Band Camp

Band Camp, August 4-8

All Band Members will be meeting at Glacier High School from August 5-7, Percussion only August 4, Fair Parade August 8. All Band Members are encouraged to attend all practices and rehearsals.

The major objective of band camp is to prepare our students for summer performances and the marching season. By meeting in the summer we can focus on individual needs, get a jump-start on the school year, and meet new friends. We will combine regular rehearsal activities, leadership building, social activities, and general fun to create a memorable experience students will enjoy.

What to wear? Comfortable clothes, appropriate for the weather, with good athletic shoes for marching. NO FLIP FLOPS!!
