All parents and students must attend the mandatory pre-band camp meeting on Tuesday, July 23rd at 6:30pm in the North Marion HS Auditorium, after our ensemble rehearsal. The meeting will cover trip itinerary, travel policies, and will have a notary (free!) in attendance for camp form signatures. Rookie members will also receive their new uniform items at this event!
​
Trip forms which must be signed include:
1) "Off Campus" permission form (must be notarized)
2) "On Campus" permission form
3) Emergency Contact form
4) (Only if needed) - Medication Authorization form
All forms must be submitted before your student steps on the bus on Friday, July 26th - no exceptions.
Band Camp is a closed rehearsal atmosphere and, without prior notification, visitors will not be allowed at Camp Kiwanis. This is for student safety and immersion. 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.

If your student requires a prescription medication to be on hand or administered during band camp, please fill out the medication form on the back of the Signature Forms pack.

Q: How much does band camp cost?
A: Nothing! Attending camp (overnight included) 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!
