Summer Band
Volunteers needed!
Summer band needs the work of many parents and friends of the band to be successful. Sign up to help with band camp, parades and more. Due to some Charms tech trouble, there's now a Sign Up genius with needs that begin June 7 at band camp -- 120 volunteer roles need filling between now and the end of the season July 10! Don't have a teen in band but you'd like to help? Please do! Get your preferred help times down early!
Summer 2022 Warrior Band Parade Action!
________________________
The Warrior Marching Band summer program spends June on parade in local communities. In July, there is the opportunity to travel out of state.
Open to students currently in grades 8–12, the most common way to participate is by marching and playing an instrument. However, several more are needed for Honor Guard (banner/U.S. flag, etc.) and Color Guard (colorful flags).
In addition to learning valuable musical skills, mental toughness and discipline, teens are blessed with many opportunities to witness their Christian faith. Countless teens share that some of their favorite memories are from band trips!

Online Registration for Summer Band 2022 is OPEN
Because Canada is still not band-friendly with border-crossing requirements, the band needs to avoid Canada again this summer.
However, in hopes of keeping Calgary on the radar for NEXT summer (2023), Mr. Pufahl shared with band students that we will do a July 3-10 trip to the Traverse City Michigan Cherry Festival July 7-9 by way of Northern Wisconsin, with parades in St. Germaine on July 3 and Tomahawk and Minocqua on July 4.
We need to keep our momentum to stay strong! Let us know you’re onboard for Warrior band or color guard this summer through the online registration link that’s active now:
Our school code is LakesideMP
Need more help getting into a Charms account? See the "cheat sheet" on the side menu.
The sooner we can gather numbers, the smoother the planning will go. (Along with a $150 commitment fee involved in this registration, be sure to have insurance info.)
The cost for the entire 2022 summer band program is expected to be $600 and includes all meals, travel, activity and lodging expenses for all parades during the ‘22 season. There is opportunity for students to participate in local parades without joining in the trip at a lower cost (ask for details).

Parents: Click the arrow for sign out procedures, parade times & routes, and uniform care
Here is some information for the upcoming season's parades. The routes should be attached for each of the parades. Some of the parades might be closer to your house. So, it would make sense for you to meet us at the parade staging area instead of coming all the way to Lakeside. If that is the case, your marcher will need to make sure to take his/her uniform and instrument home after the Thursday rehearsal prior to that parade. Also, please send me an email stating that you will be meeting us at the parade.
Sign-out procedure
After each parade, except Appleton, parents may sign their child(ren) out to take them home from there. If you meet us at a particular parade, your child will not be counted on the bus attendance sheet. That means that you are "in charge" of making sure they get home. We will not leave anyone behind. However, they will not have had a chance to sign in on the sheet on the bus. Therefore, you do not need to sign them out after the parade. I do ask that you let me know that you are taking your child though so that I know where they are going.
If your child meets us at Lakeside on a parade day, they will sign a sheet when they get on the bus. This sheet will have their name neatly printed and will indicate whether they are returning with the bus or with a parent. If you are taking your child home with you from the end of a parade, you need to sign him/her out at their bus prior to you taking them. This is done with a chaperone that is on that bus. If you are having some other person picking your child up after the parade, your child needs to provide a parent-signed note indicating that this is your (the parent) wish. I will not allow a child to go home with anyone other than their parents if they do not have a note from you, their parents. Also, if you are signing your child out, please make sure that you are at the end of the parade route/indicated ending location when the band arrives there. Please do not make us wait for the entire parade to finish before you come to the sign your child out. We like to keep a very tight time frame with leaving as to get kid back home on a timely manner. If you are not there when we are ready to leave, we will leave when your child and you will need to pick him/her up at Lakeside. Please let me know if you have any questions on this procedure.
Uniform care if picking up from end of the parade
If you are picking your child up from the end of a parade instead of Lakeside, please make sure that all uniform pieces stay together. Your child will need to make sure that they take their hat box and garment back with them so that everything can be properly cared for when you arrive home.
Upon arriving home and changing, please hang up your uniform properly as you would if you were at Lakeside. Please DO NOT zip up the garment bag until it is ready to be brought back to Lakeside. Turn a fan on the uniform so that it can dry and air out. Please remember to return the uniform to Lakeside at the absolute next time you come to Lakeside for a rehearsal or a parade.
