taking part in our Marching Band Program. Items to bring: Water Bottle, Sun Tan Lotion, HAT!, Tennis Shoes with arch support (no sandals, flip flops or flat tennis shoes), Bug Spray,

Instrument and a good attitude.

BAND CAMP IS MANDATORY FOR ANYONE MARCHING,

In the event of rain, outdoor practices will become indoor practices. All camps are held at South Fort Myers High School. Each day begins with roll call in the band room.

Please do not schedule doctor's appointments or anything else that will cause your child to miss any of the camp. If you have questions please fill out the information on the CONTACT US page

of our web site –   www.wolfpackmusic.com. Each student will be required to check in at the welcome table upon arrival at the second day of Band Camp, 7/27/10. Please park and come

to the registration table with your child. Volunteers will be there to assist you and your child with the collection of your Reimbursement Fee deposit and in filling out contact information sheets

and other required forms.

Marching Band Reimbursement Fees for the 2010-2011 school year will be $100.00. Each Marching Band student will be assessed this fee for the expense associated with the dry-cleaning

of uniforms, t-shirts, auxiliary uniforms bus transportation to competitions and association dues.  This is not a participation fee!  This amount is payable in full by the last day of Band Camp,

Friday, August 13th. The $100.00 represents a $25.00 early bird discount to encourage early payment.  We urge you to take advantage of this discount. If not paid by August 13th, the

Reimbursement Fee amount becomes $125.00. Please note that a $50.00 deposit is due on Tuesday, 7/26/10, regardless of which option you choose. The names of all students with

outstanding balances will be reported to the Administration fees and fines list which will not allow attendance of the following school functions: homecoming, prom, grad bash, and graduation.

All marching band students will be responsible for paying for their marching shoes. The estimated cost for the shoes is $40.00. Payment is required before the shoes will be distributed.

The Band Boosters want to encourage you to keep up to date on all Music Department news by checking the calendar on our website, www.wolfpackmusic.com.  We also want to encourage 

you to stay informed about all information pertaining to the Band Program by becoming an active Booster Club member and attending the booster meetings. The first booster meeting of the 2010-2011

school year will be held on Tuesday, August 10th at 6:00 p.m. Your participation at the booster meetings is imperative to the ongoing success of the Band Program at South Fort Myers High School.

You will be kept informed about the marching band season and be given the opportunity to volunteer for concessions and contests during the marching band season.

Because we will be  presenting an overview of the marching band season and volunteer opportunities,  each child in the marching band will be

required to have one parent/guardian  representative at the August 10^th, 2010 Booster Meeting. Please mark your calendar now for this important date.
