Band Camp is usually held in the first full week of August 9:00 am - 6:00 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 the Sunday 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 Yahoo Group eMail to ensure you have all the important information sent to you through the year.
