Disclaimer: These dates were published exactly 365 days in advance. Please plan your doctor appointments, vacations, etc. around camp. While other schools practice after school 2 to 3 times a week we do not out of respect for your time and our athletic program. While other schools have 2, 3 even 4 weeks of band camp in the summer we do not. We respect the summer vacation, family time, travel opportunities, and educational opportunities our students partake in during their summer breaks. As a result, we have 1 full week of band camp as close to teacher workdays as is allowed. We have the latest, shortest, and easiest of band camps of any school in North Carolina. We run the country club of band camps. Appreciate it. As a result, it is our expectation that attendance for the very minimal 5 full days of camp be 100%. To do otherwise, forces all students to have to repeat information and drill moves when your child comes back after missing. There is no "I'll practice it on my own" for marching band. Especially drill. It slows ALL OF US DOWN for there to be an absence most especially for upperclassmen who are learning drill. Your lack of planning or disregard for the schedule slows every single student who is present down when you return. That is not fair to anyone. Allow the directors, the students, and the band to maximize the short amount of time we have together by having your child where they are supposed to be. DO NOT ASK ME TO MISS DAYS! The price of a 5 day rather than a 10 or 15 days camp is that you need to be present. It is not our job to plan around you. It it your job to plan around 160 other people.

COMMON QUESTIONS?

 

Drop Off and Pickup:  You should drop off in the FRONT of the school this year due to construction at the arts building. 

 

Student Parking:  You can park in the student lot up above the arts building.

 

Athletic Practice? Do not stress. If you have a practice or game... GO TO THAT! We have you in class but your coaches do not. Therefore, their practices come 1st. The only thing we ask if you let us know which teams you are on so we can take note of it. Remind your coaches of this policy. There should be almost zero conflicts ever with any athletic event as a result. This is why there are so many athletes in the AHS Band!
