Typical Daily Schedule for Band Camp
(tentative and flexible in case of changing weather or changing instructional needs)

Note on Arrival Time: 

"To be on time is to be late - to be early is to be on time" 
Each student must arrive with sufficient time to be completely prepared for rehearsal.  Students who are habitually tardy (more than two!) may be placed on alternate status and may lose their regular position on the marching field.

Note on Dismissal Time: 

Dismissal time is the actual time rehearsal ends.  Every student is then responsible for proper storage of all equipment and for assuring that the  band room is ready for the next rehearsal before leaving.

Band Camp Weeks - Daily Rehearsals
(Monday - Thursday)

Students are expected to have all music, drill notebooks, instruments and WATER at all rehearsals along with pencils, chalk and markers.  Students are responsible for keeping all music and drill charts fully marked with instructions given during rehearsal.  Notebooks will be provided, however students may want to enhance their drill/music notebook with page dividers and/or organizers for pencils, pens and chalk.  Organization and thorough preparation will be your personal keys to success!
