"Band camp is a wonderful opportunity to get to know people better and bond through the love and appreciation of music and performance." ~ Brandon Washington '13, Mellophone

"The strong sense of community within the band along with my fraternity brothers in Kappa Kappa Psi help get me through the tougher days of band camp. The student and faculty leadership is always there to encourage us to push through and keep striving to be the best ensemble we possibly can." ~ Amanda Davis '14, Clarinet
