Your marching directors put on these camps during the summer to give students the opportunity to grow in their marching skills and musicianship as well as build stronger bonds with their peers. Attendance at these camps is highly encouraged. We can do great things when everyone participates!
Any absences from these camps need to be communicated by email to Mr. Woolard. Please do everything you can to get your student to these camps.

This year, we are excited to participate in the KC Leadership Team Symposium, an event put on in the Blue Valley school district. This is required for all selected EHS Band Section Leaders and Drum Majors, and will prepare our team for the upcoming Band Camp and long marching season!
This event features two previous Phantom Regiment drum majors and a major concert band conductor in the industry! They will take students through a variety of leadership and teaching techniques and breakout into groups for more in-depth conducting and score study training for drum majors. This will also be a wonderful experience for these students to bond with each other, discuss things pertinent to our own band, and make connections with students from other schools in the area!
Check out this flyer for more detailed information on the clinicians!

Any student who is not in attendance for the majority of the Full Band Camp will start the school year as an "Alternate Performer."
The students participate in daily team-building and ice-breaker activities, giving them a social group to be proud of going into a new school year.
