SPRING BAND CAMP:
All Percussion students will be required to attend this year's Spring Band Camp which is held May 1st - May 5th.
ABOUT OUR CAMPS:
These camps are all educational masterclasses and each student will be given multiple opportunities to try instruments, from marching drums to keyboards as they learn techniques and exercises together! The more camps the students attend, the more they will learn and give the Directors opportunities to accurately place them in the ensemble. These camps are designed to be comprehensive, so failure to attend a camp may result in a student falling behind in instruction.
All students are asked to bring their own sticks and drum pad. (At least for the first few camps) Below is a list of recommended materials that all members should have before the high school year starts.
