Band Camp

Band camp is an intensive workshop, where new and returning students begin training for the upcoming fall competitive season. Held in August, students learn and review basics in music and marching, and have fun activities such as swimming, theme dress-up days and a poster contest. Our band camp is usually held in and around our own band room, at SCHS. All students of the Cardinal Regiment are requested to participate. The last day includes a parent meeting, potluck dinner, and a performance by the students.

2021-22 band motto poster are presented and voted for on the last day of the camp. Groups are preselected across grades.

Every day is themed. Last day, which is guardian concert day, was "decades day", where each group was dressing from a specific decade.

The Band boosters provide a meal daily to the band students..
