How to Find the Summer Band Camp Schedule on cougarband.org

The Summer Band Camp schedule is posted as a news announcement on the Tom C Clark Cougar Band homepage (cougarband.org), covering July 15–24. The key thing to understand before you look: rehearsal times and locations vary by section, so you can't rely on a single start time for everyone — you need to find your specific section's entry in the "Week at a Glance" listing.

Where the schedule lives

The schedule appears as a dated news post on the site, not as a separate permanent page. Look for the announcement titled with the camp dates (July 15–24) in the news/announcements area of the homepage. The post is attributed to Gina Yokley and dated July 13, 2026.

How to read the "Week at a Glance" format

The announcement presents the camp as a day-by-day list. Each entry pairs a day, a section, a location, and a time range. From the posted excerpt, the pattern looks like this:

To use it correctly:

1. Find your section first. Scan the list for your instrument or group (percussion, color guard, and so on).
2. Read across to the location. Note that different sections meet at different places — Rawlinson and University appear in the same day's listing.
3. Confirm the time for your section only. Don't assume your call time matches another section's.
4. Repeat for each camp day. Because times and locations vary by section, check every day that applies to you rather than memorizing one entry.

Before you go

The announcement includes a direct instruction to students: arrive prepared and ready to begin at the listed start time. That means treating the posted start time as the moment rehearsal begins, not a soft arrival window — build in your own travel and setup time ahead of it.

Common snags

• Assuming one schedule fits all. The most likely mistake is showing up at another section's time or location. The post explicitly warns that both vary by section.
• Skimming past the location. Two different sections on the same day meet at two different sites, so the location column matters as much as the time.
• Looking for a standalone schedule page. The information is published as a news post, so check the announcements rather than a fixed "calendar" or "documents" section.

If anything in the post is unclear for your section, the announcement is the authoritative source — re-read your specific line rather than asking another family, since their section's details may differ from yours.
