Marching Band Camp

Marching Band Camp 2012
August 21-25, 2012 (Tuesday - Saturday)

Band camp is crucial for all members of the The UMass Lowell Marching Band. We hold a four-and-a-half day camp, at which three-quarters of the show, both visual and music, is taught. With several early season performances, it is important that every member make every effort to be at camp (it IS mandatory for freshmen/new students/transfers)

Our first performance may be Monday September 3, Labor Day Parade.
However, will definitely perform September 4 (Convocation 2012) and our first rehearsal will be during school on September 5, 2012, at 6 p.m. in the Concert Hall of Durgin Hall.

Schedule
Freshman, new members, and transfers report to the lobby of Concordia Hall, South Campus, the week of August 21-25.  Check in is at 8:15 a.m. Student staff members will be there to assist you.

All returning members should arrive at Fox Hall at 8:45 a.m. All members will be housed in the dorms. The first meeting of all members will be held in the Durgin Concert Hall at 9:30 a.m. Please come prepared with instrument, small notebook, and pencil, as we will begin rehearsal shortly thereafter.
