I hope that you have all enjoyed a wonderful, relaxing summer with your families! It’s hard to believe that Band Camp is just under two weeks away. To that end, I wanted to send out a few points of information and some reminders as we get closer to camp.

Band camp runs Monday-Friday, August 13-17, Monday-Friday, August 20-24, both weeks 1:00pm-9:00pm each day, as well as Monday Aug. 27 from 5:00-8:00pm and our Parent Preview the evening of Aug. 28th. It is IMPERATIVE that all Marching Lions students are present for band camp. This two week period of rehearsals is the equivalent of about 3 months of instruction during the school year. During this time, students will learn our halftime/competition field show and receive specialized instruction from professionals on their individual instruments. I can’t stress enough how important it is that students be present at camp.

When students arrive at camp, they need to be prepared to work. They should arrive in shorts (NO jeans please), with socks and athletic shoes as well as a white t-shirt. They need to have their instrument and all accessories, a black binder with plastic page protectors, a highlighter and pencil, and a reusable water bottle marked clearly with their name. Additionally, students should have sunscreen and deodorant. Marching band is an OUTDOOR activity and we want to keep all our students healthy and prepared to work outside. Student will need to bring a dinner for band camp. We are in the process of finalizing a possible dinner meal plan for our students.

Without parent support, the Marching Lions cannot function. During the first 3 weeks of the season, we will be in need of volunteers to help our students be successful. ANY amount of time that you can donate (even just an hour!), would be a huge help. An email with more specific volunteer information will be forthcoming. If you can volunteer during any portion of band camp, please e-mail me directly; timothy.rossettini@vbschools.com.

If you have ANY questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. I am here to help our students be as successful as possible.

Looking forward to yet another wonderful year of music.

Sincerely,
TJR

Tallwood High School Band Boosters-

As a reminder, when volunteering during the school hours at Tallwood HS, please sign-in at the front desk.  No one should come in the exterior band or chorus doors during the instructional day.  We need to comply with all Safe Schools regulations in order to keep Tallwood a safe place.

As of November 8, 2017 the Tallwood Band Program will go LIVE with our new CHARMS program.  Mr. Ross will be handing out the Tallwood Bands CHARMS Startup Guide for Login & Online Registration packet the next 2 days in class.  Please take a moment to discuss the packet with your student.

At this time the Calendar, Event List, E-mail, Finances, Forms Collected,  and Absences are all working.  We hope to add the Inventory/Uniforms/Library by the Winter Concert.  Your students band locker combo (if they chose to receive one) should be in charms as well as any school rented instrument.

Any financial questions can be brought to the attention of our Treasurer, Ms. Sandi Music.  You can actually e-mail her through the CHARMS app.

Looking forward to this new communication system that puts the whole band at our fingertips.
