BOBCAT BANDS 101: THE BEGINNING
For 8th grade band students planning to advance to the High School program, things will start happening in the spring of the 8th grade year. For current HS students, preparations for the next season of band will also be getting underway.
Mid-March, Band Camp info: detailed Band Camp information will be released. This will include several forms that must be completed in advance, including physician authorization for most prescription and over-the-counter medication. Band Camp location and payment information will also be included. The forms are typically posted on this web site. Basic camp information, and photos from the previous year's camp, are available year round on this web site.
Late March, Jazz Ensemble auditions: auditions for next year’s HS Jazz Ensemble, open to students currently in grades 8-11. Current members need not re-audition. As Jazz Ensemble is a separate class, students in Jazz Ensemble need not also participate in MB/CB (although many do).
Late April or early May, squad leader tryouts: squad leader tryouts for next season, open to all returning MB/CB students currently in grades 9-11.
Early May, uniform measurement: 8th graders’ measurements will be taken for MB uniforms. GHBPA volunteers will come to school and do this during the band period.
