Horizon Band Families,
We are excited to begin band camp this week! A few important reminders and updates before we get started. Please make sure to read all the way through!
Band Camp Schedule This Week
-Tomorrow (Monday): 8:00 AM–12:00 PM
Due to the school being closed, we will have a half day tomorrow. Students will need to use the field house restrooms during the morning.
-Tuesday–Friday: 8:00 AM–5:00 PM
We should have access to the building again, and these will be our full band camp days.
With the hot weather coming this week, please help your student prepare:
-Start hydrating tonight and continue drinking plenty of water throughout the week.
-Bring a full water jug/bottle every day.
-Apply sunscreen before arriving and bring it for reapplication.
-Hats are highly encouraged.
-Students are welcome to bring personal shade (such as canopies) if they would like a place to cool off during breaks. Make sure to have weights so they don't blow away!
We will be outside a lot this week, so being prepared for the heat will make a big difference!
NEW Drill Apps for 2026
This season we are switching to the new UDBpro powered by ARC system for drill. Ultimate Drill Book, Beam, and Geo are all new apps, and the logins/apps used last year will not work. Students will need to redownload the apps and go through a central ARC account setup.
Please follow the setup instructions here:

Our group information is below:
UDBpro (Ultimate Drill Book)
Subject Code: 6GAA6
Member Group: K2VC9
Beam
Subject Code: 6GAA6
Group Code: QRYXK
Geo
Subject Code: 6GAA6
Group Code: VLQVG
The Beam library from last year has been migrated and will still be accessible through the new app. Geo will help us with attendance and other important information throughout the season.
Please try to download the apps and complete the setup before tomorrow morning so we can spend less time troubleshooting and more time learning drill. At the latest, everything needs to be set up by Tuesday.
We are looking forward to an amazing week of camp and a great start to our season!
Go Hawks! (I also attached a video of what we'll be learning this week, movement 2 coming soon!)
