NBHS Band Camp to Begin August 20th and 21st

The Consolidated School District of New Britain has announced that New Britain High School Golden Hurricanes Marching Band annual band camp will begin on August 20, 2018 for new band participants and August 21st for all band members.

“If your child is interested in joining band,” says the school district, “or is coming back for another year, band camp is the place to begin. The students begin learning the music for the season, formations for the field, and basic marching steps and commands.”
