Ralph Hardimon instructing the drumline at Band Camp in 2003

Band Camp is held every year for about ten days before classes start for the Fall Quarter. This intensive training period is our opportunity to get to know each other and do most of the hard work of the season before having to worry about classes.

As a new Bruin Marching Band member, you'll get to move into your residence hall before everyone else does, and the Band covers the expense of moving in early. Additionally, you'll receive money on your Bruin Card that you can use during Band Camp to pay for most of your meals while you're here.

For Fall 2010, Band Camp starts on Sunday, September 12th at 12:00pm for all percussion and flags, and Monday, September 13th for new and returning band members in all other sections (time TBA).
