Hello Viper Vanguard Family!
I hope this email finds you well! We have had three really great summer rehearsals, with good attendance at each. It will be very exciting to get the whole group together at camp, for sure!
I would like to take a few moments to check in with everyone regarding the statuses of a few items.
- Physical and ECG clearance- If you haven’t stated working on this, NOW IS THE TIME TO DO SO! July is almost here, and we need EVERYONE cleared by the time we begin camp on 7/22. The website has been updated with all proper forms and procedures to obtain clearance. Obtaining clearance is the same process that any athlete would go through, so completing each step is critical to getting it done correctly the first time. https://lbvvanguard.org/athletic-clearance/ has all of the details regarding processes for both current and returning students. NOTE- there isn’t a MARCHING BAND option on home campus, you will need to select Band/JROTC as the option.
- SHOW MUSIC IS POSTED on the website (some of it is up already). It is in a password protected area to protect the show designers and arrangers. It is under For Students > 2024 Music. Send an email for the password.
- The next Monday rehearsal is July 8, 5:30-8:30. That will be the final Monday rehearsal before pre-camp (for percussion and guard) which begins on July 16 (times are still being sorted out with staff there)
- BAND CAMP WILL BEGIN on Monday, July 22 at 8am. Below I have included a helpful document with information that will be beneficial for camp. Band camp is an open environment, you are more than welcome to come watch at any time. We will be searching for volunteers, especially in the mornings, to assist with breaks, water, etc. I will have a sign up genius ready early next week.
As always, please don’t hesitate to email me if you have any questions. The remind also works….for now.
