General Guidelines Regarding Rehearsal Times
- Students should plan on arriving at least 15 minutes before the start time.
- It always takes students a little bit of time to put things away and get ready to leave...so usually they are ready for pick up about 10 minutes after events end.
- Parents should plan on picking students up no later than 30 minutes after the posted ending time of the event. We do our best to always release students on time, please make plans to pick up your students on time.
What Do I Wear and Bring?
- Comfortable clothing: tennis/athletic shoes and socks (NO sandals/boots, etc.), shorts, t-shirts, sunglasses
- Water jug
- Your instrument (we will provide instruments for students who play the following: oboe, bassoon, bass clarinet, tenor saxophone, bari saxophone, french horn, euphonium, tuba, percussion)...all others need to bring their own instrument. ***If you need assistance regarding instruments, contact Mr. Tyler Simon, Associate CCHS Band Director by clicking here.***
- A positive outlook and attitude!
What If I Can't Make All Three Days?
As with all high school band events, rehearsals and participation are required, however we realize that at the end of the year there are multiple Intermediate School events going on.
If, for some reason, you cannot attend all three nights, please contact Tate Fincher, CCHS Director of Bands at tfincher@ccisd.net to let us know. We will work with you and your schedule.
The three days of camp are structured so that if someone misses one day, they will not be lost.
