Band Orientation Meeting and Spring Camp Information
 
NewORIENTATION MEETING

The 2010-2011 Band Orientation Meeting will be held on April 27th in the Joseph Boland Theater at Hillgrove. This year, we will have a 9th grade only meeting at 7pm, followed by a meeting for all at 8pm.

Students are ENCOURAGED to attend, as there will be a separate 'students only' meeting held at the same time.

SPRING CAMP

In addition, the Hillgrove Marching Band SPRING CAMP will be held May 25-27. The Spring Camp is our annual Try-out camp for Marching Band. It is the perfect opportunity for our rising 9th grade students to get a feel for the marching band, and make some great new friends with our upperclassmen.

Any student may attend the camp to check it out. Students who wish to march, but cannot make the camp dates MUST contact Mr Ferrell or Mr Erwin as soon as possible. We will finalize all drill spots by the 3rd day of camp.

3. Students must stay for the entire concert. This is part of our mission statement to educate the students to support one another and to learn proper concert etiquette. Releases may be granted in the case of extenuating circumstances..please contact us if such a case exists.

4. We will be collecting donations at the concert for the Joseph B Boland Scholarship for the Arts. This scholarship will be awarded each year to a student who plans to pursue the arts upon graduation.

5. We will need much help after the concert putting away chairs, stands, instruments, and uniforms. Students who can, please plan to stay and help.

Thanks! We look forward to showing you what hard work has been put in this semester.
