Hello Wildcat Band Families!
Just a reminder again about band camp Monday, August 4th, 2025.
REGISTER
There are still about a dozen band members who have yet to register so please do so ASAP but no later than Friday so I can get the show shirts ordered. Please fill out the google form posted on FB, GC and now in your email.
MEDICAL FORM
The medical forms have now been emailed to parents and students. Parents will need to fill out and return on the first day of camp. Please feel free to print it on your own or pick up a hard copy in the band room this Friday, 8/1 from 10am-2pm so you complete it before you arrive. Otherwise, hard copies will also be available on Monday morning at check in. If you are getting the paperwork Monday morning, please plan to arrive by 8:15am to fill out the form which will require a parent signature.
CAMP SCHEDULE
The schedule has been posted here on FB and GC for a few weeks and has now been emailed out to everyone. Hard Copies of the schedule will be available the first day of camp.
*Please note Band Parent Karmen Wilharms will be coming in Thursday morning to take individual band pictures and senior banner photos. After pictures, she will have a link to send out to everyone if you are interested in purchasing.
**We are looking for a band family to host the Wednesday night bonfire. Please let me know if you are interested.
CAMP CHECKLIST
A Band Camp Checklist has been emailed to everyone and posted in GC so you'll know what to bring(and what NOT to bring) :)
SNACK/Friday's Potluck SIGN UP- Please sign up to bring at least ONE item from this list and all slots will be filled!
Items can be dropped off on Sunday from 1pm-6pm or sent with your band student on Monday morning. Thanks so much!
PARENT VOLUNTEERS
We need help with setting up snack & water breaks; checking out or hemming uniforms; Supervising students during lunch; as well as Friday's potluck set up and clean up. Please consider helping with one or more slots if you are able.
2025 Show Shirt Orders
T-Shirt Order Forms for band families will be posted next week. Because of a district policy being enforced, I am unable to offer free shirts for volunteers this year. Shirts will still be available for band families and will be ordered once payment has been made the week of camp. Please ask your band student for an order form on the first day of camp. Show shirts for the students are included in their camp fee and sizes are asked for on the registration.
CAMP FEE
The camp fee has been increased to $90 per student up from $80 the past three years.. This cost includes all instruction, show shirt, and a pair of marching gloves in addition to other band camp supplies for the season. We have not broken even in several years and the district is unable to cover any extra cost. In other words, in order to be allowed to have band camp this year, we must cover all costs. Due to this, I also decided to ask the students to bring their own lunch for this year. It wasn't an easy decision but one that can cut costs down a bit without affecting instruction. Checks should be made payable to Onsted Bands and students can use their band account money if needed. ALSO, please let us know if you have a financial hardship OR are fortunate enough to help cover another student's fee. We never want money to be a reason why a student cannot attend camp.
Thanks so much for sharing your kiddos with me for another amazing year in the Onsted Band Family!
I can't wait for the 2025 Season to begin and look forward to seeing everyone soon!
Take care,
Ms. Mykeloff
