Perry Band Boosters

Do I need to attend band camp? Why is it so many hours? What do we do?

In order to be ready for our first football game performance (the first Friday of the second week of school), we need to learn our music, the drill formations for the shows, and how to march correctly. 

This is our focus during band camp.  All registered students must participate in band camp.

What do I need for band camp?

Please see the Band Camp FAQs that detail everything you need to know about camp.

Where do I get the music?

We provide all music to you the first day of band camp.

When do I get my uniform? What is it?

We have two uniforms: summer and winter. 

The summer uniform is the white band polo shirt, red wind pants, black socks, and black band shoes.  These parts can be ordered on the “Band Camp Fees” form. 

The winter uniform is a marching band uniform jacket and uniform pants (provided by the school), gloves and spats, black socks, and black band shoes (the same as summer band shoes). 

Students will be sized for the winter uniform and band shoes during band camp.  We make sure you have what you need before you step onto the field to perform.

What is happening on Thursday, July 23rd, 2015?

 We will have a regular camp day (8-4), then students will stay at the school and be fed dinner before getting ready for the 7pm “Parent Preview Performance” in the stadium. 

This performance is free and open to everyone – we hope you can attend!

If I am a band parent, can I help out in some way?

We definitely need parents to help out with lunch time and with snacks at the concession stand during camp week. 

If you would be willing to volunteer an hour or two, it would be a huge help! 

Please indicate your interest on the “Band Camp Fees” form or email perryband2012@gmail.com.

Also, please visit our Volunteering Page.

I am not available for band camp, can I help during the season?

We need volunteers to serve as away game chaperones and to help with home concession stands! 

We will have a sign-up sheet at the “Parent Preview Performance” on July 23rd.

What’s with all of these forms I have to fill out?

It is critical that we have all the information necessary to keep every student who participates safe and to make sure they have what they need to participate successfully. 

The Emergency Medical Authorization only needs to be filled out once and given to Mr. Hruska. 

Each student must have a current physical to participate in band because marching band is such a physical activity.  Physicals are good for an entire school year. 

Please ask if you have questions about any of the enclosed forms.

This is costing a lot of money? What if I cannot afford this?

There are resources through the county for free and reduced health care if you do not have the means to go through a regular doctor’s office. 

It is important to us that every student who wants to participate can, and we will help out however we can to make this happen.

What if I have other questions that have not been answered?

Feel free to contact other band parents and students who have been with the group.  

Where do I pick up my student after an away football game?

You can either park in the parking lot across from the band room, or if there is room in the high school bus loop, pull into the loop and sit on the LEFT side of the incoming portion of the loop. The buses will pull up and drop off students on the RIGHT side of the incoming portion of the loop (just outside the doors that lead down the hall to the band room.)
