Reminder

Please remember to take home your instrument after this performance.  This would be a great time to clean it or bring it to a music store for repairs or cleaning.  We will be clearing out all lockers over the summer, so please make sure you have taken home your shoes, band t-shirts, and any other valuables.  We hope you find time to practice your field show music during the summer months.  It should be memorized by the beginning of Band Camp on Monday, August 26^th

If you have any conflicts with band camp, you must notify Mr. Welch or Mr. Oldfield  NOW.  If you need to contact them over the summer, you can email them at christopher_oldfield@gateschili.org  jeffrey_welch@gateschili.org
