The Marching 100 Summer Band Camp has been in existence since 1990, when we
had less than 100 members. The majority of those in attendance were from Burke
HS (Charleston, SC), and William M. Raines HS (Jacksonville, FL). Burke got the
attendance award, and have been getting that award every since!
The camp includes a variety of bands and ensembles, and will help you to
become a more well-rounded musician. While the Marching Band is the crown jewel
of the camp, there are also the 3 symphonic bands (Honor, Orange, and Green),
two Jazz Bands, a Percussion Ensemble, Keyboard and Electronic Music, and an
ensemble for every instrument. The camp also includes drum majors, flags, majorettes, and dancing girls.
The camp students are taught by "Marching 100" members, and perform
not only for their parents, but for all of the FAMU and Tallahassee residents at
their symphonic concert, ensemble concert, parade, and the final marching
exhibition of Bragg Memorial Stadium, home of the Mighty Rattlers!
Florida A& M University's Summer Band Camp provides students with musical and technical
training in order to further their musical educational aspirations. Year-after-year hundreds
of students aspire to attend for the marching, the playing, the dancing, but most importantly
for the camaraderie found in no other band, than the Marching 100. We encourage any and everyone to
attend no matter your technical or musical skill. All we ask is that you come ready to learn and
to have fun.
