The time is finally here for Band Camp!  We’re excited to get the year started.  On this page you’ll find a schedule for camp, forms you’ll need, information about the schedule for the fall semester, and more.  This camp is for marching band members only.  If you are spring semester only, please be patient as we finalize our rosters and email lists.  We appreciate your patience in getting this information out.  

1. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate!! (And wear sunscreen too!)
2. Here is a list of supplies and pointers for preparing for band camp. (SUPPLIES-CLICK HERE)
3. Here is the schedule for band camp (SCHEDULE-CLICK HERE).  The second week, we will be learning both the football and competition shows, so there may be blocks that are competition only.  We honestly want to see how the band is progressing and make those calls during the first week once we get a clear picture of how our time should be divided.  We also have to schedule pictures with Greg Machen during the second week.
   • Students– We will be finalizing the competition band roster during the first two days of camp.  We’ll be asking if you would like to be considered.  This may be a conversation to have with your parents about what you’re interested in and the time commitment.
   • Parents – Please note in our band camp schedule that we have a new parent Q&A on the first day (Monday, July 17) from 6-7pm.  This is a great time to get acquainted with the program, learn a little about caring for the marching uniforms, meet other band parents, and ask any burning questions you have prior to the start of school.
4. Here are the forms you’ll need to bring with you on  Monday 8-9am. The Out of County form is only required for leadership on Monday; other members can turn in the Out of County form in August. We will have a notary at the band room on Monday & Tuesday at 6:30 pm, if needed. 

• Out of County form (NOTARIZED) 
• Physical form (completed by doctor)

4. Here is the football show music (FOOTBALL MUSIC-CLICK HERE).  Please print this and place in a binder for next week.  Returning members: Remember to locate or print your fundamentals packet.
5. There will be a Parent performance after rehearsal on the last day of band camp (Monday July 31) at 7 pm to celebrate the end of camp and the beginning of the school year.   We will have a band family cookout during the dinner hour that day!  Come meet the band booster board, hang out with your kids,  enjoy a hot dog, and stay for the parent performance!  We hope to see you there!
6. You may have received an email about“New Student Tours”  from the BJHS admin.  These will be Tuesday, July 25 at 3:30 pm.  Any new students that wish to schedule a tour will be excused from camp.  However, you must select the 3:30 time so you can eat dinner during our scheduled break from 4-5pm.
7. Madison Band Supply (Order form—CLICK HERE) will be taking orders during uniform fittings so please bring the order form and payment on your assigned day on the schedule.  ALL WINDS/PERCUSSION are ordering new band shoes since we’re changing styles.  This isn’t optional (upperclassmen-speaking to you).  
8. Here is the schedule (PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE-CLICK HERE) for football games, competition band, and other performances for the fall semester. Please take note of the fall break obligations (Oct 6 football game, Oct 7 parade) and do your best to avoid conflicts.

We cannot wait to see everyone on Monday.  Students can be dropped off at the band room.  Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns prior to the start of camp.  Go Patriots!!
