August Pep Band Sign up
Who can attend?
Students who are returning to the Clint Small MS Band program that have 1 or 2 years of band experience.
What is Pep Band?
Pep Band is an extra ensemble that performs at pep rallies and the homecoming football game. We rehearse fun rock and cheer tunes. Pep band students are also called upon to perform at other school events throughout the year to help build school spirit and community. The summer camp is the only time we can get all 7th & 8th graders together to work on this music; when school starts they will be in three separate band classes. 8th graders will also get to perform this music in the fall when they attend a high school football game.
Is it required?
It is not required but we’ll use this time to get our playing skills going and learn how to play as a group! We hope you can join us. We want to have the best sounding MS Pep Band in town! To do that we need as many students as possible.
Cost List due on 2nd day of camp. Cash or check. (will hopefully get it set up online as well)
Instructional Cost: estimate $30
Optional Trip cost: estimate $30 https://pinstackbowl.com/.
Additional Cost: Add $10 to camp and/or trip fee if your child needs a flip folder/lyre.
