Good Afternoon,
This is a reminder that the summer camp registration deadline is this week! Camp is starting to fill quickly. Please remember that this camp is not only for current band students; it is open to all students entering grades 1-8, regardless of music experience!
We'd like to see all returning band students participate in camp if possible. Please let me know if there is anything we can do to help make this possible for your child. Students who attend will make 8-10 weeks of progress in 8 short days.
Students entering grades 4-8 who have never been in band before can participate in the beginning band camp. We provide an instrument, teach them to read music, and teach them to play the instrument. These students will learn enough during camp to perform in the camp concert.
Students entering grades 1-3 participate in the elementary music camp. This camp is taught by certified elementary music teachers.

Band Concert
Good Morning,
Please read all the way through - lots of information here...
Congratulations to all of our band families and hard-working students for a terrific spring concert last night. We have had a very successful school year, and have started our preparations for this summer and next school year. Here are some reminders (more details will be sent out about all of these over the next week):
- We have about a week left for summer music camp registration, and we still have space left. We would like all returning band students to be at camp if possible. If there is anything we can do to help make this possible for your child, please let me know. We have 12 teachers and about 75 high school volunteers to make it a fun and productive experience. This is especially important for students who will be in our advanced ensembles. Camp is open to all students entering grades 1-8. Registration information can be found at www.bridgewaterband.com.
- All school instruments should be returned to Bridgewater by tomorrow. I will send out a summer rental form so instruments can (and should) be taken home for the summer.
- I have received a couple of emails about whether or not to return instruments to the music stores over the summer. Please do not do this - it is important that students practice/play during the summer. Students who do not play at all over the summer risk losing the progress they have made this year, and could result in some needing to repeat beginning band. I will send out an email about summer playing opportunities for students (the best being band camp).
- Wind Ensemble students (boys) should have returned their jackets/bow ties/cummerbunds by Friday.
- We are looking for new parents to take over some leadership openings with our band parent group for next year. If you would like to be involved, please email me ASAP.

Disney Trip - Tomorrow!
Good Afternoon -
This is a reminder that our Symphonic Band will be going to EPCOT and Downtown Disney tomorrow. Here are some last-minute reminders.
All students need to bring their band uniform with them in a bag. This includes black shoes and black socks (boys), as well as all other uniform parts.
We will be having lunch early at school. I strongly encourage students to bring a bag lunch if possible. This will help us leave on time/
All students should be wearing their band t-shirt when they arrive tomorrow.
We will be departing BMS at about 11:10am. We will have dinner in EPCOT around 5, then depart for downtown Disney. The performance will be at 8pm (as long as weather cooperates).
If you would like to take your child home from the performance, just meet us at the buses after. Please be sure to sign them out with their chaperone.
Finally, we should arrive at BMS by 9:00pm, and will park in the car loop. Please park in a parking space so we can get the buses in the loop.
Please let me know if you have any questions,
