This update on Band Camp 2020 is from Director Aaron Mykeloff.
The state of Michigan is still in Phase 4 of the Safe Start Plan. At this point, so much of what the Adrian Marching Band will be allowed to do during the coming school year is up in the air. Currently, we're bound by the same limitations as Adrian athletes: fewer students are allowed on the high school campus for practices, and only one student at a time is permitted to use the in-school restrooms. In Phase 4, only 100 people are allowed to gather for a purpose such as a sporting event. Even in Phase 5, only 250 people could enter Maple Stadium for a game. With both football teams, coaches, refs, crew, press box staff and football parents, there would not be enough room under the cap for our marching band. The football season may even be moved to the spring months. If that happens, the marching band will definitely not be performing at games. Even with all those negatives, we are still planning to have band camp at the high school so we can work on our music and parade marching. Camp will be held August 3rd through the 7th. Times to be announced. The details, however, are changing weekly. It's possible we might be able to rehearse with our full band. We might only be allowed to practice with half the band at one time. Or, still, band camp could be cancelled. Ultimately, those decisions will be made by the APS administration. Mrs. Powers and I will keep everyone up to date with new information as soon as it's available to us. Please sign up for Remind, our message service, so you'll receive the latest details by text.
