Band Camp Information

When?

Band camp is usually the first week in August each summer. Students are required to attend band camp in order to properly prepare for the marching season.

We also usually have a parent and student meeting approximately 2 weeks prior to band camp, so please keep an eye out for that date, time, and location.

Where?

Please keep an eye out for Band Camp communication for the location each year. In the past, we have gone to Ferris State University, Lake Superior State University, and Alma College.

Volunteers for the Marching Band Season

It certainly takes a village to make this program run! There are signup papers at the Parent Meeting. We will be in immediate need of people to help with uniform fitting. If you are interested, please email [email protected] 

Band Camp Q&A

Snacks Donations Question: Can you clarify....are you looking for INDIVIDUAL portions, pre-wrapped? For example, if I sign up for veggies....how much would constitute one slot? If signing up for salty snacks.....one big ol' bag of chips for one slot or a large box of individual bags to count as one slot??

Answer: We are not necessarily looking for individual portions for Band Camp snacks. For example, you could send a bag of baby carrots and that would be just fine because we put them in a bowl or on a tray and kids can serve themselves. If you were to send a bag of pre-popped popcorn, we would pour those into cups or coffee filters to serve to the kiddos. As far as "slots" on the sign up, we are pretty loose as far as what counts as a "slot". If you sign up for one "slot" but bring 4 boxes of granola bars, that's great!
