Band Survival Guide

Band camp is an intense period of practice where students learn to march and quickly progress into learning the year's marching show – memorizing music and learning drill.


Participation is mandatory and tardiness is not tolerated. Students must arrive prior to the start of rehearsal, so they can get set up. 

 
Reminders and Camp Attire

  1. Bring a water bottle everyday. We take frequent water breaks and keep the students hydrated. (No other beverages. ONLY WATER!!)
  2. Bring a sack lunch everyday.  No one will be able to leave the campus for lunch.
  3. One 1/2 to 1 inch three ring binder with sheet protectors  to keep music. You will receive a lanyard and a dot book. Make sure to have those at all times when setting drill.
  4. Wear tennis shoes with socks – no high tops, sandals, flip-flops, etc.
  5. Shorts and light colored t-shirts. (If students need to wear pants, make sure they are light colored. Avoid any black clothing. You WILL be hot! This is in the best interest of their health in the August Heat.)
  6. Hat and Sunglasses
  7. Sunscreen (You will get burned without it!!)
  8. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A PENCIL FOR REHEARSAL!
