Marching Band Camp will run from 1:00-4:30pm July 1st-3rd, and will close with a performance at the Vernon Hills 4th of July Parade on the morning of Thursday, July 4th (exact event time TBD based on parade lineup number). The camp will feature rehearsals, sectionals, and a variety of fun activities! Marching Band Camp is for students entering 6th through 9th grades in the fall of 2024 who have played a traditional band instrument (woodwinds/brass/percussion) for at least 2 years; incoming freshman looking for a summer experience should consider registering for Marching Wildcats as well and participating in the HS Marching Wildcats Band Camp July 29-August 2.
Students will need to supply their own instrument and accessories (mallets/sticks for percussion); some marching instruments are available upon request, as is storage for large instruments. Percussionists participating in the drumline will be placed onto a school-supplied instrument as determined by the drumline instructors. The camp is led by LHS Director of Bands Adam Gohr and Wildcat Drumline Instructor Savannah Hendricks
