  shoes if you dont already have some from
  previous years (28) and an undertard for guard

Band Camp

• Attendance at band camp is mandatory. This is
  where, in one week, we learn the music and drill
  for the show. Students new to marching band
  should attend new-marcher camp just prior to Full
  Band Camp. Please note the dates for band camp on
  the schedule so that families can avoid conflicts
  with vacations, trips, camps, etc.
• Each member has their own special spot in the
  show. It is very difficult to learn drill with
  holes in the band. That is why it is very
  important that everyone be at camp. Each person
  is important and everyone is counting on you to
  do your part to make the show a success.

Band Camp Details

• August 10-14 8am-6pm (lunch break from 12-100)
• ALL MARCHING BAND MEMBERS
• In addition to being able to play all of the
  show, it will be expected that ALL hornline
  (brass and woodwind) and percussion members have
  all of Movement I memorized prior to August 5.
  NOTE Lunch will not be provided. Please plan to
  either brown-bag it, or bring your own to use
  at local fast food places. See schedule for
  times.
• Band Camp can be a physically strenuous week, so
  please eat healthy meals, drink plenty of healthy
  fluids (Water, Gatorade), and get a good nights
  sleep. Any member found without their own water
  cooler may be sent home, so please have your own,
  with your name clearly marked on it.

Post Band Camp

• August 17-21
• Continue learning the show. There will be a
  parent show at 6pm on August 21, followed by a
