The Eagle Pride Marching Band believes that you must put in the work for a strong and successful show, which begins at Summer Camp. Attendance is mandatory to receive a competitive marching spot in the show. Traditionally, camp is held on campus at O’Connor. Students will begin to learn the drill, design concept & music for their show in addition to learning the Eagle Pride work ethic. They also have the opportunity to grow comradery with each other.
