Dear Incoming Marching Unit Students and Parents,
The end of the school year is fast approaching and it is time to begin preparing for next year’s band activities. We are very excited that you have decided to continue your musical studies as a member of the Nottingham High School Marching Unit and hope that you will enjoy the experience as much as the students who have gone before you.
You will find included with this letter a schedule for next year’s marching unit and a shoe order form. Sign up forms will be sent electronically. Students wishing to participate in a fall sport and marching unit are allowed to, but are expected to coordinate in advance with staff and coaches to split practice time. The activity fee for the Marching Unit is $40.00. For two students, it is $60.00. This fee helps pay for busing for competitions and also covers the T-shirts and gloves they will receive. Please contact us if you are unable to pay the fee due to extenuating circumstances.
Band camp this year is held on August 17-18 from 9:00AM-Noon and the weeks of August 21-24 and 28-31 (Monday to Thursday) from 8:00AM to 4:00PM and is required for all marching band members. To help introduce the students to Nottingham, we will have a rehearsal for all new marching band members and the upperclassmen on Tuesday June 6th, 2022 at 7:00pm to 8:30pm in the Nottingham Band Room. At this rehearsal we will practice our field show music and go over the many aspects of the Nottingham Band program, including marching band and answer any questions. We will be sending files of the music and the recordings of the music for practice electronically.
As we begin to choreograph next year’s field show it is extremely important that we get an accurate number of students participating in marching unit, so we ask that you please fill out the Google Forms by June 5th. Please review the schedule and attendance policy carefully before filling out the commitment form. If you have any questions please send an email to jklek@htsdnj.org
Looking forward to an awesome season!
Jen Klek
