Band Camp Information

Members must wear appropriate clothing to all camp/rehearsals. Athletic shoes must have proper ankle and arch support with a thick sole and closed toe. No sandals, or dress shoes are allowed.  Do not bring valuables to rehearsal, as unattended items are not secure. Shirts/pants/shorts should be of an athletic style. Avoid jeans, tight/stiff clothing, overly baggy clothing and excessive jewelry.  If you show up to a rehearsal and are deemed not to be in appropriate athletic attire, you may be asked to leave to go change with penalty of your attendance for rehearsal.

The Marching Hornets can be very loud, I would recommend getting proper hearing protection before band camp. A "musicians earplug" is one of the best options, as they allow members to hear voice, but will reduce the harmful frequencies that could damage hearing over long periods of sound exposure. Items similar to these would be fantastic, or you can get fitted at your local ENT.  https://amzn.to/3NoH8bG
