Nice Job!
Nice performance this past Saturday at the Hopedale 4th of July Parade. It was a beautiful day for our first performance of the season. Congratulations on making it a successful one.
No Rehearsals
There are no rehearsals this week. The week is free for you to prepare for band camp.

Core: Planks – 1 minute, rest 45 seconds (x3), Push Ups – 10 slow (x3), Bridge – 1 minute, rest 45 seconds, Bicycle Crunch – 10 slow (x3), Side Planks – 45 seconds, rest 30 seconds (x2 on each side)

We are currently working on putting the third movement of music together, which should be made available tomorrow. Students are still expected to come into camp with notes/rhythms figured out for the entire show and preferably with the first movement already memorized.
