Chattooga High School marching band students are being reminded that band camp begins Monday, July 6, at 8 a.m.

Band students are urged to begin hydrating now and not wait until camp starts. Students may bring their own water jug or thermos, but should avoid soda, coffee and energy drinks. Water and Gatorade will also be available.

Students should dress for hot outdoor practice, including light-colored clothing appropriate for the practice field. Hoodies and dark clothing are discouraged because of the summer heat.

Lunch options include bringing lunch from home, having lunch delivered at 12:15 p.m., or eating what is provided by the band boosters or volunteers. Students will not be allowed to leave campus to get lunch.

Band leaders say students are expected to attend every day and stay for the full day unless they have already made arrangements for an absence.
