in 2007, it is still the same today.

Please add yourself to the band's email distribution list by clicking here and filling in the details.

Here is a 10 minute video, also from 2007, which is an introduction to summer band camp.

Update: The problem with the text message sign up list has been fixed, for now.

To Be Removed From The List
Also, if you wish to be removed from the text message distribution list, please send a text message, FROM YOUR PHONE to wvoff "at" coldstreams.com where "at" should be replaced with the "@" symbol.

To Be Added to the List
If you wish to be added to the text message alert distribution list, please send a text message FROM YOUR PHONE to wv "at" coldstreams.com where "at" should be replaced with the "@" symbol.

This list is used primarily for urgent reminder messages, plus 1 message per month to remind you of your list membership (Sorry - I can't disable that feature). We generally send very few text messages on this list.

All requests to be added or removed are reviewed by me (to avoid spammers) so it may take a bit before you end up on or off the list.

HELP ON YOUR SHOW MUSIC

I will be at WVHS to help anyone with their music on the following days:

Monday - August 2 (6:00 - 7:30 PM)
Monday - August 9 (6:00 - 7:30 PM)

Just a reminder... don't memorize your music until you've been assigned a specific part. See you on Monday.

Car Wash this Saturday July 24th from 10-4.

Shifts are 10-1 and then 1-4.

We need students to either email or text if they want to work. We will also be having the drum majors contact students to see if they will work.

We also need parents to help with the 1-4 shift. Please let Sam know if you can help with the 1-4 shift.

Thanks!
Sam Roderick

Calling all bakers and makers!! Unable to attend and help with Band Camp? Then bake or make some snacks for the kids. It helps us cut down on some of the cost of snacks for the kids if parents can make or send snacks.

Let me know if you have any questions on what to make or send.

Band Camp at Camp White is August 17th-20th

Thanks!

Here is a list of ways you can help. Please look at the options and call Diane Clinton at 892-5377 (home) or 714-8746 (cell) or send an e-mail to ddclinton "at" hotmail.com or diane.clinton "at" wvsd.com.

We will need a total of 60 dozen of these items.

Procure or purchase paper goods and other food supplies:

If anyone has any connections with grocery stores, Starbucks, snack food companies, etc., we can really use their donations for this fundraiser. However, be aware that no carbonated drinks, fruit, soups or other prepared food is allowed.

Thank you in advance for your help with this project!

This is a reminder that we have another Band Car Wash this Saturday July 10th from 10-4. The last car wash did good so remember to tell everyone to come have their car washed again. I am sure they are dirty since the last one.

We need all Band Students that can help to come and work. The shifts are 10-1 and then 1-4. The more hands the easier it is.

I am also looking for a couple parents to help in the morning and a couple to help in the afternoon.

Please email me if your child is going to help or if you can help as a parent. Also let me know what time your child or you will be working.

Thanks!
