Fall Show Camp
We just finished 8-8 week! On the first day, we learned TWENTY-THREE sets. And even better, we marched AND played all 23 of them at the end of the day! FANTASTIC!
We did such a fabulous job that on Wednesday and Thursday we went home after dinner. We learned over 40 sets (the first two songs) and the guard learned a lot of routine for song #1. This year is going to be GREAT!!
Here are some pics and a video from the week.

Marching Band Camp Info
WJHS Marching Band Camp Items
ATTIRE: Students should plan to be comfortable, but school dress code policy still applies. No spaghetti strap tops, tank tops, short shorts, etc. Shoes should be appropriate for marching (band) / dancing (guard) – NO FLIP FLOPS OR BARE FEET!
THINGS TO BRING:
Inverted-tip spray paint bottle – any color (available at any hardware store, like Home Depot or Lowe’s) – this will allow us to move through charting faster because students will not have to wait to have someone else paint their set.
Small stencil – take a small piece of cardboard (about 5 inches x 5 inches should do) and cut out a shape from the center of it (keep it simple – about 3 inches x 3 inches, maximum). Use this to spray your set and not your shoes. An original shape and color should help you better identify your spots on the field.
Hydration packs – this will allow students to have water with them AT ALL times
Sunblock – not just sunscreen. The more you use at the beginning of camp, the more comfortable you will be throughout camp. If you want a tan, get it on your own time – not during camp week (you’ll burn instead – trust me on this). If you are allergic to sunblock, plan to wear lightweight clothing with full coverage.
Zinc Oxide – especially for lips, nose, and ears.
Water bottle(s) – We will NOT be providing cups this year and students will NOT be allowed to share water bottles or drink straight from the water jugs. Students may wear hydration packs and/or bring water bottles to refill.
Hat & Sunglasses – protect your face, head, and eyes by keeping them covered.
Instruments / Equipment – you’ll need to have these with you after lunch for our music/routine rehearsals, and after dinner for our marching/music/routine rehearsal.
Pencil, “Gangsta Jazz” Music, Chart cards – You will need to have these with you AT ALL TIMES. You will be given your chart cards on the first day of camp.
Airmax – for wind players to help with breath support. This will be used during breathing exercises. You will be given your Airmax on the first day of camp.
Attendance scan card – this will enable us to ensure we credit you with your correct attendance for rehearsals. You will be given your card on the first day of camp and we will explain how to use it at that time. The card will be on a small chain so you can attach it to your instrument case or marching band backpack.
Drawstring backpack – we have drawstring backpacks available for student use to keep all of their marching band items in one location: empty water bottle, pencil, marching band music, chart cards, Airmax, spray paint, stencil, attendance scan card, etc.
Canopies – many students will bring canopies for themselves and their sections to get out of the sun during breaks. These are more than welcome as long as they are set up and taken down outside of rehearsal time or during scheduled breaks. Susan Richards (INCENTIVES PLUS) has donated 3 canopies to the band for use during this week, so please make sure to pass along your thanks to her and her company!
Coolers – students are welcome to keep coolers outside with snacks, drinks, etc. for breaks.
Battery-operated fans – these can be picked up at places like Party City for very little. They often have a neck strap so they can be worn around the neck and used to keep students cool.
WHAT TO EAT (bring for food)
PLEASE plan to eat a good breakfast BEFORE coming to rehearsal. Cereal, fruit, etc. are better choices than fast food.
FOR SNACKS: fruit or fruit-based snacks, string cheese (if it can be kept cold), vegetable sticks (carrots, celery, etc), water/juice are all better choices than candy and pop. Sorry guys, the more healthy, the better.
FOR MEALS: most students will be eating lunch at school, so sandwiches and fruit are good choices. There will not be access to a refrigerator or microwave, so please plan accordingly. Students are encouraged to stay away from fast food so that they may keep up their strength. All students WILL eat during lunch, whether they are hungry or not.
BREAKS: breaks will be given about once an hour, so students will have plenty of opportunities to get out of the sun, use the restroom, hydrate, snack, etc.
**You are an amazing group of young men and women and I have every confidence that you will meet or exceed our goals for this week. Thank you for all of your hard work to date. I am looking forward to a tremendous season with you all. Take care!
