Band Camp Information and Volunteer Opportunities:
During this week we will be feeding the students and instructors both lunch and dinner as well as 2 scheduled snacks throughout the day (with the exception of supper on the last day of camp). We are one of the few groups that have continued with this tradition. We realize that adequate nutrition and hydration enables our kids to stay focused and maintain an adequate energy level needed to survive and have a fun and productive camp experience.
We can always use volunteers to assist with the preparation/serving of meals and snacks.
Volunteers are also needed to help with the clean-up after meals and at the end of each day. Please contact Gail Motsinger, Tanya Parks, Cindy Leonard, Crystal Debusk or Meghan Palombo if you would like to volunteer.
You are always welcome to drop in for lunch or to visit your student. They are proud of what they learn in a short period of time and appreciate your interest and participation.
Band Camp Donations Needed: We can always use various types of fruit (bananas, cantaloupe, grapes etc…), Muffins, Individually Wrapped Snacks, Cakes and Cookies, Gatorade (powder mix), 2 or 3 liter sodas, and bottled water.
During Band Camp we begin collecting our “stock pile” of Bottled Water, Individually Wrapped Snacks, Crackers, Cakes, and Cookies, Canned Drinks (any variety) and 2 or 3 Liter Drinks (any variety). These items can be brought by the band room throughout marching season and stored as well. The kids are offered a snack and canned soda or water during the third quarter at football games, after competition performances, and parades. Any items you may be able to contribute are always greatly appreciated by all….but especially the kids.
