Band Camp is over halfway done and it’s been a great week! The students are looking awesome! The directors and staff are doing a wonderful job!!
BLUE LAKE DONATIONS: If anyone has any Blue Lake clothing they would like to donate, please bring it to camp! Kari Fuller has graciously stepped up to take lead on this. If you need any uniform items for your child, please contact her at fullercklr@yahoo.com
VOLUNTEER LOG: We have started a Volunteer Log. This is located on our coopersvillebands.org webpage. It is located under Band Boosters, Volunteer Log. Please log any volunteer hours that you do with the band!
SCRIP: The next physical card order is due Monday, August 5th.
There will be an informal public performance to conclude band camp on FRIDAY at 3:30 on the BAND PRACTICE FIELD. (located behind the high school band room)
All are welcome to this performance. The students will be demonstrating what they have learned this week.
Band students are required to wear black shoes which cost
$25 as part of their band uniform. Since
kids feet grow just as fast as they do, it seems like most kids will need a new
pair every year. I have offered my time
to help organize a program to re-use shoes from previous years. In order for this to work I need students to
bring in their band shoes that don’t fit anymore this week. We don’t want this to cost anyone any money
so I will take shoes during camp Tuesday and Wednesday. I will organize them and then allow the
people who donated to get shoes first if I have the size your student needs. Please note you don’t have to get used shoes
if you don’t want them. I just ask if
you could still donate your old shoes that won’t be worn again that will help
us get a nice selections of sizes for those that do want to use this program.
What I need you to do…
Shoes must be in good condition.
Please clean them the best you can.
Tie the laces together so they stay together as
a pair.
Please place a paper in the shoe with your
students name so I know who donated and a size if the size is no longer legible
inside the shoe.
Have student place in tote at school.
Some time this week please email me at deannalbrown76@gmail.com with your
kids name, grade and new shoe size and I will see if I have it. We can’t guarantee we will have the right
size for everyone but it will be a start to a new program to help save parents
money in the future. I will work with
Mrs Sprague to get the shoes to your student.
I will also let you know one way or the other so you will know if you
need to order the shoes.
Parents – please have your student check their email for uniform fitting times!! The schedule was also posted all over the band area today. We only had half show up today. Please try to make your time so we don’t have more kids than time to do the fitting. If your student can’t make their time or missed it today, please have them contact Mrs. Sprague asap to schedule another time.
Drumline parents. Please ask your student about drumline shirts. They received a flyer last week. Order and money due by this Friday. Thank you!!
