...A Note from Patty Heinekamp, Band Camp Coordinator... School has only been out for a few days and we are already thinking about next year and the fall marching band show “Rock Band”! With that comes talk of band camp. I am again coordinating the week, which runs from August 8 to the 15th at Camp Duncan and am looking for volunteers to stay with the children. This is a great experience for everyone! The kids are not only learning their show but they are also forming new friendships, as well as learning to work as a team. For the parent volunteers, it is a great time to meet the other parents and get to know all of the kids in marching band. While there are responsibilities for the parents, there is also a significant amount of free time during the day. The main responsibility is staying in the cabins with the children at night, along with other simple duties periodically during the day. We need your help in order for this to be a success! This will be my fourth and final time at band camp as my daughter, Katie, will be a senior next year. I am looking for someone to train to take over the coordination of band camp next year. Please let me know if this is something you are interested in doing. Please let me know if you are able to volunteer at Camp Duncan -- it could be for a night or two, or for the entire week! Whatever you can give is always greatly appreciated! Please feel free to contact Mrs. Heinekamp should you have any questions or concerns!
SUMMER FUNDRAISING AND VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES!

You can start to earn your volunteerism credits now! Car Washes: Check back here for future car washes. Car washes are held on the northeast side of the high school, near the band trailer. All band and Spirits members are encouraged to work the car washes!

Shift times and details will be forthcoming later this summer. Bears Games: We are once again fortunate to be allowed to earn funds for the band program by clearning and wiping tables in the indoor club levels at Soldier Field for all Bears home games. Transportation is provided to and from Soldier Field! Also, some exciting news for student accounts...

2009-10 BAND BOOSTER BOARD OPENINGS Due to some of our board members "graduating" with their senior students, we have the following openings for the 2009-10 school year: Concession Stand Coordinator(s).
