Junior Fife & Drum Camp



CAMP IS FULL
Once again, the Junior Fife and Drum Camp has filled up quickly!! We will continue to take registrations for our waiting list. Anyone who is placed on the waiting list will be notified if a space becomes available. Placement on the waiting list will be based on the order in which the registration was received.

AUDITION VIDEOS NEEDED
Audition videos may accompany your regisration or sent any time BEFORE May 31, 208. All campers are encouraged to do an audio/video. However, this does not mean that if we do not get a video you will not be able to come to camp. It will help us to place you in a compatible music group so you get the most out of camp! If you do not send an audio/video you will automatically be placed in the group with the least amount of experience. Audition requirements can be downloaded here. Audition music is available here in the Library!

Camp Rules
It is most important that we all behave responsibly if we are to be allowed to return to these facilities in the future.

Summary of Camp Rules
Any camper who repeatedly fails to follow instructions of any chaperone (or other member of the camp staff) will be referred to me immediately and will run the risk of being discharged from camp.

- Campers will check in for roll call with their respective team of chaperones before each meal, before boarding the bus, and upon disembarking from the bus.

- Campers are expected to eat their meals while at camp. Admittedly, this sounds rather basic, but year after year, we do encounter difficulties with people who just don't want to eat. Anyone who refuses meals will be discharged from camp.

- Lights out will be at 11 p.m. for campers 12 and under and 12 a.m. for those who are 13 and older. We have a busy week and everyone needs to get enough rest in order to be fully prepared for the following day's activities.

- No campers will be allowed to smoke during camp. No exceptions.

- After every meal, a group of campers will be responsible for cleaning up the dining hall. The group's chaperones will help oversee their progress. This duty will rotate among all the campers. It is not the responsibility of the clean-up crew to pick up dirty plates, empty cups, and the like, so all campers must throw away their own trash after each meal.

- No food or beverages are allowed in the classrooms. Water bottles are the exception.

- There is no need for any tools, Swiss Army Knives, pocket knives, etc. Please leave all articles of this nature at home. If anyone chooses to bring anything to camp that might be included in this category, this item will be taken and the camper will not be allowed to return to camp in future years. If any damage is done with said article, then the camper will be sent home immediately.

- Dress appropriately for camp. Mini-skirts, tops with spaghetti straps, tops that are low cut, and garments that reveal the midriff area are not appropriate camp attire. Pants that are worn so low as to expose undergarments are also not acceptable. Use common sense, and perhaps a little parental guidance, here.

- No foul language will be tolerated.

Camp Departure/Deep River Performance
Parents or a designated representative will pick their camper up on Friday, July 18th by 3:00pm from the Camp. It is their responsibility to get their Camper to The Deep River Muster field by 5:00 for rehearsal on the field. Please get make sure that the Camper gets something to eat before rehearsal. Direction to the filed will be provided if needed.
