Camp
Summer Band Camp consist of a total of fifteen days of rehearsals.
Band IS NOT an ala-carte activity. High School band begins in July (approximately 30 days prior to the first football game) The finalized dates will be posted around the first week of December after the OHSAA November meeting to set the official start of athletic practices and the seasons. This ensures that students who are playing fall sports and are in band will be able to attend both.
Enrollment in band is on a yearly basis (summer practice, band camp, marching band, and concert band). The prerequisite for HS band is a successful participation in band during 8th grade as well as full attendance during summer band camp. Students must participate in all sections. Students are required to attend ALL band rehearsals and performances. Band members who are on the varsity football team must make arrangements with Mr. Summers before summer practice begins. Varsity football players who are unable to march on Friday nights will not be scheduled or receive credit for band during the first grading period. Candidates for Majorette and Flag Line must have participated in 7th and 8th grade band to qualify for those squads and must be in band at the time of tryouts. After the marching band season they will resume playing their instrument in the concert band.
