Thurdays during the summer.....
The band hall will be open on the following Thursday's during the summer from 9:00AM-4:00PM:
- June 2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd, 30th
- July 14th, 21st
Students can take lessons, practice or meet with their sections for student led training sessions (A Band Director will always be on campus).
Marching camp sessions/socials: 9:00-10:45 EVERY WEEK
Student leaders will be inviting sections/individuals to meet them at Boyd to help:
- Condition (acclimate to warm/hot weather and strengthen endurance)
- Run Music Masterclasses ( stand tunes/show music/prep for pass offs)
- Run Marching Masterclasses ( anything/everything we didn't get to cover at Mini-Marching)
- Socialize (build better connections and bond)
This is not "required", but our goal is for every student on our team to attend 1 if not multiple of these session.
***The students who come to these brief camps will be better prepared and successful going into Summer band camp on July 27th.
