LW Marching Arts Update

We are excited to announce that we will have a food truck or restaurant available every day during lunchtime at band camp!

Each lunch is $10 cash (exact change only, please) and students MUST sign up via the link below by Sunday, July 16. Extra food will NOT be available, so please make your selections or choose "I will bring my own food" by then. EVERY LWMB member should complete this form and parents who are volunteering during camp are welcome to purchase lunch as well.

There are multiple food choices offered for each meal and the choices are listed on the google form. In addition to lunch, there will be the opportunity to purchase one dinner at $10 cash (exact change only) and two meals provided at NO CHARGE on the longer band camp days. Dinners are also listed on the google form below.

Also, please note that many meals do NOT come with a drink. Each entree is listed with corresponding sides/drinks as provided by our restaurant partners.

You can also check Charms to see what forms have been submitted for your child including physicals. Click the Forms Collected button to see what still needs to be turned in for your child. Thanks!

This last week before band camp is an excellent time to try to sell more SIAM cards. If you need more cards, please text Jen Clark at 708-860-2434 to request more. Additional cards will be available at the SIAM checkpoint on Tuesday, July from 5:30-6:30pm at LW CENTRAL.

Did you know that if each band member sells 21 cards, we will reach our program goal of 3500 cards and earn a pizza party!

*Keep yourself hydrated! Band camp days are long and hot. Start taking care of yourself now!

*Do some physical activity to help prepare your body for band camp. Get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather, take walks, ride your bike, jog, etc.

*Find/purchase your water jug. We recommend the students bring at least a half gallon size water jug to every rehearsal. Label the jug with your name, so if it is accidentally left behind, it can be returned to you!

*Spend some time each day playing your instrument. This will help your endurance when we have our longer rehearsals. Practice the show music and parade music and don't forget to turn in your weekly assignments!

*Make sure you are signed up for Remind messages to keep informed over the summer and students should make sure they have a way to contact their section leaders if they have questions leading up to our first rehearsal.

*Invest in some good supportive gym shoes and wear them before the first day of camp to break them in. LWMB members are on their feet A LOT so good, well-fitting shoes AND socks are a must!

*At every rehearsal, the woodwinds and brass wear white shirts while the percussion, color guard and drum majors wear black shirts. Start looking for deals on these items now. Dri-fit material is great for wicking moisture away from the body as well!

Reach out to Communications Liaison, Jen Clark, with any questions you might have.
