Band Updates...
Thursday, July 22:
Hello Band Families,
It's hard to believe that the summer has been flying by and we are less than two weeks from the WHS Marching Tigers Summer Camp! We sent all of the following information out in May but we wanted to send a fresh copy electronically for you all as camp is approaching so quickly.
The following letter contains the times and specifics about camp! Please note, we have a Monday freshmen and sophomore parent meeting. We will also have a Friday night ALL-parent meeting (freshmen-seniors) followed by a performance of all we've learned at camp and a family picnic. Please click on the link below to access the specific dates and times, as well as to sign-up for the band remind texts!
WHS Marching Band Camp Letter
Our drum majors also put together a letter with some helpful information about camp for our students. Here is the letter that was shared with them.

Lastly, I am attaching the order forms that were included in the May packet electronically so you can have another copy. We will be collecting these forms at camp so we can get our orders placed and back in time for our first football game. Please note, I've also included the proof of the t-shirt design.

WHS Marching Tigers Order Form
Something you will see on the order form this year is a new feature that we are incorporating, the Ultimate Drill Design app. This allows our traditional tiger tracks (paper-only coordinates) to become interactive. This interactive tool will allow students to not only see their spot but see the formation as a whole, where they have been, where they are going next, specific measure numbers, and set numbers.
We think this will be a tremendous asset, especially for those days we are charting and a student may be absent or just need to visually see what is going on. This is an app for a smart phone and we understand that not all students have smart devices. Please let us know if your child will need access to a device. You may also choose to use the traditional paper Tiger Track option, as well, just let us know.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Camp is an extremely exciting and important part to kick off our fall season and Mrs. Starr and I can't wait to get started!
Go Tigers!

Happy end of the school year! The following information pertains to the Warrensburg High School Bands 2021 school year. I am sending this email to all students enrolled in band this year so if you are not enrolled for fall 2021, please disregard. I just want to make sure that you all receive an electronic copy as well.
This past week, your student musician received a packet. It contained our letter with details for our August 2-6 Marching Tigers Band Camp (on our new football field!!) and order forms, a letter from our drum majors, and their fall show music (Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde). Camp is an important part of our fall season and attendance is mandatory. Please let us know if you have a scheduling conflict as soon as possible.

Marching Band Order forms (due Aug. 3)
Drum Major Welcome Letter
I am also including our calendar. Please do not be overwhelmed by this calendar. It includes all of our activities from all of our ensembles (concert band, symphonic band, honors jazz, jv jazz, extra-curricular auditioned events, etc.) so not all of the dates pertain to what your child is participating in.
2021-2022 Calendar
Please let us know if you have any questions! We are excited to be traveling and competing again! Here's to a great new school year!
