Mountain Biking!

Hey there guys and girls,
This is Jon going mountain biking with me, Eric Dekker, and Libby Logsdon. He had lots of fun and it was a great way to get out of the house and get some exercise.

So this is again just another really quick update. Section leaders, I've said this before but make sure that you distribute the contact information to your squad leaders. Squad leaders, call your squad members and talk to them a couple times over the summer. Also talk to them about DCI. If they are not going, you should strongly encourage them to go. It is a great show and it really affects everyone's attitude during band camp. Also just keep in contact with them to establish good relationships. Marching band is lots of hard work, but it is also a way to meet a lot of great people and it provides many social activities as well.

Make sure that you are practicing your instruments so that when you play it again, you're not having to re-learn it. Also it will make you a better player, which is always a bonus. Music will be coming out within the next couple of weeks so be prepared to be practicing that as well. Also make sure that you are staying healthy and drinking lots of water! Hydration is extremely important to making sure that you are able to push yourself to the max this band camp. It will be hot and there will be lots of work that will be completed.

Stay safe, have a good weekend! I leave next Sunday for Europe so if there is anything you need, contact me on Facebook or my email, jon.minnick1@gmail.com.

Thanks, Jon
