Band Camp
Summer Band Camp:
Our award-winning Marching Band and Color Guard program is a rewarding opportunity to work with fellow musicians and guard members to gain experience as a team in a competitive environment. This is a commitment of your time and begins with Summer Band Camp! During these 2 weeks, you will learn the 2025 season show music, marching performance techniques and basic drills. Join us to kickoff the exciting new season and meet new friends before the school year starts!
Summer Band Camp is a great way to meet other students in the program so you’ll already know some before the first day of school! The all-day camp is usually held during the last two weeks of July.
Summer Workshops: June 11, June 25, July 9, 5pm – 8pm
Band Camp 1st Week: July 21 – 26, 9am – 8pm
Band Camp 2nd Week: July 28 – August 2, 9am – 8pm
Meet at the band room for the workshops and the first day of camp.
Workshops are optional. Camp is required.
If you will miss any camp dates, a parent/guardian should contact the band director in advance so that you may be excused.
