Greetings from Our Leadership

Pre-Drill objectives include developing the ensemble visual and sound, introducing players to the musical standards for the season, learning the music and visual accompaniment for the upcoming performances, rehearsal of music to be performed in the stands, as well as the further development of music, marching and maneuvering fundamentals. Lunch and dinner are provided, but parents may bring meals at noon and 3 pm, respectively. For safety reasons, students are not permitted to leave campus during the Pre-Drill day. ALWAYS eat a balanced breakfast before arriving to campus. ALSO, work to stay hydrated-WATER, WATER, & MORE WATER! Avoid caffeinated drinks (sodas and tea). Caffeine is dehydrating. Dehydration has a negative effect on your concentration and performance ability. Please take advantage of the scheduled water and rest breaks provided throughout the day.

Schedule

Leaders & First-Year Members Including Auxiliary : 9 am-7 pm

Upperclassmen Including Auxiliary: 11 am-7 pm

Please note: We cannot compromise the integrity of this very important and intensive week where the band will learn the majority of the visual and musical productions to be used for this season. Please schedule all medical appointments or potentially conflicting obligations after the conclusion of the camp. We appreciate your cooperation in respecting this arrangement.
