2011 Toro Band Camp Schedule

This is the daily schedule for our 2011 Band Camp, which will be held on the Mountain View Campus. Our goal as an instructional staff is to create a camp-like atmosphere with minimal outside distractions, just like if we were able to travel away for camp. This allows the students to form a deeper bond with each other, which will in turn, increase the success of the band. We are asking for your cooperation with this. Please do not schedule doctor/dentist/orthodontist appointments or any other events during these times. Students are expected to stay on campus for all meals that are listed. Nothing on this schedule is optional. All members are expected to attend all rehearsals and other events. Lack of attendance may result in removal from the group. We are a competitive program, and to reach our potential we must have everyone present. We have alternates who can take your place should attendance become a problem. We will not go back and re-teach things that are missed. Students should arrive on campus no later than 15 minutes prior to the first event each day. Students are expected to follow MPS dress code and behavior expectations. Dress-Up Days: These are intended to add a little spirit to Band Camp. Participation is highly encouraged, but optional. Goodwill is a great place to go for cheap clothes if you dont have any of the right color or style! Please remember that in the evenings, you may need to wear something else in order to march properly. Dress code for marching rehearsals is listed below.
