Wright City R-II Bands

Mark Twain Competition:

Listed below is the schedule for the Mark Twain Competition on October 2nd. All times are as accurate as possible. Departure time is absolute….DO NOT BE LATE. The schedule is based on the schedule from Mark Twain. We try to make our return estimates as accurate as possible, but occasionally outside influences can cause us to run either a bit early or late. We request that you pick students up no later than a half hour after the return time. You may always sign your child out immediately after their last performance. It may only be a parent or guardian who signs a student out and ID may be required if you are not familiar to the director or chaperone handling sign outs. I realize this can be a bit annoying, but please remember it is your child’s safety that is the primary concern being addressed. Please refer any questions to us at 745-7500 ext 10914.

One note to parents: I could use at least one more chaperone if I have anyone who has a completed background check on file.

Reminder to parents and students: If a student is going to miss a rehearsal/performance/etc you need to contact Mr. Schaffer at [email protected] .

With full camp just around the corner, here are your annual reminders for "normal" camp..i.e. all day:

1. While we do have water available, it is far better for you to have a jug of your own...not just a single disposable bottle. When you go outside, your water goes with you. We will not have an endless trek of people in and out of the building getting things they forgot.
2. Sunscreen, sunscreen, and more sunscreen. The lighter complexion you have, the more you need it, but everyone need sunscreen. The last thing we need is people getting drastically burned and missing a good portion of camp.
3. Plan your meals. We will have lunch daily from 12-1 and dinner from 5-6. Those may get extended, but the start time won't change. You can bring a meal or go to get food...but traffic or slow service is not an excuse to be late. The Boosters will have dinner for you on Friday evening before the parent performance.
4. If you still don't have music,get it immediately when you get here.

Those are the basics. Preparation is everything.
