The Danpodcast - UIL Summer UPDATE

[Danpod]

The UIL has updated Summer Band Guidelines!  Let's go over the lifted restrictions, which mandates are still in play, the adaptability of the UIL, and how this could help vastly improve the mental health of the young performers.

Thank you!

Curious - did bands typically have any kind of rehearsals in June/early July on non-covid years? Or will bands just be using this to make up for lost time in May? 
 

Back in my day, I felt the only things that happened before late July were leadership camps. 

Will be interested to hear from those involved in programs what band directors choose to do with this news over the next month.

our program would usually do a 3 day camp right after school lets out - and conditioning programs through the summer - that has all be handed back to the students to self manage until late July.
