Band Camp Information

BAND CAMP 2023

Truman High School 

Monday-Friday

7/31-8/4 and 8/7-8/11 3pm-9pm

Band Camp, those infamous two weeks of fun in the sun! We have several suggestions and many required items to make Band Camp as comfortable and productive as possible. 

During band camp your child NEEDS to bring the following each day: 

✓ Instrument and music ✓ Highlighter

✓ Lyre (recommended for wind instruments) ✓ Pencil 

✓ Music flipbook (we have them for sale) ✓ Snacks 

✓ Comfortable Sneakers

✓ Emergency Form and Registration Form (see explanation below) 

Below are a few helpful suggestions: 

✓ Wear cool comfortable clothing (light colors) 

✓ Extra shirt to change midday 

✓ Sunscreen 

✓ Water (Plan ahead, much better to have TOO much, than not enough) 

✓ Deodorant, body refreshers are recommended, no perfume please!! 

✓ Extra money for drinks, snacks that the boosters sell during the day. 

✓ Students are to arrive on time and be picked up on time 

Shoes: Students will be permitted to march in sneakers ONLY. Students not wearing appropriate footwear will not be permitted to march. They will be spending several hours a day on their feet and sneakers provide both comfort and protection against the unevenness of the football field and anything that may be on it. Please be sure the sneakers are broken in, a blister early on will only affect your entire band camp experience. 

Forms: All students MUST hand in the emergency and registration forms on the 1st day in order to practice, otherwise, the student will not be allowed to participate until they are handed in completed. The Band Boosters will be available to accept the forms. Any medication that may be needed or medical problems should be brought to the attention of the directors and boosters. Students’ wellbeing is of the utmost importance.
