Parents, Guardians, and Students of the BHHS Bruin Band and Color Guard,
Your student has expressed interest, or is enrolled in Bruin Band and Color Guard for the fall of 2023.
In order to participate in Bruin Band students are strongly encouraged to attend our summer Bruin Band Camp.
Bruin Band Camp 2023 will be held at Brookings-Harbor High School from:
August 14th through to August 18th.
There is no cost to this camp. Students will meet in theBHHS music hall (auditorium) each morning at 9:50am, and will be given both a lunch and dinner break.
PLEASE SIGN YOUR STUDENT UP WITH FAMILY ID: https://hello.familyid.com
Go to this link and make sure to sign up for “band,” even if they are in color guard. There will be no charge. If it says there is a charge just fill out the information and ignore the payment page.
An organization called the Bruin Music Foundation would love for you to join them! They are an auxiliary family support group that helps organize trips, fundraisers, and so much more for our music students. Please consider joining them!
The volunteer opportunities we have available for this camp include:
-Signing up to make dinner for the whole band each night. We need potluck or buffet style dinners for
these kids. We encourage coordinating with other parents to tag team making dinners!
-Helping with sizing the students in their uniforms
-Donate cases of water and healthy snacks (trail mix, fruit, granola bars, etc.)
-Set up carpooling for any student with transportation needs
-Other volunteer opportunities will come up throughout the school year and we’d love to have you!
We look forward to seeing you there!
With many thanks,
Corey Tamondong
