2023 Band Camp Schedule

Parents! Stay in the know by joining our Remind group specifically for Marching Band & Color Guard Season.

IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER:

•  Please wear appropriate clothing. Marching band is an outdoor activity and is a PE course. Please wear loose-fitting shorts, shirts, socks, and athletic shoes. Jeans, long pants, and sandals are not appropriate. You may bring a sweatshirt for evening practice.

• Please bring a working pencil for all marks on your music.

• Fuel your body correctly. Marching band is physical first, musical second. Thus your body needs the correct foods in order to function. Avoid soda, sugary foods, processed foods etc. Fruit, veggies, grains, and lean proteins are necessary to perform your best not just in Marching Band but in school. Start this habit now! Feel free to eat a huge breakfast, lighter lunch, and bring a light dinner.

• Bring LOTS of water and wear sunscreen.

• The day is broken up into two parts: Music 3 PM – 5 PM then marching/conditioning 6 PM – 9 PM. Dinner is roughly from 5 PM – 6 PM. I prefer you stay on campus so plan accordingly.

• Please come prepared with your working instrument if you have them, reeds, etc.

• Please make sure you are on time (AKA 15 minutes early).

• Our Tournament and Football calendar is posted– save the dates!

Let me know if you have any questions. Look forward to seeing everyone and making this another great year.
