Full Class Description Information:

Step into the world of marching band this June and discover the excitement of music and movement! Designed for middle school students (completed grades 6 - 8) with at least two years of playing experience, this course will give you a taste of the marching arts!

For 2026, the marching band will include a color guard that will spin flags to add to our visual presence. Students that have completed grades 5 - 8 are welcome…no experience needed for guard!

All students will:

Our camp ends with an exciting live performance at the Albertville Friendly City Days Parade on Sunday, June 14. Students will be involved in the parade for approximately two hours.

Rehearsals will take place June 8 - 12 at Middle School West from 9:30am-12:00pm.
