Summer Band Camp 2021
Based on the approved school calendar for next school year (21-22), we will plan to start band camp on Monday, July 19th and it will continue through August 3rd (the day before school begins). If you plan to participate in marching band, do not schedule vacations or major trips/events past this date. Students participating in marching band are required to be at band camp.
We will be working to solidify a complete summer schedule soon including rookie camp, guard rehearsals, percussion rehearsals, and leadership training.
