We had an AMAZING first two days of band camp this week!!! It has been a joy to see our band kiddos and hear about their summer. We have also learned a TON of music very quickly and we are excited for them to perform at the Build the Beat pep rally on August 6th.
In this newsletter is information for our final two days of band camp (August 5-6), Hawaiian Falls, and band supplies for Concert and Symphonic Band. We would also like to remind you that there is no band camp tomorrow, July 29th. Our building will be closed and we will not be here (Mrs. Black will be at the pool).
Pearson Middle School Band Summer Camp / Build the Beat
The Pearson Symphonic and Concert Bands will perform at the Build the Beat community Pep Rally on Saturday, August 6th. Athletics students will be able to participate in both athletics and band events for the day. To prepare for the event, we will have a summer band camp to help us learn the new music that we will be playing. Our camp will be held on Wednesday July 27, Thursday July 28, Friday August 5, and Saturday August 6.

We understand that some families may still be out of town or on vacation during this time. If your family will be out of town, please communicate that with your band director ASAP (HUGE THANK YOU to those of you who have already communicated with us!). We are looking forward to both our summer band camp and the Build the Beat Pep Rally! It will be a lot of fun to see everyone again and make music together.
