2021 Marching Band Camp
Pre-Camp - July 19-22 - Location: CHS
Band Camp - July 25-30 - Location: CHS
The rest of our season calendar can be found by clicking here
Location:
Band camp will be held this summer at CHS. The school supports our return to Lincoln Lake, but has told us we need to stay at school this summer. This will also give us an opportunity to start fundraising again to help offset the cost of traveling to camp. The good news is that we will have a new full size grass practice field at CHS this season, and we will be able to rehearse and be together as a full group!
Costs:
The cost for this season will be $150.00. This will help cover some of the camp sectional staff, drill, music, shirts, and some food and snacks throughout the season. Please do not let cost be a factor in your participation, we can help! If you have any questions regarding payment plans, financial aid, etc please contact boosters treasurer Cindy VanNoord at crvannoord@charter.net
Forms:
The attached forms packet and a $50 non-refundable deposit (or full payment) is due by June 4. We encourage you to make your payments online through charms. This is important so we can have our music and drill custom written for an exact number of students. Instructions for submitting the forms/payments can be found on the first page of the forms packet.
Handbook:
