All rehearsal and sectional attendance is required unless a student is out of town (family vacation, work camp, etc....).  Work, athletic contests, etc...are not validreasons to miss summer rehearsals.  If a student is going to be out of town it must be submitted in writing to Mr. Parulekar no later than June 1st in order for it to be considered excused.

Participation in pre-band camp, band camp, and post-band camp rehearsals is mandatory.  Students missing any of these events may be placed in a shared position or lose marching privileges during football season.

The band room will be open at 8am for parents to drop students off and we will be setting up a car pool system where we will be pairing up students who need rides with families willing to transport them to and/or from rehearsal.

Band Camp is one of our most important weeks of rehearsal.  Students will learn the bulk of their music and drill for our contest show during this week.  Your attendance is crucial for our success and the experiences and learning that occurs is difficult to “make-up”.  Band Camp will be held at PHSN and will follow the schedule published on the calendar.  In addition to all rules found in the PHSN Band Handbook, PHSN Student Handbook, and the PLSD Extracurricular Student Discipline code (IGD-P), the following rules will be in effect:

1. + Students are not permitted to leave the school grounds during band camp hours!
2. + Students must observe the PLSD and PHS-N dress code.  Dress cool but modest!
   1. + Students must wear athletic tennis shoes (no sandals, shoes without heels/backs)
   2. + Ladies:  no swim-suit tops, sports bras, etc….are to be worn as an outer garment.  Dress to stay cool & modest!
   3. + Use sun screen/block.  Don’t ruin your week with a sunburn!
3. + Students may bring their own water bottles for rehearsal breaks.
4. + Students may place their “sack lunches” in  cafeteria coolers at the beginning of each day.
5. + Cold soda and water can be purchased for 0.25 cents per can at lunch.
6. + Students will be dismissed for dinner on their own each day.  Please make arrangements for your student to be picked up.  The building will be closed during our dinner break.
