Director’s Note…

While this week may sound intimidating, it is a week filled with a lot of fun and reward.  Veterans can share stories of the zany adventures of band camp.  From “Bizarre Band Camp Awards” to the special daily individual honors to the squad competitions and the daily special sessions, we will learn a lot of amazing things while having a lot of fun.

 

You have the potential top any previous season with your amazing performance level.  This is the week  where it all starts.  Band Camp will lay the foundation for the entire season.  It will be up to each of you to determine how strong that foundation will be.  THE RESPONSIBILITY IS YOURS.

 

ATTENDANCE AT CAMP IS MANDATORY

 

-Please see the attendance policy in the Marching Band Handbook.  You will lose your spot in the show if you do not adhere to the attendance policy, or if you accumulate excessive absences.
