If you are interested in joining our Band Program, including Guard, please feel free to come out during our camp to check it out. It’s not too late to become a member of our organization.

This fee allows us to provide lunch, drinks, and snacks for our students for the duration of our camp.

To download the required forms for our band program, please visit our forms portion of the website. From their you will be able to access (view/print) our Band Handbook, Band Order Form, Honor Band Forms, Fundraising Information, Power of Attorney (requires a notary) and our Trip Survey’s. We are still in the process of updating our Band Handbook and Fundraising Information, but everything else listed has been updated. Students will be given a copy of these forms during Band Camp and the 1st day of school.
For a student who wishes to participate in either “HOT Day”, USF’s Festival of Winds, FSU’s Tri-State, or the All-County/All-State Band’s, you must fill out the appropriate forms… the Trip Survey, Honor Band Forms, and the Power of Attorney (which gives us the ability to seek treatment for you in the case of an emergency).
These forms are important!

These day’s will take place on July 13th, 20th and 27th from 8:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. During this time you are welcome to come practice your All-County/All-State music, halftime show music, scales, etc… These are not required, but are encouraged for students who are planning on trying out for either All-State or All-County Band.

Rock-a-thon Details
This Friday, May 20th, is our bands first Rock-a-thon. Due to some concerns from our school and district administration the Rock-a-thon times have been changed. The Rock-a-thon will now take place from 3:00 p.m. – 12:00 a.m. Other than the time change, nothing else has changed. Students are still allowed to bring some small snacks, games, books, etc…. to help stay occupied. We will be in need of approximately 5 rocking chairs, so please bring one in if possible. In addition, Mr. Medders will be staying after school with us to teach our students (and chaperones) some basic first-aid skills and will teach them how to properly administer CPR.
Again, I apologize for the time changes, and hope everyone is still capable of attending. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask.
