Band Camp Checklist
Our 2025 Summer band camp will occur over two weeks. July 29, 30 & 31 we will have evening rehearsals from 6 pm - 9pm to work on music and marching basics. The following week, Monday, August 4th through Thursday, August 7th from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM and Friday, August 8th from 8:00 AM to 6:30 PM. Rehearsal will BEGIN promptly at 8:00 AM each morning in the band room, so give yourself enough time to get to the school, get instruments/equipment ready, and be seated by this time.
Please make sure you have the following items for camp:
REQUIRED ITEMS:
_____ Eat a full nutritious breakfast
_____ Have all rehearsal essentials (instrument, music binder, pencil, etc)
_____ A packed healthy filling lunch
_____ Bring a BIG JUG of water with you in a water bottle or sports bottle for drinking during outside rehearsal with the summer heat – HAVE LOTS OF WATER!
_____ 3 ring 1” loose-leaf notebook (bendable/lightweight plastic cover is best)
_____ string (heavy duty – about shoelace thickness – need about 2 yards)
_____ highlighter or bright marker
_____ sneakers with socks (DO NOT WEAR ANY OTHER FOOTWEAR!!!)
_____ Wear a hat & sunblock – please bring and use it – TRUST ME
_____ Wear light-colored athletic attire (school-appropriate)
RECOMMENDED:
_____ bug-spray
_____ hat with visor
At least 5-6 hours of rehearsal will be spent rehearsing on the field each day, so these required items are in your best interests – please don’t improvise (especially with the footwear). DO NOT wear sandals!!! They are horrible for marching and can be quite uncomfortable after 6 hours of moving around the field. SNEAKERS AND SOCKS!
On the last day of camp (Friday, August 8, 2025), there will be a performance for family and friends at 6 pm. This pre-season performance will demonstrate what we learned at camp. Plan on being here until around 6:30 PM on that Friday – MARK YOUR CALENDARS.
