Very Important Info This Week’s Band Camp!
Hello Band Family!!! 🎶
It is that time of year again. Band Camp 2026 is upon us! We are so excited to get this edition of the JOCO Trojan Marching Band up and running!
Band Camp will be July 20th - 24th from 8:00am to 5:00pm. Students are to report to the bandroom at 8:00am.
Students: PLEASE MAKE SURE TO EAT SOMETHING BEFORE COMING TO CAMP. HOWEVER, please make sure it does not have dairy. With how hot it will be outside, dairy will make you sick. 🚫🥛🧀
We plan to be outside from 8:00am - 12:00pm, the coolest part of the day. That does not mean it won't be hot or sunny, however! Please make sure that you or your student is dressed appropriately for Camp:
Hats
Sunglasses
Sunscreen (with enough to reapply, if needed.)
Bug Spray (with enough to reapply, if needed.)
A personal fan of some sort, such as a neck fan
Water Bottle
Deodorant! (with enough to reapply, if needed.)
School appropriate hat and shorts (NO JACKETS OR SWEATS, PLEASE!)
Comfortable, closed-toed shoes (no crocs, slides, or anything that can fall off)
Any medications that your student may need.
We will provide students lunch at 12:00pm. We will eat in the cafeteria. We have tried to make every lunch able to be eaten by those with different dietary needs, but if your student has a specific dietary need or allergy, we need to know that ASAP.
Students: PLEASE make sure you are DRINKING WATER, especially after camp and when in the AC. You will be sweating a lot, and your body will need that water to get rehydrated. 💦☀️
Students: Come well rested. Please make sure you get a full night of sleep! We have a lot of learning to do this week, so you need to be as alert as possible. 💤
Students: Please make sure to eat before, during, and after Camp. We will be doing a lot of physical movement and playing our instruments a lot. Eating good food (not just junk food!) will help replenish that used energy.
Finally.... Come ready to HAVE FUN!!!! 😁
We are looking forward to seeing everyone at 8:00am in the Band Room on Monday morning! If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to us!
Just a reminder: the band has a zero tolerance policy for vapes, ci******es, ma*****na (including THC), energy drinks, and/or alcohol. Yes, ENERGY DRINKS. The combination of the high amounts of caffeine in energy drinks alongside the heat and physical exertion of Band Camp is NOT a good combination. Please help us out with this.
See y'all Monday!!
