The flag production team has completed 2 of the 3 sets of flags that are needed for the show!  A thousand thank you’s to all of the people who helped get this accomplished! The new flags will take your breath away in Ohio Stadium on Sunday!

The team will begin working on the 3rd set on Monday, Sept. 6 (Labor Day) at 10:00 a.m.  They will need a lot of help from non-sewing people to get the new flags cut out and pinned.  The production team WILL NOT be meeting tonight, or Saturday, as we are waiting for approval on the prototype flag and need to order the material.  Please come and help on Monday if you are available!

Please contact Mrs. Reeves for more information or if you have any further questions at coffmancolorguard@gmail.com

Dear Dublin Coffman High School Marching Band Families,

Hope you are enjoying your summer!  Pre Band camp begins next week so we wanted to share a few reminders with you.

Please remember that all camp forms are due on Monday, July 26th.  If you have misplaced your forms they are available on the Coffman Music News website:  dublinmusic.org/coffmannews/?p=412

Several of the forms must be notarized. Most banks provide this service to their customers  as a courtesy.

The New Parent meeting will be held in the band room Monday evening, July 26th at 7:00PM.  This meeting is especially helpful to parents of incoming Band and  Color Guard members.

If you participated in Kroger or Scrip fund raising and would like to know your fund amounts, you may contact Terri Bailey at terri.k.bailey@gmail.com

Registration at Camp Bountiful will begin at 1:00PM.  The students will have their first scheduled rehearsal at 3:00PM.  Please arrive so that you will have time to process through registration and move your child’s gear into their cabin without them feeling rushed to get to rehearsal.  Our first meal at camp will be dinner at 5:00PM.  It is a good idea to allow time to stop for lunch as you drive down to camp.  It usually takes an hour and 15 minutes to an hour and a half to drive to camp.

Attached you will find valuable information regarding the Band Camp Registration process, a message from the Dublin Music Boosters Executive Board regarding the 3 2 1 volunteer plan, and the concession schedule.  Please read through the provided information so that you are prepared and can process through registration as quickly as possible.  We realize there is an incredible amount of information to take in regarding the workings of this program.  We are happy to explain and help you understand.  Please realize that repeating the information to almost 200 families will take a great deal of time.   We know you are eager to settle your child at camp and enjoy your week.  : )  Please help us make the registration process as efficient as possible by reading the attachments provided.

Please note that several personal checks may be needed-one to pay the balance of camp fees,  one to purchase the band video, one to purchase this year’s t shirt, and one to purchase a yard sign.

Also, no pets are allowed at Camp Bountiful.

Don’t forget your calendar.

We appreciate your help in getting the week off to a terrific start!

Thank you,

Kathie Torrico and Jane Ludwig
