Band Camp Commitments

Dear Band Parents,

Before each school year, we kick off the marching season with Band Camp. Color Guard and band members will work with music coaches, learn marching techniques, and bond closely as a team. For the 2019-2020 school year, band camp will be August 8-14. Please add these dates to your family calendar, and let us know that your child will attend so that we have an accurate count. Please fill out the form below by June 4th. Permission slips will be sent soon.

We do not receive any funding from the district to pay for this essential learning and bonding experience, so we depend on outside sources. The SLO Instrumental Music Boosters Association (SLOIMBA) raises funds to ensure that all student musicians attend camp, which will cost around $22,000. To help accomplish this, we are asking parents to consider making a $200 donation. All band members benefit from this fund.
