GENERAL NOTES:

MEDICAL TRAVEL FORM - Notarized form must be on file by the first day of band camp each year: Medical and Travel Form 2010-2011

LOCATION - At practice field next to stadium (north side of school)

SCHEDULE - The band is generally on the field in the mornings and the last hour or so each day.  The mid-day hours are usually spent practicing indoors.

BE READY - Students need to be well hydrated starting the night before and eat BREAKFAST each morning.

BRING DAILY - Plenty of WATER (in labeled refillable container or chilled water bottles), sunscreen, sunglasses, hat or visor, hair ties, lunch, and light snacks for breaks
LUNCH - Students may leave campus for lunch (own transportation/no supervision off campus) or may stay on campus.  On some days, students may cool off in the pool during the lunch break (if we have supervision), so bring swimsuits and towels.   
DONATION NEEDS - Extra water bottles and fruit to share (oranges, grapes, watermelon) would be appreciated.  Cases of water bottles are needed for field season.  You may start bringing your cases of water bottle donations during the Tuesday night summer rehearsals (6:00 - 8:00 PM)   

VOLUNTEER NEEDS - Chaperones are needed to help with students (setup, field assistance, breakdown, lunch monitoring).  Please contact the Chaperones Chairperson (bandcamp@lymanband.com) if you can help.
