Pearson Middle School Band Summer Camp / Build the Beat
The Pearson Symphonic and Concert Bands will perform at the Build the Beat community Pep Rally on Friday, August 8th. Athletics students will be able to participate in both athletics and band events for the day. To prepare for the event, we will have a summer band camp to help us learn the new music that we will be playing. Our camp will be held on Wednesday July 30, Thursday, July 31, Thursday August 7, and Friday August 8. All rehearsals will be at Pearson Middle School. Students will be able to enter through the exterior band hall doors.
Low Reeds, French Horns, Euphoniums, and Tubas should be brought from home for these rehearsals and the Build The Beat performance. If that is not possible for your family, email Mr. Jenson and we will find a solution.
The schedule is as follows:
Wednesday, July 30: Section Rehearsals/Full Band-
Theme: Superhero Day! Wear your favorite superhero shirt.

Due to the importance of the preparation for Build the Beat and the 2025-2026 school year, all rehearsals and performances are required for all Pearson Band members. We understand that some families may still be out of town or on vacation during this time. If your family will be out of town, please communicate that with your band director ASAP.
We are looking forward to both our summer band camp and the Build the Beat Pep Rally! It will be a lot of fun to see everyone again and make music together.
