BAND DIRECTOR'S UPDATE

6/2/2020

 
To all;
Over the last 11 weeks, the district administration and band staff have been in close
communication regarding the Covid-19 pandemic and possible ramifications on our 2020 Grandview Heights Marching Band summer schedule.   We have diligently followed the daily updates from Governor DeWine, Dr. Amy Acton, and Franklin County Board of Health to ensure all guidelines are met.  It is imperative for everyone to understand - the health and well-being of your family has been the primary concern.

Due to design or physical space limitations, the learning activities and scheduled social events which occur at our overnight band camp do not comply with Ohio Department of Health guidelines.  They include:
  • Student Housing (2-4 students per room)
  • Indoor Full Group Music Rehearsal
  • Social Activities (Game Night, Ice Cream Social, Movie Night, Band Camp Dance)
Therefore, the 2020 GHMB will not be traveling to Wittenberg University for the traditional overnight band camp, July 26-31.  I understand this announcement is quite disappointing for students and families.  Unfortunately, the seriousness and complexity of this unprecedented health emergency has left us with only one choice.
In regards to the dates on the calendar - Pre-Camp July 20-24; Band Camp July 26-31; Falco Park Concert August 9.  Please keep them on your calendar for now.  As more information is released by the state, Franklin County, as well as Ohio High School Athletic Association, we will adapt our schedule, teaching techniques, and rehearsal environment to meet the challenges ahead of us.
I very much look forward to beginning a new season and new academic year with our wonderful students and families.  If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me via email.
Best regards,
Mr. Herrmann
