All of band camp is mandatory.  Plan vacations now. If you 
cannot make band camp, please do not enroll for the class. Plan vacations AROUND band camp.  

There will be serious consequences for those that miss 
portions of band camp.
 

Band camp can be an enjoyable, positive experience IF 
everyone listens to instructions the first time, saves 
socializing for breaks, works hard, accepts constructive 
criticism, dresses appropriately, knows their routines/music, 
and possesses a good attitude.
 
Speaking of dressing appropriately, NO ONE is to wear pajama 
pants or boxers as their top layer of clothes.  The ladies 
are the worst about this.  Also, do not roll pants or

shorts down at the top, or wear revealing clothing. 
Gentlemen 
are to wear shirts at all times. We will have 
zero tolerance 
for clothing violations.  Multiple 
offenses will be deemed gross insubordination resulting in 
immediate dismissal from the program.  Ye be warned!
 
One of the main reasons for band camp is to get the band in 
shape!  The physical demand is the most difficult aspect, 
not the heat.   The heat just shows how out of shape you 
really are.  If you did not play sports because you could not 
handle the physical stress, marching band is NOT for you.  
Being crabby, hateful, and showing a poor attitude because 
you are hot and out of shape is unacceptable behavior and 
will not be tolerated.   Below are a few things you can do 
before band camp to make your experience more enjoyable.  

 
1.  You must be un-air conditioned.  Be active outside during 
the hottest parts of the day.  If you get hot, sit in the shade, not in the AC.
2.  Start jogging or taking brisk walks for at least 30 minutes 
at a time.  If you get hot, sit in the shade, not the AC.
3.  Practice until you are physically spent.  The next day, try 
to go longer.  The next day go longer, etc.
