Band Camp

Glacier High Band Members will be meeting at Glacier High School from August 7-9. All Band Members are encouraged to attend all practices and rehearsals. Any student unable to attend any of these practices should notify Mr. Barr with the reason, (758-8687, 406-212-3939, or barrd@sd5.k12.mt.us)

We will combine regular rehearsal activities, leadership building, social activities, and general fun to create a memorable experience students will enjoy.
