Maloney Band Camp 2023

Are you ready for marching band?

SUMMER PERCUSSION & COLORGUARD INFORMATION

The Maloney Band has a long tradition of active fall performance seasons with competitions, football games, trips and more! We are so excited to get the 2023 season started! 

The Summer Camp Session is a mandatory component of the band program. All members must participate in camp if they wish to be a part of the program. Scheduling conflicts must be resolved with the director at least two weeks prior to the start of camp. All camp rehearsals are at Maloney High School this year. 

In addition to the schedule below, our colorguard and percussion programs do have weekly summer practices. A schedule will be sent directly to those students. 

Communication: We make every effort to communicate with our students and parents effectively and in advance of all activities. We use the ParentSquare for most correspondence, so please be sure to read our posts and messages. These communications may include forms, surveys and other tools to get your feedback, permission or request your support. If you have any issues accessing ParentSquare, please reach out to brian.cyr@meridenk12.org. PLEASE NOTE: We do communicate directly with students in the ParentSquare-StudentSquare App in relation to schedules, event specifics and other topics that are their responsibility. We believe that high school should teach responsibility and we expect our students to read correspondence and be responsible for their schedule, equipment, supplies, attire and more. 

Dates of camp will not change, but times are subject to change based on the availability of our staff. Any time changes will be conveyed to students as soon as possible.

CAMP INFO:
When you come to camp, please make sure you dress comfortably (shorts, t-shirt and sneakers), wear sunscreen and bring a jug of water with you. And... bring your instrument if you already have one. If you need an instrument, we will take care of you on your first day.
 
Please remember that camp is required of all members and all band members need to attend camp in order to play with the group. Camp is a ton of fun, we play quite a bit and learn a large portion of our fall show.

 

 
Lunch is not provided at camp. You have a one-hour break for lunch. You are able to bring a lunch and picnic out front or in the room or walk to a local restaurant with other members during your break (members are not permitted to leave campus alone - great time to make new friends!)
 
If you have questions about the program, please email me!
 
The team is super excited to start our season, so get ready for a great year, great music and great performances! See you soon!
