Tips for Band Camp

Check fhsbands.com for scheduling.
Water is your friend. Bring water, drink water, be water. Lots of people use CamelBaks.
Bring sunscreen, hats, sunglasses, etc. We will be in the sun. It is hot. You will burn.
Wear comfy, athletic clothes. We will be marching and stretching and you need to be able to move.
Lunch or dinner will be provided by the lovely band boosters each day. If you have special dietary needs consider bringing your own food.
The band directors are busy people so always ask student leaders questions before going to the directors.
- Your section leaders are your friends. Don’t be afraid to ask them any questions.
- Don’t be afraid to ask people where your coordinates are on the field. They all went through the same thing and will be happy to help.

- Hang to dry
Always double and triple check to make sure you have all your uniform parts.
Try putting black hair ties on your wrists over your gloves in order to keep your gloves in place.
Tuck the laces of your drill masters inside your shoes to keep your shoelaces from coming undone and tripping over them.
LONG BLACK SOCKS.
If you have long hair pulled back and concealed in shako.

If you’re early you’re on time. If you’re on time you’re late.
Don’t worry about having to choose between playing a sport and band. You can do both!
Keep money in your bib pocket for football games. You will want to buy something at the concession stand during half time.
