Preparing for Camp

• Go Outside — It takes 7-10 days to get acclimated to the heat. We spend one block a day outside for Pre-Camp and two blocks a day at Band Camp. Go outside and get some activity in. 

• Hydrate — start building the habit of drinking plenty of water (if you don’t already). For the sake of your body, no energy drinks or other sugary drinks. Only water and booster provided drinks are permitted at camp. 

• Eat — everyone eat something for breakfast. Lunch and dinner will be provided at Band Camp only. Bring a lunch for Pre-Camp. For the safety of the students, no one is allowed to leave campus for meals. 

• Play — if you taken some time off from your instrument this summer, start getting your playing chops back. Long tones, scales, and music are great places to start. Even a little bit of playing helps. 

• Prepare — The more physically and musically prepared you are, the more successful you and the entire group will be. Remember that great individuals and great organizations START STRONG and START FAST. 

In Consideration of our Caretaking Team

The caretakers have been working hard to prepare for our camp. To make their jobs easy each day we're here and to ensure an efficient turnaround for athletics and school the following weeks, please adhere to the following:

• Please only use areas needed for camp. Our areas are the Band Room, Choir Room, Fine Arts Wing, Gym, Auditorium, Cafeteria, grand halls, and side halls. No one should be in classrooms that are not Fine Arts; no one should be down the halls of the Y.

• If eating inside, please only eat in the cafeteria. Dispose of all waste properly.

• Please only use the restrooms by the auditorium, Fine Arts Wing, and Stadium. All other restrooms are cleaned and prepped for school.

• Please use the shoe brushes when coming in from the stadium. They do help limit turf from being tracked. 

•  At the end of the day, please leave the building as soon as possible so we can all go home and get ready for the next day.

• Students should park in the staff lot and enter Door 13. For your safety during construction, please avoid the front lot and drop off loop. The back lot is only for staff and directors. 

Remember that we share this building with others. Leave spaces better than you found them and represent the band well!
