Details
All parents and students must attend the mandatory registration meeting on Saturday, July 26th at 5:00pm in the North Marion HS Auditorium, at the conclusion of our final "half day". The meeting will cover upcoming camp events during the full week, and allow parents to meet with all of our staff and Booster board. Members will also receive their new uniform items at this event!​
Band Camp is a closed rehearsal atmosphere and, without prior notification, visitors will not be allowed on campus. Camp is like any other school day, and visitors must sign in with our main office to be on campus. Thank you for understanding.
If you would like to volunteer please visit the volunteer link to complete an application. Then, email alicia.tank@marion.k12.fl.us to let her know your intent to volunteer.

Band Camp Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Is band camp required?
A: If you wish to participate in the Competition Band, yes. It is our only opportunity to work together and learn all of our music and drill to be ready for our early-season competitions and football games. However, it will be one of the most memorable and rewarding experiences of your high school career!
​
Q: How much does band camp cost?
A: Nothing! Attending camp costs nothing more than your Competition Band fees - meals are included. Please help us continue offering a free camp by donating to our Feed the Stampede Campaign!
​
Q: What meals are provided at band camp?
A: For our HALF camp days at North Marion HS, lunch is provided. For our FULL camp days at North Marion HS, lunch and dinner are provided. Students with specific dietary restrictions should notify Mr. Janosa in writing at least two weeks prior to the start of camp so that we can plan accordingly.
Q: What forms are required for band camp?
A: All attendees must have turned in their "On Campus Permission Form" and "Emergency Contact Form" - linked below. Students who attended our Colt Stampede Days in May likely turned these in already, but copies are available any time from Mr. Janosa. These cover your student for all on-campus band activities year-round, and save you from more paperwork in August!

Q: What do I need to bring to camp each day?
A: See the "Band Camp Information Pack" below for a detailed packing list.
