MARCHING ARTS WEEKEND is a fun, skill-building experience for high school students who want to improve as performers and leaders in their marching bands. Students learn from guest faculty and guest teachers in majorette, color guard, percussion, and drum major training. Open to individuals and sections, this camp helps students prepare for the upcoming season while having fun and making friends on the ATU campus.

• ALL FEES ARE DUE TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO THE FIRST DAY OF CAMP. We appreciate your full payment when registering. However, we recognize that sometimes more than one payment is necessary. If you need to make a second payment, please use the same link (you will be prompted to enter all of the same information for your additional payment, but this will not generate a second registration - only the payment amount will be processed). If you are an ATU employee, or are receiving a scholarship (equipment, All-State, Band Boosters, etc.), please contact us via email at band.camp@atu.edu or by calling (479) 968-0324.
