Registration

There is no pre-registration for band camp. Please arrive a few minutes early to the first camp as there will be medical forms and general information forms that parents will need to fill out. The summer band camp is designed for Marching Band members as there will be marching elements; however, all band students are welcome.

Fees

The camp fee is $150 for each camp. If you are not able to attend one of the camps, the full $750 payment must still be met. This fee covers all of the expenses for the marching band season.

The Marching Band expenses include: sectional instruction (provided by outside professionals), custom show design, music, props, uniform maintenance, overnight trip/hotel, transportation to all competitions including State competition in Ocala, entrance fees, band camp costs, guard equipment and uniforms, equipment maintenance/transportation. Excludes uniform shirt, shoes, and gloves/body tights for color guard.

If you are not able to attend one of the camps (or one of the days) and plan on participating in Marching Band, please email the director to let us know so we can plan ahead: BandDirector@BocaHighBand.com.
