Basic fundamentals on your equipment will be stressed. The Spirit of Atlanta will rehearse a minimum of one full weekend each month beginning in December. We will strive to schedule all rehearsals so that they do not conflict with state band festivals, etc. Attendance at all camps is mandatory. Housing will be provided.
Members are responsible for their own meals during the winter camps.
The Jacksonville State University campus cafeteria will be available as well as many fast food restaurants in town. At this time, the Board of Directors is reviewing the fee structure of the corps. The payment schedule for the membership fees will be announced soon and will be discussed at length at the parent meeting and during the Open House. The member fee covers instruction from a top quality staff, instrument and uniform usage, food while with the corps on tour, housing while at rehearsals, marching shoes, gloves, member shirt and jacket, and travel for the summer tour. Each member is responsible for travel expenses to and from rehearsals and any extra spending money while at rehearsals and on tour.
