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 two weeks, you will learn the 2026 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 will be held during the last two weeks of July.
