Parent volunteers are needed to ride the buses as the band members head down to Camp Swoneky for Band Camp. Chaperones should be at the High School around 8:30 am. They will ride the bus with the band members to camp, and will return on the empty buses to the high school arriving between 12-1. This is a great way to visit with other parents and see the camp, and you don’t have to ride on the same bus as your child!
