2. Dun dun dun....
Here it comes. School. I hope you all know it starts Monday. Yes. THIS Monday. As in...there aren't any more Mondays left in your Summer vacation.
Oh, stop whining. You know you can't wait to get back in there, see your friends, hit the books, start practicing for your juries, see your friends. Oops. Did I say that already?
Anyway, in case you didn't know or tried to forget, school starts at 7am. Bring your coffee and report to your homeroom. The rumor is your schedules are posted on Parentlink, but you won't go to your 1st period. Report to your homeroom.
You DON'T need your instruments on the first day. After the first day, the only excuse for forgetting your instrument is arriving at school by helicopter.
Okay. That's about it. Have fun and keep being amazing.

3. Important Alert
This is an important notice!!!
A band student reported paranormal activity in the men's bathroom in Frazier. Apparently there were strange non-bathroom type noises. The REAL ghost hunters have been contacted, but have not called back yet.
Be careful out there people!

4. Pictures are up.
More will follow. If you have any pics you would like posted, just send them to us at lvaband@lvaband.com and we will put them up for all the world to see.
Major thanks as always to Kent the camera guy. If you see him heading your way, make a face that the world will love, 'cause he's always on duty.
If you somehow missed out on getting an order form for the new sweatshirts, be sure to pick one up the first day of school. All orders are due September 10th.
Finally, if you want email updates, be sure you send us your email address. I'm still missing quite a few.

6. Welcome to Day 1
Hey everyone, you should have received an email. If you didn't, come see a board member tomorrow. We will be sure your email address is added correctly to the list.
Tomorrow will be a long and FUN day, so bring your smiles. Also bring your smiles because the OFFICIAL CAMERA GUY, Kent, will be running around taking pictures of you that could very well end up on the PowerPoint at the end of the year.
See you all tomorrow. Oh and don't be so shy. It's okay to reply to the blog you know.

7. Band Camp is Here
Hope everyone is ready. If you don't know your audition time, holler. Otherwise, see you there on Wednesday. Bring your music, your instrument and your smile!!
Also, don't forget to do the new word searches and polls. There is an important hint about a new band camp procedure hidden in one of the word searches. Feel free to post it when you figure it out.

8. Here it comes...
We are weeks away from band camp. Hard to believe, right? It's true. I hope you haven't waited until now to dig out that music and start practicing.
Here are some things you should know:
1) Your registration was due eons ago. We have to order shirts. If you didn't send in our registration form, we will be guessing your size. If you don't like the way that sounds, get in touch with Shelley ASAP!!! or sooner.
2) Audition times have been posted. Look on the paperwork page. Click on the band page then click on your instrument. We posted them as word files and as excel files. If you can't open either of those file types, call one of the LVABB members and we will let you know when your sweat time, I mean audition time is.
3) We can't wait to see you all in August. It's been sort of quiet without you.
So...anyone looking forward to being back in school? Any exciting plans for the new year?

9. A word to the seniors...
Thought we should put a spot where our seniors (who don't get enough attention already) can get a little love. Take a moment and say a word to the departing class of 2010.

You can help save the world. Yes you!! Please send some of your best pics to the lvaband@lvaband.com and we will forward those right on to Lindsey and make them famous. Thanks in advance!!

14. Festival and Band trips
Holy Cats. Was the V3 festival performance amazing or what? Rumor is the judges were quite impressed. Just rumors of course. Perhaps one of the directors could clear things up a bit? The V3 band trip is right around the corner. The itenerary is posted. Looks like three days of shlogging through rehearsals, sectionals and challenging..even rigorous group events. There will no doubt be ups and downs. Possibly even rounds and rounds. Any V3 parents who would like to help the children stave off starvation by sending in food donations for the bus ride up and back are pre-thanked and encouraged to send teen friendly pre-packaged items to the bandroom by Monday March 22nd. Now is a good time to shout out what is considered a teen friendly food. Apples right? Post it in the comments section.

15. Hello????
There is a lot going on these days, but the blog has been awfully quiet. Is everyone excited to see the Bliss concert? What an opportunity! And the V3 trip to LA should be tons of fun.
We didn't get a lot of feedback on the design for the hoodie, so I hope everyone is okay with it. We will be rolling it out pretty soon. We will also be giving everyone a couple of choices for next year's band shirts so keep an eye out for that. Pics will be posted here on the website and in the band room.
Finally, the banquet approacheth (yes, I just made that word up). Talk to your band council.
Anyone want to chat?
