Band Students and Parents,
Summer is just around the corner and I am sure many of you have already started making plans. Hopefully, this summer band schedule reaches you soon enough that we can limit our conflicts. We should be able to prepare in a few short rehearsals, but it is important that our band program is well represented at Czech Days.
*All grade levels refer the students’ grade level during the upcoming
2026-2027 school year.
If your child needs a Czech outfit, please begin making those arrangements soon. All incoming 6th graders and students who have not marched before will need a lyre and flip book for their instrument. These can be ordered from any music store or many places online. If you need help finding these items, send me an email and I can point you in the right direction.
I know that students are very busy during this weekend, but we want to make sure our band program is well represented at Czech Days as this is one of our most attended performances of the year. It is very important that students are in attendance for rehearsals and performances. Please let me know as soon as possible if your child has any conflicts so that I can plan accordingly. Students must attend at least 1 of the 3 rehearsals during the week of Czech Days to march in the parades unless arrangements are made with me beforehand. My email (leighann.campbell@wilberclatonia.org) is the best way to reach me.
Sincerely,
Leighann Campbell
Any student in grades 6-12 is welcome to take individual lessons during July. This is a great opportunity if you are learning a different instrument for jazz band, preparing for future auditions, or just looking to get ahead. Additional times/days may be made available as time slots fill. Please contact Ms. Campbell as soon as possible if you are interested in individual lessons. Please include your top 3 choices for days/times. I will try to give everyone their first choice, but it will be on a first come first serve basis.
Summer Band lessons will be on June 30-July 1, July 7-8, July 14-15, and July 21-22. Camp for all students is July 28, 29, and 30, and Czech Days is July 31-August 2.
Where: Lessons will be in the band room.
What you need to bring: Instruments, Czech Days music, and your current method book
