This is the home of the Royal Blue Band from Cold Springs High School, located in Bremen, Alabama. Cold Springs is in the Cullman County School district. This website is where you can keep up with the band's activities throughout the school year.
Band Camp
I hope you've been keeping track of our band calendar! Band Camp will be the last two weeks of July as always. That will be 12-8pm on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. On Wednesdays we will dismiss at 4:30 and on Friday we will dismiss at 6pm. This includes ALL BAND MEMBERS! Including those who were in Beginning Band this year.
There will be a dinner break from 4-4:45 on all of the long days. We do not provide food for these breaks so students can bring a lunch or parents can bring it to them. There will be bread and meat to make sandwiches if someone cannot bring food. Students are to remain on campus for the duration of the day. There is no leaving campus to get food or anything like that. The full schedule for Band Camp and Drum Camp is on the "Calendar" page.
Band Camp is normally when people start paying their band fees. I say "normally" because you can get a jump start on those at any point. Just contact me and I'll meet you at the school. Feel free to make weekly payments of $15 or $20 if paying a lump sum will be more difficult for you.
Fees are staying $400 this year. $150 is due at band camp and the remainder must be paid by our first game. There will be some fundraisers during the summer to help offset these fees. Remember the more you help with fundraisers, the less you have to pay in fees. There are some students who are already paid in full due to their fundraiser efforts during this school year.
Drum Camp
For all who will be in the percussion section, including beginners and current high school percussionists, there will be a drum camp the week before band camp. This will be from 9am-1pm Monday-Friday. The full schedule for Band Camp and Drum Camp is on the "Calendar" page.
That's all I have for everyone right now. As always, don't hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions about anything. The most direct way to contact me is on the Rooms app, but I will also be checking my email a couple of times a week over the summer, as well.
Thanks for a good year and you all have a great summer!
