Things to Know
Dates:
All new members, Percussion students, all Auxiliary, and all Leadership will attend Rookie Camp, which will begin on
Meals:
Lunch will be provided by the SCS Band Boosters and we encourage students to eat. You will not be allowed to leave campus to get lunch or dinner and we discourage people from getting outside food from coming in. The boosters have worked hard on getting this food in for your child. If there is a food allergy, please make note of it on the Registration Form. Be sure to eat healthy, complete meals during band camp. You’ll need strength and energy to make it through rehearsal! The amount of band camp meals will be decided upon and student's informed before camp each year.
Attendance:
Our outstanding band organization did not gain its reputation without the full attendance of its members. Accordingly, your perfect and timely attendance is expected to be the norm. Please print and keep the Band Camp Schedule for reference during band camp. Minor adjustments in the rehearsal schedule may occur as needed; however, the time parameters will not be expanded. Ask off from work NOW!
Equipment:
Your instrument and equipment should be brought to each rehearsal (including our first meeting). You will need a pencil to mark your music and drill charts. During rehearsals it is very important to wear only quality athletic footwear. The practice field will take its toll on your feet, so be prepared!
Uniforms:
Uniforms will be checked out during band camp week. Your Band Uniform Maintenance Fee part of your band fee and is required to be paid prior to uniform checkout. In addition to your black patent leather uniform shoes. Everyone wears the same type of shoe to march in. A representative will take orders for shoes during camp ($35).
Instruments:
The Equipment Officers will check out school-owned instruments during the first meeting of band camp. All large instruments (Sousaphones, percussion, baritones and mellophones) are provided by the school free of charge. However, individuals are responsible for any damages. Please take care of our precious instruments!
Music & Charts:
Although the Marching Aggie Band always memorize their music for performance, we prefer that instrumentalists carry their music for reference during all rehearsals. Also, please plan to carry a small notebook and pencil for drill coordinate notes. These items significantly improve the efficiency and productivity of our rehearsals.
Color Guard:
Members will be required to purchase some personal items for use in the guard. Please be prepared to make these purchases before or upon arrival at camp. Please check with the Color Guard Sponsor for any additional information.
Majorettes:
Members will be required to purchase some personal items for use in the guard. Please be prepared to make these purchases before or upon arrival at camp. Please check with the Majorette Sponsor for any additional information.
