Calendar Notes:
1. Note that Freshman/New Student Camp will be June 27-29, combined with the full band Parade preparation time on June 30 and July 3.

2. Regular after-school times for next year are in the evening during the extremely hot days at the beginning of school. These times will be moved earlier after Labor Day.

3. October calendar will be given as soon as UIL and other marching contest dates are set.

4. Summer dates are critical attendance! For example, if you are a new student and miss the week of freshman marching camp and the parade, you will miss ALL of your new marcher fundamentals!!!! Initial evaluations for the Varsity Block will be during Parade Week this year! It will be VERY DIFFICULT for you to catch up and have a chance for the Varsity Marching Band when August starts!
