As we prepare for the upcoming season, Summer Band Camp is scheduled for July 20 - August 1, 2026, at West Mesa High School.
Band Camp is a required class component, and attendance is mandatory for all students enrolled in the band program. This camp is essential for learning our music, drill formations, and marching fundamentals, and building the teamwork and discipline to make our band successful.
Please mark your calendars and plan accordingly to ensure you are present for the whole duration of camp. As we approach the start date, more details regarding times and what to bring will be sent out.
