If you are marching next fall in the color guard next fall, new or returning, please read below:
Info Night/meeting for all guard members:
Guard will have a short info night/meeting with students and parents on Tuesday, May 26th at 6:30 pm in the band room at LHS. Please make arrangements to be here with us at that time. The meeting will be with Megan (Guard Instructor) and will be an overview of what to expect for this year with guard, sectional plan for the summer, and what you will need to have for all practices, etc.
Sectionals before school gets out:
After May 26, we have one practice before school gets out for the summer. This will be on Tuesday, June 2 from 5 – 9 pm at the LHS Band Room. We will not have practice the last full week of school because of exams.
Sectionals For the Summer:
Sectionals will begin on Tuesday, June 16 for the summer. All sectionals will be from 5–9 pm. Sectionals will run through July, with the first week of August being free so that you can have a week off before camps start for the whole marching band.
Optional Sabre Clinics:
Every Tuesday, starting June 16, when we have sectionals we will also offer optional sabre clinics for you to come to from 2–4 pm. We encourage all of you to attend but this is optional and we will focus on spinning sabre as a part of our equipment for those who attend. It will cost $215 (you get to keep your sabre) and money must be turned in to Megan by the information meeting on May 26th. Cash or check made out to Doug Courter.
What happens after sectionals and mini camp are over:
After sectionals end in July, you will have the first week of August off…and the next time you report is with the entire band to Pre-Camp on Sunday, August 9th at LHS. Follow the full band schedule for camps/practices from here. All of this information is updated on the band calendar already.
