| DRUMLINE REHEARSALS every Thursday evening from 6:00 – 8:00 pm |

| PRE-CAMP WEEK Please plan to attend all the rehearsals. Contact your employer early so you can make the proper arrangements to be at these very important four days. Pre-camp will begin on Monday, July 22nd and run from 5pm to 9pm. through Friday, July 26th, 2013. Parents, we will ask you to come out on Friday to witness what we have done and enjoy some refreshments. During these camps, we would ask that you bring a water bottle (we will provide the ice water), instrument and music, proper clothing and socks/shoes. This will be pretty intense, but we will all be working together to become one unit, one band and one family. |
|
|
| PHANTOM REGIMENT On Tuesday, July 9th, the Phantom Regiment Drum and Bugle Corps is staying at IVC High School. Come watch them rehearsing during the mid-morning and early aftetrnoon. |
|
| ST. LOUIS MLB PERFORMANCE We have been asked to participate at one of the regular season professional MLB games for the St. Louis Cardinals. The Cardinals are hosting the LA Dodgers on August 6-8. We plan to attend one of those games and perform the National Anthem before the 7:05 pm start. We are working out all the details and will produce an itinerary and other much needed information for all those attending. Alumni of this year’s ensemble will also be invited to perform (optional) before they head off to college. If you are one of those alumni, please get in contact with Mrs. Daly for uniform fitting. |
|
| LESSONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cathy Mitchell and Brian Russell are willing to come to IVC next semester and give lessons to our kids!!!! Cathy is an expert clarinetist (coached Michael German and Haley White- fine clarinetists) and Brian Russell (coached several students at Mossville) is a professor of trombone at Knox College. They are both willing to provide training for a very, very small fee of $7 per lesson. Please have your student take full advantage of this opportunity. As a musician, they can grow exponentially and develop the skills in just four onths. Again, it’s during the school day and it will cost them the equivalent of an extra skinny mocha latté. I beg you to encourage your band students to take advantage of these opportunities from these talented musicians. |

| CIVIC CENTER IVC band parents have the opportunity to earn money for their band student’s account by working at a concession stand during events in downtown Peoria. A handful of parents worked at the recent Michigan-Bradley game and they were swamped! This is a moneymaker that can accumulate funds for you very quickly. These parents made around $500, which was split between those that worked. That is huge for the Peoria Civic Center! Please contact Alanda Hunt 309.258.1648 if you would like to help. We have several events approaching that will make money for your child’s band account. |
