Band Camp!!!
The largest middle school band camp in the district is back for the summer of 2024! Come join students from Killian, Creek Valley, Arbor Creek, Griffin, and Lakeview middle schools for a week-long, fun-filled musical experience. If your student is in town we would like them to attend!
Students will be divided into two bands based on grade level and learn new music in a clinic-style format. Think of it like band class but BIGGER and BETTER!
The camp also includes social activities and a special End-of-Camp Performance for parents and friends.
This year, camp is at Hebron High School!
