A band camp typically refers to a high school, college, or university marching band summer camp.
 Band camp is often mandatory for members of the band, and constitutes the majority of the preparation a marching band makes before its marching season (learning how to march, learning "sets" on the field, memorizing show songs).
 A high school marching band may travel to a college or university for band camp for use of its facilities (dormitories, fieldhouses, fields) and services, or it may stay at the school.
 The time at band camp is used for focused rehearsals and time for bonding between band members.The colorguard also learns and rehearses with the marching band.
Over the last many decades, Redbank Valley has been known throughout the surrounding counties as prestige institution of education.
 The Redbank Valley High School (RVHS) athletics, education, and arts programs have been recognized throughout surrounding districts and communities.
 RVHS's "Bulldog Marching Band" was, at one point, the No. 1 marching band in the state, competing and placing high in both the North American Marching Band Association and the Lakeshore Marching Band Association.
 This is followed by the fine athletic programs, that have won numerous championships across the many sports programs provided.
 This has spanned across not only District IX, but on the state level as well.
 Education recently topped these all, as not even a decade ago, the school district had been educating many students that would receive highly regarded majors and doctorates.

The Marching Owl Band (aka The MOB or the Blues Band of South Main) is the Rice University "marching band" in the sense that it is the official ensemble that performs during football games, some basketball games, parades, and other public events.
 However, the MOB is not a traditional marching band, but rather a scatter band; members do not march, and some members play non-standard instruments (or no instrument at all).
 For example, in the most recent season these instruments included violins, violas, a cello, electric guitar, electric bass and electric piano.
 Extras known as Show Assistants are also a perennial inclusion in the MOB; these students play no instruments besides the kazoo (or an occasional didgeridoo), but are responsible for constructing and employing props in the half-time shows and acting out any mime or gag bits during performances.
 Rather than wear traditional marching band attire, The MOB instead dons pinstriped three-piece suits, ties, sunglasses, fedoras, and (in the case of Show Assistants) tommy gun props.
 (This attire is an obvious nod to the band's acronym, though in practice falls somewhere between the style of Capone-era mobsters and The Blues Brothers.)
 The group is known for satirical football halftime shows which, as MOB director Chuck Throckmorton says, poke fun at rival universities' sacred cows.
