July Rebel Band NewsHappy 4th of July!!! We hope everyone is having a great summer so far. Here are a few reminders:
1) Summer band starts August 4th. Please check your summer letter or the letter on the band website (www.southsiderebelband.org) for the dates and times. It is going to be a great band and a great show.
2) We will have a work day for all student band officers, captains, drum majors, and section leaders on Monday July, 28th from 9:00am to 4:00pm. We will feed you lunch.
3) Those going to ATU band camp will have 2 sectionals on July 9 and 11 at Southside.

4) The information about the Hawaii is on the website. What a trip it will be!!! The $200 deposit is due on September 2nd.
5) Please make sure you have a flip folder and lyre for your instrument. Go ahead and purchase these before summer band. We will order band shirts and marching shoes during summer band.
6) There is a used F attachment Bach trombone and a used Buffet R13 clarinet for sale. Both are great deals. If you are interested, please let us know.
7) The all-region books and music are listed on the band website. We use Set 1 music for this year. The books you will need for all-region try-outs and sectionals are listed. You can purchase these at Saied Music and other local music stores. Start working on the all-region music.
8) Please practice your half-time music. You can listen to it on the band website. The more you can do know, the better the band will be in August. We will see and hear many great bands this year. We want to be the best by being the best prepared. "Failing to prepare is preparing to fail."
9) The Carriers are expecting a boy and a girl! Names are not yet picked. Mom continues to do well. They are due October 29th if they are carried to full term.
We look forward to seeing each of you on August 4th. Please check the website for regular updates. It has a great deal of information (summer letter, calendar, all-region music, etc).
Go Rebels!
