Band Camp

Band Camp General Information

Camp is a mandatory function of the Maloney Band Program. It is a two-week summer training program designed to begin the fall marching band program and prepare all members for the upcoming year. All members must attend. Conflicts must be discussed with the director by a parent prior to August 1. Attendance is taken at every day of camp at 9 sharp and at the return from lunch break. Unexcused absences/tardiness will result in lowering of grades and elimination from the field show.

WHAT DO YOU NEED FOR CAMP?

For band camp, you must bring your instrument, your music and yourself. A marching band folio (small flip folder), and a lyre to fit your instrument will be needed as well, and can be purchased at camp over the first few days. You need to bring a water jug with you as well! Make sure you dress in shorts, sneakers and a light colored t-shirt. No flip-flops, sandals, etc.

Each day requires a lot of physical activity. Please wear light clothes (shorts are recommended), and bring something to drink. Please be sure to eat a good breakfast before each session, even if you are not accustomed to eating breakfast.

Camp will take place at Maloney High School band room and athletic fields.

Uniform Info: All members of the band are required to purchase a pair of marching band shoes. These shoes if properly taken care of can last through each year of school. They can only be purchased at camp and the cost is $25.00.

New members are also required to purchase a polo shirt, which is used for certain performances and events. This can last for the full four years if taken care of.

There are some other small expenses that can come up, including flip book and lyres, guard gloves, sticks, etc. All needs will be conveyed clearly over the first days of camp. Students do not need to show up the first day with money or checks.

All purchase requirements and equipment needs are updated and distributed to students at the start of camp each season.

All checks for shoes and anything else related to band can be made out to The Maloney Band.
