Welcome Back, Purple Regiment!

Hello, Purple Regiment!

We’re so excited to see you all tomorrow morning! Please take a look at the reminders below to be sure you’re prepared to succeed over the next two weeks.

1. Everyone will meet in the band room at 8am. Make sure you arrive at school with enough time to be settled before the meeting starts.
2. Go drink water. Right now. It is imperitive that you remain hydrated throughout the marching band season. There will be water coolers at the field, so bring a water bottle with you to refill as needed during all rehearsals.
3. For Pre-Camp (July 26-30) you are responsible for providing your own lunch and dinner. Consider what food you eat and how that will impact your energy and ability to perform while outside in the sun!
4. Go find your instrument and check to be sure you have your mouthpiece, reed, lyre/flipfolder, and anything else you need to play. If you do not have a lyre or flipfolder we have plenty at school and will distribute them as needed tomorrow.
5. ALL parents and students are required to attend the meeting in the band room on Thursday, July 29th at 8pm. It is very important that you attend so we can update you on our plans and procedures for the year.
6. We will use Remind to communicate important information via text. Please sign up for the Purple Regiment class by clicking here, or by texting @NWHSPR2021 to 81010.
