12^th – 16^th – 2009 Marching Band Camp – Times will be given before the end of the school year.

All dates marked, as required attendance must be attended.  Work is not an excuse!!  Exceptions to the rule will have to be cleared with Mr. Bistline.  In case of an EMERGENCY you can reach me on my cell at 239-4972.  I do reserve the right to eliminate events from the calendar as I see fit.  I will not add any dates to the calendar without consulting with the students first and the students will have plenty of notice in advance so work or family engagements will not be a problem.  Remember all events marked with an asterisk are REQUIRED, but I encourage the students to attend as many events as possible.
