GREENVILLE, TEX.-- Greenville High School Band has released the summer practice schedule for 2014. After a fantastic year of music, GHS Band is looking to grow the program even further. Director, Joel Weisberg, has enlisted the instruction of Texas A&M-Commerce section leaders as an opportunity for the young musicians to develop their skills. The summer practice schedule is below along with safety information from Director Joel Weisberg.

  

 

 Summer Band

Summer band rehearsals will begin on August 1^st.  Summer band is important because we have uninterrupted time to learn the fundamentals of marching, and get a quality head-start on the music we will be performing. We are fortunate to have hired sectional teachers from Texas A&M Commerce that will be helping our students on a daily basis.  We need everyone present so that we can begin making the band the best it has ever been…and to take advantage of our helpers from A&M Commerce.    

Safety Information

Make sure to drink plenty of water in the days leading up to summer band camp.  Please bring your own water bottle or insulated jug to rehearsal each day.  This will help you stay hydrated and able to participate in the various activities throughout the day.  Food is also important.  Make sure to eat a healthy breakfast and make arrangements for lunch. You will need lots of energy to perform at your best during rehearsals.    

Please make sure to wear good athletic shoes to practice.  Keds, Vans, and flip-flops will not be acceptable.  Shoes also need to be tied the appropriate way. Please wear loose-fitting, light-colored clothing.  Hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen are strongly recommended.
