    Our regular after-school practice schedule will begin on the second day of school, Thursday, August 8th, from 3:00 - 5:00.

    REGISTRATION:

    Since drill is written during the summer, it is crucial to have correct numbers and can be difficult to revise if our numbers change. Please be sure to fill out your registration form ASAP.

    MARCHING / AUXILIARY FEES: 

    Auxiliary: refer to your auxiliary budget sheets and contracts for uniform fee costs.

    Marching Band: fees are $175.00

    ATTENDANCE:

    Our organization would never be able to achieve its true potential without the full attendance of its members. Perfect and timely attendance is expected to be the norm. We know circumstances will arise where attendance could be an issue. Please make arrangements to attend band camp in its entirety. Missing even one day can put you and the band behind.

    If you have any conflicts, contact Mrs. Nix immediately at gnix.oh@ccboe.us, band office 256-741-4919, or send a direct message to Mrs. Nix on Remind.

    BAND CAMP CLOTHING:

    Please wear appropriate clothing: no crop tops, no spandex shorts. This is a school event so students are expected to dress accordingly. Everyone is to wear comfortable tennis shoes and socks at all times! Students should also remember to bring a hat/sunglasses to wear outside.

    TIPS and TRICKS for SURVIVING BAND CAMP :
