    • Bring extra snacks just in case you need the additional energy for each day.
• Drill Charts and Dot books—students will be receiving these items on the Wednesday of camp—Special dot books have been ordered and this is their text book for the marching band class.

Students will also be fitted for their uniforms during the course of our camp.
