You can get the Band Handbook, Excused Absence Form, Practice Logs for Quarters 1-4, Order Form, Honor Band Form, Power of Attorney and the USF H.O.T. Day Trip Form.
Stands Music
In addition to our halftime show, and school songs……almost all of our stands music have been copied. Feel free to come and pick them up (in the band hall), so that you can practice over the summer.
Now, it’s possible for you to come to Band Camp prepared.

Band Camp
I want to thank everybody for coming and participating in our Band Camp this past week. On average, we had about 40-45 students each day….which is about two-thirds of our band! Not many bands can come out of their camps saying that they can play 40-50 stands tunes, their entire Halftime Show, the Fight Song, the Alma Mater, and the Star Spangled Banner. In addition, it’s remarkable that our Drumline can already play through 5 cadences, in addition to the stands tunes and show music! It’s essential that you practice between now and our first day of school. Our band can only be as good as you make it!
