Band Camp Reminders
All
payments must be submitted by the start of pre-camp. Medical forms must be turned in to Mr Grom by the first practice attended. Students
who have not been fitted for uniform and/or shoes please see Mr. Grom.
Parents,
please remember the parent orientation on Sunday, August 12th at 1:00 pm. It’s a good
opportunity to meet the other parents and learn how you can help the students
through the year.
If
you have any questions or concerns feel free to contact Mr. Grom at: 330-861-9491 (cell) 330-794-4132 (work) agrom@akron.k12.oh.us
Band
camp is one of the most important weeks of the marching band season. We learn
our show, develop our marching and playing skills and, most importantly, get to
know one another.
Although camp is at Ellet,
students and staff are to be isolated during the day and so we ask there be no
visitors. We all need to learn to rely on each other and focus on performing
together.
