MEALS

MUSIC

        It is essential that all wind players review music prior to camp.  We will put files up on the website shortly so that you can listen to and download your music (We are using a custom show and parts should be uploaded after July 15th).  Our music will of course be completely memorized for performance. Additional music for our tradition pre-game show and for stands playing will be issued during camp. 

 

Show Music can be found (After July 15th) in the members section of our website:

HEADS UP

        Please take some time during these couple few weeks to look over your music, work out rhythms, fingerings, and notes, and begin to memorize. Get your "chops," legs, and stamina in shape. We'll be hitting it hard from the first day! The majority of the field show will be learned by the close of camp.

 

PRACTICE FIELD ALERT

        Be prepared for hard work on the practice field. You should come with good athletic shoes, hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen. Practice footwear music be "lace-up" (NO FLIP-FLOPS OR SANDALS). A personal water container of some kind is essential. Large coolers of water will be available at every practice. New students are reminded that you must have your completed medical clearance form on file in the LVC health office before you may participate in field practices. 

 

 

 

 

YOU MUST PURCHASE A FLIP FOLDER.

        You will be responsible for keeping up with your coordinates for each set. Your section leader will be provided drill charts. Please bring your own flip folder/lyre with approximately 15 plastic pages for your music.

 

SHOES, GLOVES, SHIRTS, JACKETS, AND OTHER BAND STUFF! 

        For performances, all playing members will need to provide lace-up black band shoes. If you already have suitable black shoes for marching, bring them with you for staff approval. Shoes with "rolled" toe and heel (Dinkles-type) are preferred and recommended. For those in need of shoes, we have available for order at band camp a black "athletic" type shoe ("Style-Plus") at $33.00. Guard members will not need this shoe. Footwear for guard members will be discussed at camp. Individual band members are also responsible for providing one pair of white gloves (with the exception of percussion). Gloves will also be available for order at camp (deluxe white rubber dot palm with Velcro wrist band) at $6.00.

 

2022 season "Pride of the Valley" T-shirts at $21.00 (to be worn under the uniform at performances) may be ordered during band camp. These shirts will be required.

 

FURTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST:

        Optional popular "Pride of the Valley" items available include personalized, embroidered, fleece-lined zippered warm-up jackets ($75.00). All of the above items may be charged to your LVC student account.
