Many of you have asked about the future of summer band camp sessions for our band. On Friday July 17, the local Health Authority for Bexar County and the City of San Antonio issued a health directive requiring that schools in Bexar County not re-open for on-campus, face-to-face instruction until after September 7, 2020, which is Labor Day.
The health directive states that all school sponsored events and activities, including but not limited to extracurriculars, fairs, exhibitions, academic and/ or athletic competitions, must not take place in person, on or off campus, until school systems resume on-campus instruction. This information comes directly from the announcement on the City of San Antonio's website.
What this means for us is that we will need to suspend our remaining on-campus percussion, color guard, freshmen, woodwind, and brass camp summer band sessions that were originally scheduled for July and August.
We will continue to keep in contact with our Hornet Band students and parents with any updates regarding this announcement, and any other pre-scheduled events for specific band groups this summer. Please stay safe and take care.
