Band Camp
Band Camp
Band Camp is usually scheduled at the end of July through the beginning of August. It is required for all students who have registered for Marching Band and Color Guard.
Mandatory for all students, including returning students, incoming freshmen and students transferring to IHS.
Please make sure to save the week for Band Camp when you plan for summer vacations.
You must get your uniform fitted at the band camps. If you missed it, please notify Mr Rodda in advance to make arrangements. **If you are only taking a Band or Orchestra class without a separate Marching Band or Color Guard class on Period 7, you do NOT need to come to the camps, but you still need to sign up at EventBrite.
