Hello!
Music Camp is for all students enrolled in a music ensemble class at Granada High School. This includes Band, Orchestra, Guard, Drumline, Jazz band, and Choir.
Music Camp is a head start to the year for us in a variety of ways, including making sure students have a support network when school begins, teach/review fundamentals of music making and movement, and get students introduced to the program. As it is the week before school, this is not a mandatory camp, but students are strongly encourage to attend.
For Parents: There is a Music Parents Fall kickoff on Tuesday, August 15. Rookie parents will start at 6pm and veteran parents will join at 6:30pm. We plan to meet until 8pm. This is intended to make the goals clear for the year and answer any questions anyone may have. It is also a great opportunity to meet fellow music parents across all of the programs.
For Students:
-
All students should come to camp with athletic shoes, hat, sunscreen, water, and clothing that allows free movement.
-
Be on time and ready to start by 8:30 each morning.

Dismissal times and add-on rehearsals vary by ensemble; see Mr. Pascoe's email for details.
