Committment is REQUIRED!!

The purpose of band camp is to ensure that all students who will be participating in the half-time show will have the necessary time to learn their spot.  This is a vital time for the band because each student is being made responsible to learn their music and their drill.  If a student has to miss any days of band camp for any unexcused reason, the student is automatically put on an alternate status.

 
Our goal is to make sure that the students have all the tools in front of them to be able to attain success.
