To get the band prepared for our marching performance, students are required to attend marching practice in the weeks leading up to the beginning of school.

Attendance is required for all band students. Students must report to summer band with their instrument, full band water jug, good athletic shoes, lunch & snacks, their phone, and sun protection (hats, sunglasses, sunscreen, cooling towels, etc.).

Summer Band times will be listed on the Marching Band Calendar.

100% - Yes.

It is imperative to the marching program’s success to have all students attend Summer Band. Please consult the band calendar for summer band dates, and plan your vacation accordingly. Allowances are made for students marching with DCI.

No - drinks are not provided.
It is CRUCIAL for your student to bring a FULL BAND water jug with them to camp every day. During the day, there will be opportunities for students to refill their jugs. You are also allowed to send additional drinks with your students, but please avoid sugary beverages.

Pro Tip…
To make ice for your student's band water jug use a circular ziplock container or quart sized yogurt/cream cheese container. These make larger chunks of ice that fit inside the water jug, and keep the water colder longer.

No, Lunch is not provided.

Students will need to bring their lunch with them to camp. Students are allowed to eat off campus during their break.

In marching band, we see many injuries that are a result of improper footwear. To protect our students and keep them marching, students should wear a good pair of athletic shoes that provides them with the support they need to have a good foundation on the blacktop. A good pair of athletic shoes will help prevent twisted & rolled ankles, shin splints, sprains, and many more injuries.
