Band Camp Supplies

Here is a list of things you need to have at band camp - every day. Leave a comment with other ideas if you think of things that we've missed.


  • Water Bottle - larger than 20oz - we drink a lot of water since we are out in the sun most of the day

  • Food - be sure to bring food or money for lunch and dinner. You can also bring snacks for breaks where we say it ok to grab food

  • Sunscreen - enough to apply it multiple times per day. A lip balm with sunscreen would also be a good idea

  • Hat - so you do not burn your head and face - it will also help keep you from overheating

  • Sunglasses - ideally ones that do not block your peripheral vision

  • Clothing - loose fitting (no jeans), have appropriate items for both hot and cold weather

  • Shoes - comfortable shoes with socks

  • Dot book - multiple pages, with a string/shoelace to make it wearable

  • Music binder - 3-ring binder with plastic pages for music, which contains all music, exercises, etc

  • Pencil - with eraser, since we make lots of changes throughout the year



Most of these items are appropriate for all rehearsals, so keep them handy :)
