HAWK BAND CAMP

2025 - 2026 BAND CAMP: JULY 28th - 31st

Marching Band Camp is the “official” kick off to the Marching Band Season. Band Camp is mandatory, and all members are required to be in attendance.

Band Camp:

For all rehearsals spanning the lunch hour, students need to either pack a lunch, or parents need to deliver lunch to their student. No student will be permitted to leave campus for lunch, with the exception of walking to local stores to purchase items.

Band Camp Items:

There is a list of items that students will need to pack in a duffel bag or backpack and bring to each rehearsal with them. Please go over this list and ensure that your student is in compliance. Some items are necessary for students’ learning drill and music, and some items are necessary for their health and safety. It is essential that ALL items are at each rehearsal. 

The list is as follows:

  • Water Jug – at least one gallon in size. Jug must be filled with ice and water at home and brought to Camp each day. The importance of having a full jug upon arrival cannot be overstated.
  • Sunscreen - aerosol is best - and students should apply first at home, and reapply on breaks during the day. It is best to have an extra can on hand at all times.
  • Appropriate Clothing - for the outdoors - shorts, light colored shirts, hats to shade the face, and tennis shoes with socks. Having an extra shirt and pair of socks in the duffel bag is always a good idea.
  • Large Black Towel – this is necessary for students to protect their instruments from the floor and ground.
  • 1 Inch Three Ring Binder - Soft sided – must be filled with clear sheet protectors to hold music.
  • Pencil
  • Bug Spray - especially important for Guard, as they occasionally practice in the grassy courtyard.

Parental Help:

Families are also needed to donate fruit – this is typically frozen and will be handed out to students during water breaks during Band Camp. Favorites include grapes (pulled from the stems), pineapple (fresh, diced), oranges (sliced), and apples (sliced). All fruit must be prepared at home and delivered to a Water Duty volunteer at the start of practice in a large Ziploc baggie.


Also help will be needed to size students for their marching band uniform during band camp.

Athletic Clearence:

All students must complete the following before band camp:
