BAND CAMP CALENDER

This year, band camp will start at its usual time but with a new wrinkle. In order to ease the transition for new members, the first two days will be focused on introducing first year members to various techniques, terminology and practices. Returning members will join us for the rest of camp beginning on Wednesday, August 6th. The calender for camp and evening rehearsals is posted below. Our tentative performance calender, two posts below this one. Please take a look and let me know if you have any questions. Thanks & I'll see you in August - Mr. E.
