We have a lot of work to do this summer and we are already a tiny bit behind. Please view the calendar for July and August to see all of our upcoming rehearsals. It is important that you keep in constant communication with me so that I can plan accordingly if you are not going to be able to make it. Percussion Camp is very, very important so please plan on being there. The first rehearsal on July 12th is an audition, so-to-speak. You will have material to play later this week that will be put on the website. I want to have all exercises and the opener learned and mastered before we even get to band camp. That will be a huge change from where we were at this point last year. Again, I hope you are all having an excellent summer and I hope you are as excited to get next year started as I am.
