Two Weeks of Growth: GMHS Band Camp 2026

The Great Mills High School Marching Band wrapped up an exciting two weeks of band camp with tremendous progress both on and off the field! Students learned new warmups, strengthened their instrumental and marching skills, and spent time getting to know their fellow band members as they worked together toward a common goal.

One of the biggest accomplishments of camp was putting Movement 1 of our 2026 field show, Siren Song, on the field. We finished our second week with valuable rehearsal experience on the Great Mills High School athletic field turf, giving students their first opportunity to bring together the music and movement they have worked so hard to learn.

Throughout camp, our students were supported by a wonderful group of instructional techs and led on the field by Drum Major Hannah. We even welcomed a few special guest marchers—Principal Dothard and Chief Mack—who joined the band for some time on the field!

A special thank you goes to Mr. Ramsey, our Band Director, for his leadership and dedication throughout camp, as well as to everyone who helped make these two weeks a success.

Band camp may be over, but our season is just beginning! Regular rehearsals begin next week as we prepare for our first performance of the season—the Great Mills Classic on Saturday, September 12, right here at Great Mills High School. We can’t wait to share Siren Song with our families, friends, and community!

Go Hornets!
