Dear Parents and Students,
I hope you are having a nice summer and charging up your batteries for a very exciting year with the “Class Act” Band!! To start our adventure we will need to hone our super powers. A great deal of training will take place during band camp and your attendance is vital!
All our camps are free and take place at Hudson High School in the band room or athletic field.
New this year, we will be switching camp times on August 1 & 2. We will be inside during the hottest time of the day and outside during the morning or evening hours.
GUARD CAMP July 22 – July 25 from 8am – 4pm
