Summer rehearsals are completely voluntary, however every percussionist is encouraged to come and participate. These rehearsals will be especially valuable for players who wish to improve their skills before the upcoming marching band season.
The schedule below indicates which sections will be "officially" having rehearsal on each date. These sections only will be the focus of instruction on that day, but everyone who is able is welcome to come and practice independently on that day. I highly encourage you to do so.
This schedule is still subject to change pending final personnel assignments and possible schedule conflicts.

Drum Corp International Events
Usually, I post DCI events that are within a few hours drive of Atlanta. Unfortunately there are not many shows this year that are close by that do not conflict with our camps. However, if you're traveliing this summer, you might want to check the DCI event schedule and catch a show that might be happening in an area where you are traveling.
