August 4th & 6th: HS Marching Band Evening Rehearsals 6:30-8:30pm

 

These few days afford us an opportunity to accomplish what would take approximately twenty-two days, or over five weeks, on our regular rehearsal schedule. Therefore, it is imperative that no time be wasted and that students come to the camp prepared.  Attendance is mandatory. Grades will be given for Camp. The band camp dates has been discussed with the students in March before Spring Break.​​​

​

Any conflicts with Camp times will need to be communicated by Parent Email to all 3 Directors Friday, May 8th if not sooner. This will help with planning for camp and decisions regarding drill spots.
