Director's Message
Gary Wampler
The July 21 Edition
STUDENTS AND PARENTS MUST READ!!!
Welcome to the new FVRR members. This will be the beginning of many great memories and too much fun! I would like to thank our staff for your time and energy to make our summer sectionals so great. It’s not over yet… Good job to our members for responding so well to our staff.
What to do now and reminders
Make sure you schedule and complete your Physical before Aug 6. Turn in the sheet (in your orientation blue “keep” packet) on Aug 23 with your pink cards and transportation fee. Attend any final sectionals so you can play all the show music (percussion will have the full show later). Turn in your orientation information sheet, fees and any other forms to the booster box in room 310. They were due in June. Always look at the web site weekly for new information. Another reminder… If you as a parent have a question, ask the director or the source of the information… avoid asking another parent that does not know… Ask a VP or higher for the info. If they do not know, ask a director… we can answer your question J
What’s NEW with the Regiment
Students and Parents must use our web site for information, updates, calendar, and member portal (password in on the blue keep packet) where you will find the updated Handbook, FVRR Code, mp3 of the music, your music parts, & drill. Parents can click onto the booster web site for chaperone information, forms, fundraising, projects, and more. USE THE ONLINE HANDBOOK AT THIS TIME. The blue hardcopy of the handbook is not current. It was for the new parents only to get started with the FVRR.

Trailers
Thanks to Randy Tewell, Will Vigil, & Matthew Ross (and others) for doing work on the semi trailer. They repaired the side doors, lights, and general wiring. A back camera for the semi will soon be installed to help the drivers see behind the semi. The final front and rear logos will soon be on thanks to Chuck Drinkworth. The Small Trailer (Mini Mee) will soon have a new floor… the same type of material we have on the semi ramp.
Field Drinking Water
Our own Brian Ross, has an Eagle Scout Project to build a drinking station on our rehearsal field to replace the coolers. This will start soon…now you can have all the water you need… anytime!
Booster Projects
Will be stating soon…more semi shelves, build and paint 35 props, prep the small trailer new floor and other minor projects. Go to the web site and click on BOOSTERS then click on PROJECTS. The big day will be Aug 21 starting at 9am.. Need hours…here you go! You can also see photos from last year for sample jobs.

Other Info
Student Summer Sectionals
A special thanks goes out to all the members showing up to learn basics and our show music/content in July and August. Your progress is awesome and if you keep up the home practice, the last few sectionals will be even more enjoyable with our staff. Then our Aug 16 camp will be very productive. If you are still on vacation, make sure you download the music and practice…even on vacation. You don’t always need your instrument to practice.
Student Registration Days
You only need to turn in your school forms and receive your schedule… that is it. Then go back to Field Camp! Do not go to any other lines like the financial office/ASB or PE shorts… our day is Aug 23 to pay ASB fees. Freshman will need to take your ASB Card Photo in room 307…then back to camp!
Calendar
Keep checking the calendar on our web site for the next event. Remember our field camp (Love and War) starts August 16 at 9am. This is where we put the music together with our drill. Freshman, remember to attend LINK on Monday Aug 23 in the morning (all FVRR Freshman) then camp is from 2-6:30pm that day. Our end of camp performance is on Saturday, Aug 28 at 3pm on the FVHS Stadium field. We will perform what we know after our 12 day camp. Then our first half-time show is on Thursday night Sept 16 - we will perform our Part 1 and some of Part 2
New Parents - Band 101
This is Saturday, Aug 21 from 9:30-11am (oops… the flyer says till 11pm… I don’t think so...)
New parents can see and hear how the FVRR works to understand a little more about important procedures and information. Topics: Uniforms, Semi, Forms, Rehearsals, Competitions, Rules, Fun with the FVRR, and more.
Parents - 1st Booster Meeting
August 17 in room 310 at 7pm. This is a fun time to learn about what’s going on in the FVRR. Parents, come and make this an enjoyable hour of information (counts for your 35 hours). We can also answer questions you might have. Remember, new parents, take a breath and relax during these few months of constant information. Just take one step at a time, we will help you learn our system of excellence.
The next Director’s Message will be the August Edition.
