Information about School Registration, Band Registration & Band Camp

The various sections of the Marching Band (Winds, Percussion, and Color Guard) will not meet together as a group until the start of Band Workshops on Monday, July 31st. Section leaders may call sectional rehearsals throughout the summer.

In mid-July, you will be receiving an email via Constant Contact that will have the Band Handbook and all the information you need for Registration, Band Camp, uniform fittings, Preview Night, and the fall season. If you’re not already subscribed to the Constant Contact Music Department Newsletter, you can subscribe here.
 
Heads up! ALL Band and Guard students will have their school registration, ID, textbooks, etc. on Monday, August 7th.

The day will start with the Seniors, followed by Juniors, then Sophomores, then Freshmen (Freshmen, note the day change). Mr. Stone has worked with the High School Administration to get the Freshmen registered on Monday so the Band can depart as a group to Band Camp on Tuesday, August 8th.
