Band Camp
Each Marching Pioneers season begins with our annual pre-season camp. The purpose of the camp is to teach musical and visual technique, as well as the field show, parade and concert material for the upcoming season. The camp lasts one week, ending just before Labor Day weekend and is required of all marching members of the band.
Details
Uniform checkout will occur during camp. Times will be announced. Your membership dues will be $100.00. In addition to member dues, the cost of one week of meals will be added to your meal plan (for all who need meals provided for camp) and your housing contract (for those who are staying in the dorms).
Show up on time for all practices and bring music, instruments, drill charts, sunblock, comfortable clothes and water to all practices.
Schedule
Any changes to the schedule will be announced by the director.
