Students and parents are encouraged to listen to these comments from our judges. There are a lot of things that we do well, and a lot of things that we can improve on. Hearing things from someone outside of our program is very beneficial!

Band Camp Info.


When: July 30, 2018 - August 3, 2018

Where: Thomas Nelson High School

Who: All members of the Marching Generals



Good evening! With band camp right around the corner, I have some information for students and parents that is imperative to us having a successful camp. The dates of camp are listed above, and a schedule of each day can be found in the handbook. One of the most important bits of info. about camp this year is that students will not be permitted to leave the school for lunch and dinner. Each student should come to camp each day with enough food for both meals. Do not leave your house without packing your lunchbox. We will be exerting a lot of energy and it is vital that students get enough nourishment to stay healthy. 

Along with your meals, make sure to bring the following with you to camp. These materials will ensure that we have a smooth week:
  • Water bottle
  • Close-toed athletic shoes (students who do not adhere to this will be sent home to change shoes)
  • Sunscreen
  • Hat
  • Sunglasses
  • Pencils
  • Binder with sheet protectors for music
  • DEODORANT 
  • Food

There will be professionals coming in for band camp to work with you all! This is an exciting opportunity and I expect that all students be respectful to our guests and really take in their teaching.

Marching Band Handbook 2018








Marching band season is upon us! The link above will take you to the handbook for this year. There is a student contract and a parent contract at the end of the handbook that must be signed and returned to Ms. Dykes by the end of band camp. Each student will receive a physical copy of the handbook, but the link will always be accessible. If you have any questions about the handbook or it's contents, don't hesitate to contact the director.
