BAND CAMP: July 27th, 28th, 29th and 31st, August 1st and August 2nd – 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Students must report to the band room each morning no later than 8:00 a.m. Students must wear sneakers (no flip flops, sandals or CROCS). A hat, sunscreen, a reusable water bottle (preferably insulated), a towel to set your instrument on and comfortable and light weight clothing. Students should pack a FULL lunch and snacks, it is a LONG day! Students should eat breakfast (protein rich) prior to arriving at camp, an empty stomach in the heat will be detrimental. Students should begin HYDRATING the two days prior to the start of band camp!! Students should be well rested and ready for a full day of marching and music! Below are the themes for each day of band camp.

Parents, as discussed at our meeting on Saturday evening, below are ALL of the forms required for your student’s participation in the fall. These forms will need to be printed, completed and will be collected at the UNIFORM FITTING prior to Band Camp in August!

Please note, the physical form will need to completed by a PHYSICIAN in order for your student to attend the FIRST DAY of band camp, no exceptions! I’m hopeful that this post will provide you plenty of time to schedule your doctor’s appointments over the summer break! Additionally, the CVS Minute Clinic and Redi-Med also offer sports physicals for a nominal fee.
