MARCHING "100" SUMMER BAND CAMP
Targeted Audience: 7th - Recent 12th Grade Graduate
The Marching “100” Summer Band Camp is one of the most comprehensive band camps in the country. This band camp offers middle and high school students the opportunity to improve their music proficiency, improve their marching concepts, play in small chamber groups, as well as perform concert band and jazz ensemble music. We have an excellent auxiliary staff that instructs our color guard, dancers, twirlers and drum majors.
Every student should bring his/her own instrument. Unless, he/she plays a large instrument i.e. snare drum, bass drum, tom-tom drum, tuba, or quads and does not have the ability to transport them. (We have a very limited number of instruments for rental).
Be a part of the internationally famous Florida A&M University Marching Band Programs for grade levels 7th-12th. A special invitation is extended to middle school students who will be entering a high school band this fall.
Learn from the FAMU band staff, Marching 100 members, and visiting directors. Over 100 of the band's present members have volunteered their time and effort in order to make this the best summer band camp in the country!
