Winter Camp is an annual required event and a part of the HHS band program. It is band camp….but for concert band. It’s our chance to prepare our spring music and become better musicians while having outstanding guest conductors and professional musicians on your instrument come in and work with you. It is a chance for you to learn more about your instrument and get instruction from professional musicians and collegiate level conductors. The rehearsals are long, but it will be worth it. We want you to get the most rehearsal time with the clinicians. You will be at school late on Thursday and you miss school on Friday. Plan ahead with these teachers! Logistics Dinner - The Band Parents have arranged a meal for you on Thursday. You must stay on campus for dinner. so we don’t include you in our count. If you are not planning on eating this food, you need to bring food or have your parents deliver it to the school. You will eat your normal school lunch at 11:30 on Friday. Thursday Dinner –Please click here to order your dinner from Jason's Deli: Missing Class - Mr. King has excused you from class on Friday. All band members are expected to be at all rehearsals.
