Things to know about Band Camp

Parents - Students were informed of the basics of band camp at the last practice in June.  Below are a few of the basics Mr. Hinman covered.  Please note that your student must turn in a current sports physical soon.  This is required in order to participate in marching band and guard.

Students should bring the following:

Mr. Hinman also addressed the following items with the students at the last practice regarding apparel for band camp:

Students should wear appropriate, modest, comfortable clothing, which includes:

Shorts (appropriate lengths - no short-shorts)
T-shirts (appropriate):  Everyone's shirts should cover their shoulders to help prevent sunburns.  NO spaghetti strap tank tops, swimsuit tops, bare midriffs or backsides, etc.
