Bullets Marching Band Camp

Marching Band in the StandsBand camp is an important and exciting time for the members of the Bullets Marching Band.  During this seven day period, we learn two complete shows (Pregame and Halftime) as well as standardize our musical and marching styles.  It is not only work, though.  We also spend time getting to know each other and having fun. The Bullets Band Camp schedule is designed with periods of rehearsal and time for relaxation and social activities.  Section leaders and student leadership are the primary leaders during rehearsals, and elected class representatives (including a 1st Year Representative elected during camp) plan and facilitate all social activities.

Students attending band camp will check into their campus housing when they arrive for camp. This provides a great way to learn the campus and become familiar with your new home prior to the arrival of the majority of the student body.  Meals are provided as part of the band camp fee, along with a variety of other items necessary for participation in the Bullets Marching Band.  Other items are available for purchase on the band intent form. For more information, click the "Join the Band" link on the left.
