Blountstown Tiger Band 2013 Summer Band Camps are here. This year we have four (4) different camps that will allow new and old band members the opportunity to learn their instrument of choice as well as focus on getting our marching band back on the field.
These camps are open to all students who are going into grades 6th-12th and have registered for band at either the Blountstown Middle School or Blountstown High School. If your student is interested in joining the band but has not registered for band classes at either school, please have them do so ASAP.
The following is a list of upcoming 2013 Summer Band Camps. Please note that the camps do not cost anything to attend, but we do ask that you purchase a t-shirt for $15 the opening day of your first designated camp to identify each student as a camp attendee while on school facilities—these shirts will also be used during the 2013-14 school year performances.
