Yes, it is bewildering to contemplate that another marching season is rapidly approaching. That must mean that it’s time for Band Camp! Accordingly, band will be working on the new show all week in preparation for one of the most exciting seasons yet. And although you may not be able to enjoy the heat with the students, you can look at the latest pictures from camp as they are added throughout the week. Aside from actually marching on the asphalt in 90 degree heat, it’s the next best thing to being there. Click on the picture above to get started.
