Bluejay Band Members and Family,
Greetings Band Family!!! I hope to find that each of you has had an amazing summer of fun, relaxation and a time to reset for another year. Percussion and Guard camp starts this week and we can’t wait to see the full band next week!
Below will be all the information you need to know for band camp. Please revisit these dates on your calendars, as they are very important and mandatory by all WHS Band members for the 2019 Fall Season! Please start getting used to the outdoors this week. Next week will be easier if you start acclimating now. All members are required to bring their own water container.

Lyres and Flip Folders All Band Members, except percussionists and guard will need to have a music lyre and flip folder. This allows you to attach your music to your horn when we practice and march on the field and parades. Tuba, baritone and French horn players must have their own mouthpiece. Lyres and flip folders are available at the school to purchase.
Every student will need this regardless of their years in band. They are available at any music store.
