CAMPUS BAND
For students looking for a less intense option than marching band competition season, campus band is available. Campus band members do not participate in marching band competitions or rehearsals, but they do still attend home football games and play in the pep band. Most are enrolled in second period band during the first semester instead of first period with the rest of the band. For those that are enrolled in first period, they follow the same curriculum as second period band, where they work on pep band music and The Star Spangled Banner. Campus band members DO need the accessories listed above.
