Band Camp:
This is what band is most known for, and is the biggest event for our band every year. Why? Because it takes a lot of planning and it helps make our newcomers feel adjusted with their new family, learn marching basics, and enhances each member’s musicality all at the same time.

FAQs

FAQs

How can my child fulfill their A-G requirements while taking band?
  • There’s two main ways that we know of right now is to either to select a Pre-Period PE during your child’s freshman and sophomore year so they can use their PE period during a normal school day as an elective period to take classes like German or Spanish. But, if your child would not like to take a pre-period, Yuba College offers free college classes to HS students that is equivalent to 2 years of a high school class and is also counted for college credits. Please contact your child’s counselor to make your decision!
Does Band interfere with sports?
  • If a sporting event interferes with a band event, please see Mr.Z! We want to support our musicians and we strive to make sure you can fulfill your high school experience in your own way as much as possible.
