Band Camp

Bandcamp @ WFR

Wake Forest - Rolesville Marching Cougars

Band Camp at WFR is the first two weeks in August. When you come to band camp, be prepared to be pushed to your physical and mental capacity. Band camp is not mild by any means, it is two full weeks of intense drill and music practice in some of the hottest days of summer. You will get sweaty, dirty, get extreme tan lines, and you will honestly have the time of your life. Band camp is a unique experience every year and you will not enjoy every moment of it. But once its over at the end of the day, you have the greatest sense of accomplishment because you achieved so much in one day. To make sure you're set for camp, read the Band Camp Survival Guide. It will give you everything you need to know to get through band camp and live to tell about it (and you will, its not like the Marines or anything) But if you forget everything else, at least bring these items:

  • Music
  • Drill if it has been given to you
  • Bag lunch
  • WATER BOTTLE (Camelbacks are even better)
  • SUN SCREEN (because you will be out in the sun all day)


    • If you have any questions, please email Director Alex Johnson or one of the drum majors.
