COUNTDOWN TO BAND CAMP: 49 DAYS

Hey Woodwinds!
It's my first blog update!
I hope you're getting excited for a GREAT marching season! I can't wait to get started :)

But before we get there, we still have a few things to wrap up for the 2010-2011 school year:

First things first: GRADUATION!
All Panther Creek Band students are required to play for graduation. You need to be AT Panther Creek by 1:30 on Saturday, June 11, with your instrument and in concert attire!
Keep in mind that we will be carrying only instruments (not cases) on the activity busses. You will leave cases and other large belongings at the school!
It's so important that we make graduation special for our seniors! They've done so much for us, our school, and our band program, and they deserve to be recognized for that. Be sure to keep practicing your music! We need to represent the PC Band well at all times!

Next: CLEAN-UP !
It's the end of the year, which means that those dirty, smelly, and sweaty marching band shoes/clothes need to be cleaned out of band room lockers, and taken home (or thrown away?). We all know how disgusting that locker area can get if it's not taken care of, and we want our band room looking lovely for the first day of band camp!
Also, be sure to take your LOCKS off of your lockers and take them home for the summer.

and one final announcement: DCI MONEY!
Our band's trip to Atlanta for the Drum Corps International show (Saturday, July 30) is SO important! I've been for the past two years and it's incredible to see, AND it's open to everyone! Band students, friends, family, PC alumni, and ESPECIALLY rising ninth graders! To reserve your spot, print out this form,

and send it in to the band boosters address listed there along with your payment. PLEASE consider going! We have three current Panther Creek Students marching with various drum corps this year, as well as one PC alum, and it would be awesome to have a large group to support them!

I'll be updating this blog frequently over the summer with announcements and other fun things, so be sure to stay tuned!
Also, if you have not already, you should be hearing from your Section Leaders and Squad Leaders about upcoming band camp news, which is always exciting. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask! My email is sarahmorton232@aol.com, and I'm here to help!

I hope you all have a fantastic last day of school, and be sure to start drinking lots of water! :)

Love,
Sarah Morton
