For many of us, it’s the final week of school, which means that summer is literally right around the corner (something we are going to work on mastering in our marching this season)! Please read the following information regarding our first band camp and performance weekend.
Band camp runs from 4:00pm on Tuesday, June 9 until Saturday, June 13 following the Appleton Flag Day parade (start time of 2:00pm).
Camp Schedule
Tues, June 9: 4:00 - 9:00 PM
Wed, June 10: 8:30 AM - 9:00 PM
Thurs, June 11: 8:30 AM - 9:00 PM
Fri, June 12 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM; Brillion Electric Parade begins at 8:30 PM
Sat, June 13: 8:30 - 11:00 AM; Appleton Flag Day Parade begins at 2:00 PM
Camp Transportation
The WELS Northern Wisconsin District Convention will be in progress on Tuesday, June 9 when we all arrive. We have NO IDEA what parking will be like. Those students who are planning to drive and park at FVL should use the east lot (by the ball fields) as much as possible.
We will be running a bus from KML to Appleton.
What to bring with you to band camp
Click above to find the list of what you need to bring.
LVW staff and members should bring a bag supper for Tuesday, June 9.
Please bring something healthy, such as a sandwich, leftovers, lots of fresh fruit/vegetables, as well as something to drink (something with electrolytes and no caffeine or bubbles is a great choice!). Because the WELS Northern Wisconsin District Convention is also occurring on Tuesday and Wednesday at FVL, we cannot guarantee access to microwaves. Probably, but again, not guaranteed. All other meals along with all beverages will be provided during camp.
Please review the following codes before coming to camp.

Student Check-out Procedures Following Parade on Saturday
Students may leave with parents on Saturday afternoon. All students will be returning to FVL following the parade. All students will be expected to assist with clean-up and attend final announcements before leaving. Students leaving with parents will need to check out with their director or another designated LVW director if their school director is not present.
Since LVW will be staying at FVL for the weekend camp beginning on Friday, June 19, LVW members can leave sleeping items and other items at FVL. But not instruments and dirty towels. Those need to go home with you.
A couple of random notes...
You can still order VIBES ear plugs - the deadline is May 28. Students will receive their season t-shirt at camp. Any LVW merch orders placed with the intent to be picked up at FVL should also be available by Saturday, June 13. Need to print music? Go here. As stated above, we have NO IDEA exactly what sharing space with the Convention attendees will look like. Expect a bit of chaos and uncertainty. Be ready to embrace flexibility and adaptability. It'll be great.
If you made it this far...
CONGRATULATIONS AND THANK YOU!!! If you have ANY questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out. This is our team's first go-around at getting this information to you, and we want to make sure we are communicating everything needed.
Have a fantastic, blessed weekend!
