Summer Band is a required week-long training camp held the week prior to the start of the fall semester. During that week we work on music and marching fundamentals, and learn the drill and music for our pregame and halftime shows. The Summer Band 2026 dates are August 14-21. There will be an opening session for new members on the evening of Friday, August 14, 2026.
