INFO ABOUT BAND CAMP:

  • START HYDRATING THE WEEK BEFORE!  Drink plenty of water over the weekend!  Be sure to keep hydrating throughout Band Camp and August - even once you're home after practice and just want to sleep, drink that glass of water before resting! 

  • Parents please check-in with your student on their first drop off morning at the check-in table by the Rock.  (Tuesday for rookie marchers and Wednesday for ALL returning marchers).  Volunteers will be at the check-in table starting at 7:30 AM to confirm paperwork and answer any questions.

  • Be sure to eat a good breakfast before arriving at camp.

  • Arrive 15 minutes before start time.

  • BRING LUNCH!  No students are to leave campus during Band Camp.

  • Bring a water bottle (or water cooler/jug) pre-filled with water from home.  Be sure your water bottle has your name on it.

  • We will have water, Gatorade and snacks available.  

  • Wear comfortable and supportive shoes for walking.

  • Bring and wear sunscreen, hat, sunglasses.

  • Bring a towel to wipe down.

  • It may be a good idea to bring a fresh t-shirt and an extra pair of socks for the afternoon session.

  • Band lockers will be assigned during the first week.  Bring a lock if you would like to secure your belongings.

  • Bring any medication needed during the day, including Advil, Tylenol, EpiPen, etc.  Parents and instructors are not allowed to hand out any medication.  

  • Students - do not leave "emergency" medication in your locker - be sure to bring it with you as you move around campus throughout the day.

  • We do have a "First Aid" Bag with basic supplies:  band aids, wraps, ice packs, peppermints (upset stomach), etc.

  • Wake County Schools monitor the weather for the summer sports/band programs.  If there is a "Code Red" heat advisory day, we will still have practice, however it will be held indoors.

  • There will be a time during the second week of camp to take a brief nap or rest in the afternoon.  Kids can bring a pillow, blanket, slippers/flip flops, and a change of clothes if they like.

  • Parents - be sure to attend the Parent Meeting on Tuesday, July 22nd at 7:00 PM in the auditorium.
