Band Camp will take place August 18 - 25 in accordance with Welcome Week activities. The full schedule is being prepared, but expect rehearsals from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. each day with 90 minute breaks for lunch and dinner.

Be prepared to practice in high heat and humidity. Sunscreen, hats, sunglasses, shorts and water bottles will be the fashion for band camp. It is best to wear tennis shoes or sneakers that are already broken in. New tennis shoes or sneakers will result in LOTS of blisters!

Only the following instruments and equipment will be issued:
