ATTENDANCE/PRACTICES
Student attendance is expected at pre-Band Camp, at Jump Start on May 12 & 19, at all band clinics held on Tuesdays in July and August from 4-8 PM (see below) and if applicable, at Color Guard Camp, unless your student is out of town or sick.
Elite performances are possible when each student plays an integral part in our band program. Any absence will be noticed as a gap where your student marches, plays, or dances. We do not have substitute players to fill in for absent members. Families are asked to honor this commitment; barring illness or family emergencies, attendance is required at performances.
The first day of Band Camp is Monday, August 13, 2018. This is the first day of class for the academic class called “Marching Band” and will continue to meet until the end of marching season on November 9, 2018. Consult the Band Season Schedule for class dates which is subject to change at the discretion of the Band Director. Any absences require the same notification from parents as any other academic course. Please refer pages 10 and 11 of the HCPS Code of Conduct for further clarification.
