The Cardinal Marching Band does have a one-week camp that takes place prior to New Student Weekend and the start of Fall Quarter. Visual Performers and Percussion come in a few days earlier due to the nature of their sections. Students are allowed to move into dorms early and all meals are provided. There is a band fee to cover meals, t-shirts and other supplies. Our camp schedule is relaxed, with periods of focused work and long breaks to rest and get to know each other.
2008 Cardinal Marching Band Preseason Band Camp
The 2008 Band Camp will be held September 4-10, 2008. Staff, section leaders, percussion and visual performers will arrive for pre-camp Sept 2-3, 2008.
Further information about schedules and specifics will be released in late May.
