The Latest Notes
Well as good 'ol Benjamin Franklin said... “If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail!” Then there is this famous line from the poem "To A Mouse" by Robert Burns... No matter how carefully a project is planned, something may still go wrong with it We have been making plans for the 2020 Band Camp since last band camp ended in 2019. Then Covid 19 hit to throw the world into a tail spin. We held our breath and started to alter our 2020 band camp plans hoping for the best considering the current situation we find ourselves in. We have done all the research we could do, carefully read all the executive orders from Governor Whitmer and have listened to the MHSAA/MSBOA/NFHS along with studies coming out of the University of Colorado and a few other places as well. We thought it was all going to work out to continue with Plan A for our 2020 Band Camp. But today we got thrown a curveball. Of course we are a Marching Band and so when the world zigs we zag. So now we will be going to Plan B for Band Camp. Here is what I know as of tonight July 27, 2020:
Several things to be aware of that are great news:
Things we will still need:
I will give you more information as I finalize plans with our administration. Now.... One Last Thing....We have been using the Remind app for a few years now in order to stay in touch with parents and students.
This fall we are going to be changing all communication that would normally have gone through Remind and sending it out via the Band App. Go to band.us to read more about this app. You could even sign up for an account at the website. Better yet though simply use your smartphone and scan the QR code you see below. The Band App is going to give us the ability to get more information out to people in a more efficient manner. I will still be posting information to the Band website (especially the Blog Page - which is what you are reading currently) and also to the Facebook Farwell Area Bands Public Group. Only current students and parents will be allowed access to our bands information inside the Band App. General public should still check the Band Website and Facebook Group. To kick things off in the Band App I have posted our show music. Go to the app, find our Band and then download that PDF (there are three of them) then print your one page with your part on it. Or put it on your smartphone. AND you just might find some great pictures there as well! Comments are closed.
