BAND BANQUET REMINDER
All band families, including Sixth Grade Band families, should have received an email from Band Booster President Martha Ray about the JA Band Banquet on May 19 at the Colonial Country Club.
We encourage everyone to come out for a nice meal and more importantly for the opportunity to recognize all of the band members for their hard work and accomplishments this year, including special recognition for our two JA Band seniors, Bryant Hutchins and Alex Ray.
The evening's activities will include the Jazz Band's performance at 6:30, a sit-down dinner at 7:00, a retrospective slide show of the year, and awards and recognition for all band members.
Please let Martha Ray (marthamray@yahoo.com) know if you have questions, and RSVP (click HERE for a ticket order form) by May 11th.
SUMMER SCHEDULE
For color guard members, the Jackson Academy Dance Camp will be June 1-3, 12:30 - 4:30 each day, in the gym. The cost per student is $75. Click HERE for a flyer and registration form.
All JA Band members are offered four free private music lessons over the summer.
BAND CAMP is Monday - Friday, July 25-29 and August 1-5, 8:30 - 11:30 and 1:00 - 5:00 each day on campus. Our show designer, Lenny Westmoreland of Croatan, NC, will be at camp to teach the entire competition show (music and drill) during these two weeks. Since he will tailor the drill to the talents and capabilities of each student, it is vital that all band members be present each day of camp.
