A few updates and reminders

First off, we will be having one more booster meeting before band camp begins. We will be meeting Aug. 2 at 7 PM. The meeting shouldn't be too long this time, we will be discussing the needs for the volunteers during the marching band season and election of a booster board. We will keep the booster board simple this year, we will need a president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer with representatives for color guard and band. Please plan on meeting at Main Street Park again unless you hear otherwise.

As I announced in band rehearsal last week, there will be a leadership and drumline clinic at the University of Utah on Aug 2 and 3. I contacted Dr. Brian Sproul and he said that anyone interested in attending still can. All you need to do is show up on the 2nd with your money in hand. I am still trying to find out the place where you will be meeting, but everyone is welcome to attend. Plan on $35 for both days. E-mail me with any questions. This should be a great event to meet other marching band folks around the state.

Finally, next weeks rehearsals. We will plan on meeting at Butterfield Park. Remember, Tuesday's rehearsal is 8-4, bring your own lunch. Wednesday will be 8-12. Please make sure you come well hydrated , ready to work and have fun. Your music for Ecstasy of Gold should be memorized by Tuesday. Invite anyone you know that may want to participate.

Have a great weekend! I'll see you next Tuesday!

Mr. Mangum
