PAST NEWS MARCHING BAND & COLOR GUARD: Band Camp Start Dates New member tip: If you arrive at the time on the calendar, you will be late! Always arrive 15 minutes before “report” time, as the day’s activities will start promptly at that time. Arriving at exactly 9am (or whatever report time may be for an activity) will make you LATE! The same goes for the end of band camp and rehearsals. Even though the calendar will say we end at 5pm (or 7pm, or 10pm, depending on the day), students will talk with their section leaders, store instruments/props away, and take care of other brief after-rehearsal tasks. Parents, please expect that students may come out to the cars any time from 10 to 30 minutes after the end of rehearsal. Thank you for your understanding!
