One GIANT perk of being a member of the Cardinal Marching Band is that you will move into your permanent campus housing at registration for camp... which is over a week before the rest of campus moves in for New Student Weekend!!!
Drumline, Auxiliary, Woodwinds, and Brass: Due to construction at the Campus Center, the location for check-in will be announced closer to move-in (Sunday, August 7). Representatives from Campus Life/Housing and the Band Staff will be available to help you find your dorm room, secure a meal bracelet, and/or get back to Battelle for percussion placement auditions or signing out of school instruments.
Commuter/Non-resident students:Your check-in schedule is exactly the same, except you don't have to worry about moving into a room. Any questions can be answered by the band staff at check-in.
You'll have just enough time to drop your gear into your room and move on to the next event. It's wise to have a band camp "go bag", then pick away at setting up your room throughout the week.
The Band Fee:
Every member of the Cardinal Marching Band is charged a course fee of $140 to help defray the cost of band camp and support the regular maintenance of instruments and uniforms. This will appear on your Fall semester tuition statement.
