best counselors and staff in the world!
A little history on the summer band camp!
The Marching 100 Summer Band Camp has been in existence since 1990, when we
had less than 100 members. The majority of those in attendance were from Burke
HS (Charleston, SC), and William M. Raines HS (Jacksonville, FL). Burke got the
attendance award, and have been getting that award every since!
The camp includes a variety of bands and ensembles, and will help you to
become a more well-rounded musician. While the Marching Band is the crown jewel
of the camp, there are also the 3 symphonic bands (Honor, Orange, and Green),
two Jazz Bands, a Percussion Ensemble, Keyboard and Electronic Music, and an
ensemble for every instrument.
The camp also includes drum majors, flags, majorettes, and dancing girls.
The camp students are taught by "Marching 100" members, and perform
not only for their parents, but for all of the FAMU and Tallahassee residents at
their symphonic concert, ensemble concert, parade, and the final marching
exhibition of Bragg Memorial Stadium, home of the Mighty Rattlers!
If you're interested in getting more information about the camp, feel free to
send an email to the FAMU Music Dept. The
Alumni Band Association will be giving away camp scholarships and sending
information out to our distribution list. If you will fill out the
Interested
Musicians Form, we will know who you are, and will be able to get
information to you about the performances of the Marching 100. We have given, so
far, 15 scholarships over the past two years, so if you want to be in that
number, fill out the form!
