Mrs. H and your Band Reps are working hard behind the scenes to gear up for camp—here’s how you can prepare:

👖 Khaki Shorts
Make sure your student has their khaki shorts! They’re part of the casual uniform for Away Camp and will be worn for the Preview Show on August 2.

💧 Water Bottles
Pack one or two sturdy, labeled water bottles for both camps. Also, bring a water bottle to all practices. Hydration is key!

👟 Shoes & Fitness
Good running or walking shoes are a must—there’ll be tons of marching! If your student isn’t used to that level of activity, now’s a great time to start taking some walks.

🎶 Sectionals
Section leaders may be reaching out for casual meetups before camp. If your student is available, these gatherings are a fun way to connect and get ready!

🩺 Physicals
Haven’t scheduled a physical yet? Please do so ASAP! We'll be collecting the required 2-page, doctor-signed physical form before practice begins on July 9.

🙌 Volunteering
Sign-ups are coming soon! We ask that each marching band family volunteers at least 3 times during the season along with donating food. From food donations to day and evening shifts, your support makes all the difference—especially with nearly 200 students this year!

All volunteers must have a completed and approved criminal history on file. It's completely on-line now! Please do this ASAP as it takes time for the district to get approval.

Get ready—LOTS of important emails are coming your way in the next few weeks about both Home and Away Camp! These contain key details for your Marching Knight, so please be sure to read them carefully.

We use Membership Toolkit (MTK) for all official communications.
✅ Be sure to bookmark the MTK URL on both your computer and phone.
✅ Check MTK first if you have questions—we do our best to keep it updated.
✅ If you still need help, reach out to one of our Band Reps (listed under Booster Board Contacts on the site).

When Mrs. H sends out major updates via email, we also post that info on the MTK Home Page—so you’ll always have quick access.

And don’t forget to follow the Walled Lake Northern Marching Band Facebook page for photos, updates, and more!

Attention all 52 Seniors: Your posters are due the FIRST DAY OF HOME CAMP. The posters are a standard sized poster board cut in half.

Just a reminder that all payments should have already been turned into the treasurer via check or paid online. If you have a balance it will be in MTK on the Home Page once you’re logged in.

If you have questions about marching band payments, please email Amanda Grant at wlnmbtreasurer@gmail.com.
