*All summer rehearsals are required. We understand that summer is a time for family vacations and extracurricular camps – we expect that students communicate any and all conflicts with rehearsals well in advance. The only exception is pre-camp and band camp – these dates are absolutely required to be a member of the Marching Rockets.
