Need to Know:
- READ THE NHS MARCHING BAND STUDENT-PARENT HANDBOOK!! It contains everything you need to know about NHS Band Camp, participation in the NHS Marching Band and how parents can help their children and our highly regarded marching band succeed.
- The musicians will work hard, but there is lots of fun too which helps them form a strong bond and dynamic team spirit that only gets stronger throughout the year and beyond.
- Drum majors and section leaders plan special events during the day that may involve funny clothes or hats or ...
- It's HOT in August, especially on the pavement of the parking lot where they march. Wear light colored, loose fitting clothes, comfortable shoes, a hat and sunglasses. Bring sunscreen and a water jug.
- The music boosters supply water bottles and occasional treats each day. We are always looking for volunteers. Any help is greatly appreciated by all.
- Any parents interested in bringing snacks, EZ-up shades we can borrow for the week (the more the merrier), drinks. Stop by on occasion to help with hydration/sunscreen/student welfare...helps to have an extra set of eyes.
- On the final day of band camp during the evening practice, the band will perform their entire show. Family and friends are encouraged to attend. You will be amazed and proud.

WHAT TO BRING:
BE PUNCTUAL!
To be early is to be on time, to be on time is to be late, and to be late is to show you don't care. |
Band Camp is usually held in the first full week of August 8:30 am - 8:00 pm. Students need to report to the band room 15 minutes prior to start time. Attendance is very important at Band Camp--it's where you learn the show (marching & music). Drum Majors and Section leaders make sure everyone is aware of Band Camp times and the importance of being there.
The Music Boosters usually host a meet and greet for the freshman band members and their parents before the first day of band camp at 6:00 pm outside the bandroom at Newark High School. Pizza and drinks are provided. The freshman "Bandies" will have a chance to meet their section leaders and drum majors. Parents will have a chance to meet other band parents and ask questions. The Music Boosters will make sure to add you to our Google Group eMail to ensure you have all the important information sent to you through the year.
