Dear Parents and Students :
Hope you are having a great summer. If this is your first year welcome to the Class Act Band! We are less than a month away from our camps and I’m very much looking forward to having the band together again and doing what we do best! Our camps are mandatory, and our goal is to be able to march and play our first two songs on the field by the end of the week. Yes, even if you have never marched before, you will be by the end of camp. Our veteran students and student leaders will help you every step of the way. If you have any transportation issues, please let me know and we’ll try to arrange transportation. Your attendance is vital to our band’s success, and you matter!
All our camps will be at Hudson High School. We’ll be inside during the hottest time of the day and outside from 5pm – 9pm. If you have not done so already, start going outside to acclimate your body. Make sure to take care of your body by eating breakfast/lunch/dinner and drinking fluids before, during and after camp. This will all help you to have fun at camp! Here are the camp times and dates:
PERCUSSION (Drum/Mallets) July 21 – July 24 from 9am – Noon at Hudson High School in the band room.

Halftime Show
Get ready for a spine-tingling spectacular as the Hudson Hich Class Act Band brings the spirit of the season to life with this year’s electrifying halftime show – “Halloween!” This haunting fun production features some of the most iconic and memorable tunes ever to echo through October nights. From the eerie groove of Michael Jackson’s “Thiller” to the cult-classic energy of “The Time Warp” from The Rocky Horror Picture Show to the whimsical fright of “This is Halloween” from the Nightmare Before Christmas, and the unmistakable theme from the creepy and kooky world of Beetlejuice – this show has it all.

Calling all Parent Volunteers!!!!!!
During band camp we are in need of a hydration/first aid/cooldown station from 5pm-9pm. If you are available, please email me at cadams@pasco.k12.fl.us. As we get into the marching season, we will need volunteers to help with chaperoning and concession stand selling. If you would like to become a band volunteer, please register with Pasco County School using this link: Pasco County Volunteer Application
