Now that the year is coming to a close, it’s time to start thinking about our summer marching calendar.

Anyone who is entering 9th-12th grade and is in high school band next year is required to attend all events listed on this calendar.

 
I have also encouraged band students entering 7th and 8th grade to attend as many of these events as they would like. It is a great challenge and lots of fun.

Monday, July 2nd -- Marching Practice Day!

Freshman Marching Camp - 1:00-3:00pm
Incoming freshmen (and any high school band student who has not attended marching camps in the past) are required to attend this session to learn the fundamentals of marching in time while playing an instrument. 

Percussion onlv SECTIONAL Practice - 3:00-3:30pm
Percussion section will learn/review our band's drum cadence, and the complex drumline parts in our parade music. 

FULL BAND Marching Rehearsal - 3:30-5:00pm

Watch the movie "Drumline" (optional) - 5:00-7:00pm
As a reflection of their hard work marching today, students may stay in the band room to watch the movie "Drumline" (rated PG-13 . If the want to go home instead they may do so. 

Wednesday, July 4th -- July Jubilee Parade

10:30am warm-up in the band room followed by the parade.

Wednesday, August 15th -- FULL BAND Marching Rehearsal

3:00-4:00pm in the band room

Sunday, August 19 -- Harvest Festival Parade

Bus Departs from school - 11:30am

** ALL SUMMER EVENTS ARE REQUIRED **

Failure to attend any of these summer marching events will result in a failing grade at the beginning of the next school year. Conflicts with vacations and trips must be resolved before these dates. There are no exceptions, except for family emergencies, of course.
