|
Triple Play Productions will be photographing students and sections on Saturday, August 8. Students should wear white shorts, band camp t-shirt, white socks, and marching shoes to school. Students will dress into their uniform for the pictures. Students will NOT wear hats for the pictures, so your hair should be picture-ready when you arrive. Below are the arrival times for each section to report to the band room. NO hats will be worn in pictures, so make sure hair looks nice! |

Interested in Becoming a Chaperone |
|
|
If you are interested in learning more about volunteering as a chaperone there will be an informational meeting Monday, August 3 in the cafeteria at 7pm. We do have several openings and especially need parents that are first-aid and CPR trained. This meeting is also for all those that expressed interest at the parent meeting. If you have any questions you may contact Mike Booth @ mikeboothgm@gmail.com or 859-227-7985. |

Medical Forms |
|
|
Thank You! Medical forms have been streaming in this week. We need AT LEAST page one of the LBA Medical form and the KHSAA Physical form once your child completes their physical. We will give blank forms to those students for whom we do not have at least page 1 of the LBA Medical Form. Please complete the form and return the next day. You can drop off the form to any chaperone under the white tent. If you are unsure of what documentation we have on file contact Mike Booth at the email address below. For safety purposes we do not permit any student to carry OTC or Prescription Medication at any time during practice or on trips.
OTC Medications – If you want the chaperone crew to provide OTC medications listed on the LBA Medical Form, you MUST have a physician sign the 2nd page of the LBA Medical Form and you must designate which OTC medications can be provided to your student. If we do not have a physician signature on the second page of the LBA form then we cannot provide your student with any OTC medications.
Prescription Medications – During every practice and on every trip the chaperone first aid team must have your child’s prescription medications in its original container with a Prescription Medicine Form completed for each prescription. The Prescription Medication Form can be downloaded from www.lafayetteband.org or you can see any chaperone at the white tent or the blue building. It is crucial that we have a form for every prescription medication. Note that the prescription medication form DOES NOT NEED a physician signature. The prescription itself in its original container with your child’s name on the prescription will serve as the physician’s signature. If you have any questions you may contact Mike Booth @ mikeboothgm@gmail.com or 859-227-7985. |

Red Bag Order |
|
|
Students travel with their red bag during marching season. The red bag will hold items like shoes, shorts, t-shirt, and that all-important deodorant. If you do not wish to purchase a red bag one will be assigned to the student for the season. However, many students like having their own red bag, which is a little bigger and has their name embroidered on the top. You can place your order and make payment at the July 20th LBA parent meeting, at the August 7 parent performance or mail the form to the address list on the flyer. |
|
|
Band Store |
|
|
The band store will be open from 6-9 on Tuesday August 4th and prior to parent performance on Friday August 7th. |

Eat Breakfast and Drink Lots of Water |
|
|
Be sure to eat a good breakfast before band camp each day. We find that students still show up without eating breakfast and end up light headed when they stand out in the heat. Next week is forecasted to be in the mid to upper 80’s so it is important that everyone remain hydrated by drinking lots of water each day before, during, and after camp. We strongly encourage each student to bring a filled personal water jug with them to band camp. We have noticed that the students tend to drink more water out of their personal jugs. The chaperone crew will re-fill the student’s jug after each break. 1. The student’s name must be clearly marked on the jug. 2. Make your jug unique so you can easily pick it out. 3. The jug must be left next to the chaperone area if the student wants it re-filled after breaks. 4. All jugs must be picked up after each practice or the jug may be thrown away. |
|
|
8oz Water Bottle Donations |
|
|
We continue to take bottle water donations throughout band camp. Your donations are greatly appreciated by some very thirsty students! If you have any questions you may contact Mike Booth @ mikeboothgm@gmail.com or 859-227-7985. |

Important Band Camp Drop-Off and Pick-Up Notice |
|
|
Please do not drive onto the band field to drop-off or pick-up your student once band camp begins. Use the entrance for the student parking lot located prior to the band lot entrance. Since more than 200 students and staff may be on the band field at any one time, it is important for their safety to keep cars from driving onto the lot. |
