DCSD Heat Protocol for Summer Camp
Heat Exhaustion is a very real thing and is taken seriously. We have a Med. Tent set up next to the field to deal with anything from a blister to more serious issues. We keep student forms in a binder in the tent along with a fully stocked first aid kit, Gatorade, water, fans, cooling cloths, etc. The students are on the field in the morning and in sectionals (inside) after lunch. They return to the field about 4:30pm and the temperature and humidity is monitored and recorded every thirty minutes. The band breaks for water and rest at the recommended frequency as dictated in the DCSD protocols.

Marching Shoes
All instrumentalists need to purchase their own Marching Band shoes.
There are many gently used shoes available for free. When we are fitting your child for their uniform, they can see if we have some shoes they can use.
If you prefer new shoes or if your child has a shoe size that is not available in the used shoes, we can place an order. We will make sure you have that information during band camp. We will place our order as a group, to save on shipping. Orders are due by July 28, 2024.
$52 for orders placed BEFORE July 28.
$72 for orders placed AFTER July 28 (includes additional shipping cost)
Shoes are available in both Men's and Women's sizes Medium and Wide.
We will enable links here when it is time to order shoes.
If you have any questions about your order or payment, please contact Lori Thompson.
The band's mission is to create a fun and competitive performing and social experience for high school students interested in music and performance.
