Band Camp isn’t just a warm-up—it is the season. In this episode, Chris and Scott break down why those intense long days of Band Camp matter more than most people realize. Nearly half of your entire marching band season happens during band camp, so what you do with that time can define your program.
We dive into the real purpose behind camp: building culture, teaching students how to learn, and setting the foundation for everything that follows. Plus, we share our three key pieces of advice: Trust the process, play the long game, and get involved.
Whether you’re a parent, student, or band director—this is where the season really starts. Let's dig in. Band Camp is required for your students, so this episode is required for you!
