Camp Days


As students there are limited opinions you are able to voice to adults.
If your band camp experience has ever been in need of some help, here is your chance to be heard.

Directors are beginning to prepare for their summer band camps and may be able to use some input from students. So don't be afraid, speak up and be heard.

What do you want to get out of band camp?
What helps you learn?
How could your director make camp more fun for you?
What is your favorite band camp practice style?

Your Best Show Ideas

Last year some of the popular themes on the field were; Pirates of the Caribbean, Nightmare Before Christmas, Cirque du Soleil: Quidam. But now it's time to think about next year.
  • What are some themes you have thought of?
  • Tell us about your best idea for a show.
OR, if you are having trouble with specifics, share some show components that interest you.
  • What style or mood do you like in a field show?
  • Do you like lots of props? voice overs? equipment changes? solos?
Dream up any type of show you want, it is your band after all.

Director of the year


With the end of the school year quickly approaching we'd like to give everyone a chance to say a few words about their band director. Whether you are a senior with only a short time left of your high school days or your director will be retiring/leaving your school and you want to tell them how much their teaching has meant to you.

Share a memory of your director.
We'd love to know all about your "director of the year".
