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. |

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. |

Drop Off in the Student Parking Lot |
|
|
LBA Medical and KHSAA Physical forms – Remember we need at least the first page of the LBA medical form completed and signed and the KHSAA Physical form after your child’s physical. If you would like for your child to get OTC medications then we need the second page of the LBA medical form completed and signed by a physician. 8oz Bottled Water Donations – We provide every student a water bottle prior to every performance. That is approximately 2,400 bottles of water or 150 gallons of water over the course of the marching season. 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. |
