Hello Band Students and Parents! All new and returning band students:  Please fill out this form to confirm your status for band camp.  I would appreciate you doing so as soon as possible, or at least by August 1.  Since I know not everyone checks their email regularly over the summer, I would appreciate it if you would ask others you know in band if they received this email.  If you are receiving this email but have decided not to continue with band this year (and I hope that’s not the case), please indicate in the form above so that I can remove you from our mailings and update my rosters accordingly.
