July 27-31 – Full Marching Band

Friday, July 31 7:00p. FULL Band Dessert Picnic (including all freshmen even if not in marching band) and Preview Show

All camps at from 8a-4p.  If summer school will  conflict, please communicate with Dr. Thomas.  We understand that conflict.  You can come after lunch.  Taking summer school allows more time in your school year.  Thats a GOOD thing.  We’ll work with you.

Please know, the 2 weeks of band camp is equivalent to 1.5 MONTHS of school!   This time is vital.  Please do everything you can to be in attendance.  We will learn the pregame show, all of the contest show music, and a big chunk of the contest show drill.  This is a BIG DEAL.
