I hope you’ve had a wonderful break during June! We are so excited to see everyone again soon and get this new season started! Thank you to our awesome Boosters/Creek Crew for updating the website and getting communications out over the summer. I spent some time today going over the Band Registration Forms and believe that everyone is now attached in the email communications through MyMusicOffice. If your friend or section mate is not, please have them start by checking their junk/spam folder (mass emails sometimes go there) and make sure it’s not a work or school email. If it is, have them reach out to me via email with their personal email and I’ll get it to them. If you missed a past email, you can now see them on the website. Go to bchs.band > scroll to bottom of the page > Under “Resources” Click “Band News” and all past emails from me and the boosters are here for reference.

A Few Last Thoughts
- Please review the Fair Share information in past emails or on the website.
- WATER! This is the MOST important thing during the season. Remember to hydrate the day before, not just the day of. The water you drink today is for tomorrow. Try to drink a minimum of a gallon a day during these camps. If you don’t, you’ll feel things like headaches, fatigue, nausea, and more.
- Healthy Meals! The “Fuel” you put into your body is what you burn during the athletic activities. Please try to avoid things like fast food, junk food, pizza, sugary drinks like energy drinks and soda and replace them with good protein, vegetables, and grains.
- Get involved! We have a great group of students here ready to make this marching season a wonderful experience for you! Meet new people, be involved with our activities, and make memories that will last a lifetime! Parents, this means you, too! Our Creek Crew is a great group of parents that love supporting the activity their kids love. They often have just as much fun as the kids do and we can’t do it without you! Please sign up for a shift when you see the sign ups.
- Forms can be found here: https://bchs.band/forms/
We look forward to seeing some of you tomorrow!
