Band Camp is scheduled for August 5-21, 2024. Rehearsals will take place at the High School and at the stadium.
Attendance is very important. Every student in the band is a critical component and every student must contribute equally for success of the program. Please arrive at least 15 minutes before the listed rehearsal time so that you are on the field and ready when rehearsal begins.
Helpful things to have for summer rehearsals and band camp:
A large water bottle (½ gallon or bigger) with your name on it
Lots of sunscreen
A white shirt for all wind and battery students
Athletic shoes
Hat and sunglasses
Food for dinner on days when camp goes to 9:00 pm. The dinner break is from 4:00-5:00 on those days. You will be able to leave campus if you choose, but many find it is easier to bring dinner with them so that you aren’t rushed getting back for the evening rehearsal block.
All regular rehearsal equipment (instrument, binder, charged phone with UDB - see below)
Band Camp: UDB app and your phones
When we learn drill, we use an app called UDB (Ultimate Drill Book). Please remember to bring your fully-charged phone with you to camp each day along with a charger if your device has battery issues. If you have not yet done so, please make sure that you have downloaded the UDBapp Pro (gold icon with the shadow of a marcher).
Instructions have been provided through Parent Square on how to download the App prior to Monday of band camp.
Band Camp: Dress Up Days
Don’t forget band camp dress-up days. Students will change into their dress-up day outfits at the evening break (approx. 7:00 each evening) with a parade of costumes and awards given at the end of the day. Please make sure that your outfit doesn’t interfere with your ability to rehearse!
Parents and guardians, we are in need of volunteers to provide Band Camp support. Please be on the lookout for a volunteer sign-up.
